Have you considered setting up a virtual instance of the server and running -current on it so you can actively test for errors and have updated configuration files ready for the next roll-out?

At that point all of your -current installation will already be on 13.1. My guess is as long as they don’t find a bunch of bugs soon 13.1 will be out by the end of the week.

I've never seen a release coming together like this. It's interesting to see just how much work is required to put a good distribution together. This is pretty awesome.

It's been very interesting to see what changes come down in preparation for a new release. Yes, new slackpkg came down last night and I have installed it everywhere.

When I run transcode, I get this error: "[decode_mpeg2.c] critical: No support for MPEG2 configured -- exiting". Feeding that into Google, leads me to this thread: http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=120414 I think the relevant part is this comment: "I realised that transcode must not have been built with the libmpeg2-devel libraries." What I would like to do is work through the lot and install everything from source and see how that works out. But I can't do that because of the gcc upgrade issue. I don't have systems back on 13.0, they are all on current. So this leads me to believe that I should always keep one system on the base level, or get VirtualBox working with the base level in it. Or I could wait till the next big release when hopefully it will all get fixed. I'll work on VIrtualBox and see what I can do with that.
