While this isn't a call for everyone to throw in last minute hacks, this is the time to make sure everything is clean to be branched. Otherwise after I make the branch, we'll all be stuck checking in code in both branches.
After the branch, the only checkins to it should be bug fixes, or documentation updates. I discovered this week our docs are in seriously sad shape, so I've been rewriting them. The initial changes are all checked in as well, and at least now the chapters are in the correct order. Much of the content is 2 years out of date.
I've got a bit of cleanup of how the documentation gets built that I'm finishing up this morning. We now need both docbook-utils and docbook2X to build the docs, and although they build fine for me, getting the docbook tools working 100% correctly turns out to not be entirely reproducible by everyone, which I'm trying to track down.
All I know by heart is LaTeX, unfortunately in this case(?)... I'll see IFF I get some spare time to learn docbook and that I'm alert enough to focus on a rewrite. OpenWRT is taking compiling time at (my other) work so I might be able to learn the fundamentals during compilation. Also afaik the Linux kernel docs are in docbook format, another excuse ;)
//Markus If anybody has ever felt like an in-the-closet tech-writer, and you know docbook, this week is a good time for coming out of the closet. :-) I'll be traveling for a week (FOSDEM, followed by an embedded systems conference), and working on further manual rewriting. Ideally we'll do the release itself as soon as I get back in town to my workstation with a newly updated manual.
