- factory is - I would say - interesting at the moment, many failing packages are causing a huge dependency problem as we updated glibc, perl and networkmanager - kde 4.0.0 got integrated - glibc 2.7 - perl 5.10 - networkmanager 0.7 - pine is dropped, alpine replaces it now

Some of these items are probably worth mentioning in the release notes. It is probably too early to start writing aobut KDE 4.

The perl update seems to cause some headaches. Would someone please to post some details? It's causing headaches because some packages do not build for other reasons and then require the old perl version. It's not a different perl though.

Are there incompatibility issues with glibc and networkmanager? I'm not yet aware of user visible changes due to them. networkmanager 0.7 will offer more features, but that should not be part of the release notes imo.

Is the alpine relpacement seemingless? I _think_ so, ask bk

Very much so, yes. Alpine offers some additional settings and functionality and has some change under the hood wrt. UTF-8 support which are mostly improvements but may be noticable in corner cases, but it is really just evolutionary. I have been following Alpine for more than a year, from the very early snapshots, and regularily used both Pine and Alpine on the same machine with the same config file even and that works just fine.
