[opam-devel] OPAM 1.1.1 RC2 => release !

[Louis Gesbert]

I tagged it on friday, but didn't really advertise it, to be honest ; that only makes your point stronger anyway :)

It would probably be a good idea to start setting up a bunch of test VMs on a box for this purpose. But anybody is still welcome to help checking the release !

An issue has been added here: https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/1114
to track this.

I.e. a Ubuntu (Precise/Saucy), Debian (Wheezy/Jessie), Fedora FreeBSD 10 and OpenBSD, and perhaps rPi.  That's a more useful way to determine if it's release ready rather than waiting for a period of time.

We are working on a more general mirroring solution for the next release.
