Re: New release time?

As soon as we release 1.3.23, we should go ahead and rebuild all packages
under control of at least people on this list within a week.  On
cygwin-apps we should encourage all maintainers to rebuild as quick as
possible and we should set a date (+6 months or so) after which all
non-rebuilt packages are removed from the distro.  This has the
interesting side effect that we can see which packages have lost their
maintainers ;-)

Why do the 64 bit changes require package recompiles? Is something going to break, or is this for efficiency reasons?

I'm scared -- I have local packages that I don't want to recompile...
