I noticed that it has been a year since our last release, so it's time once again for another release. A new branch has been created (RELEASE-20c-BRANCH) for the release.
This time, I'm not going to do any pre-release. We'll make just the one build due at the end of this month for the 20c release. If it's broken for some reason, we'll send a patch if possible. If it's really broken, we'll recommend people to use the following snapshot. (Of course, because of the release, there will not be a snapshot for Nov.) I think that for NetBSD the recommendation will have to be to stick with the 2011-10 snapshot. I can rebuild this for later OS releases.
The build scripts don't work anymore. Bummer. In what way do the build scripts not work anymore? Did you remember to use the boot-20c bootstrap file? There were really very few changes between 2011-10 and the release candidate. Other than changing

Ok. I downloaded and installed a bare bones NetBSD 5.1 (i386) system in virtual box. I don't have this problem. create-target.sh succeeds and motif/server exists. build-all.sh -b build -C "x86_freebsd NetBSD" -o 2011-10/bin/lisp starts compiling the world, but then hangs. That might be an issue with my network or wifi or nfs since I mounted the sources via nfs to a linux box. We should probably make create-target.sh a little smarter and automatically choose x86_freebsd and NetBSD when running on a NetBSD system. Ray
