As I said I need to fix 2 remaining bugs (should not be too long), but I
won't have them ready till the end of the week-end (one is important to
fix otherwise the relationships dialog won't display correctely).
Could the release otherwise wait for the beginning of next week?

Are you away for the whole next week?

Not completely because Mandrake uses a menu system RedHzt does not (the
same as the debian one). Anyway, I can find a little time to convert them
and make Mandrake 8.0 Packages for Gnome-DB and Libgda.
