This is true.
Bootstrapping is complete. The bootstrapped OS was installed using the Slackware installer, and now the package set that comprises the 14.2 release are building using hundreds of passes with some manual intervention to upgrade and apply some patches and hacks here and there. Once 14.2 is complete I'll merge in the changes in -current; but prior to then given that most of the ARM packages were rebuilt only a few months ago with gcc 5, it makes sense to rebuild them as-is and only upgrade if necessary.

Final toolchain rebuild after some fun with the glibc upgrade, and it's all done.
Anticipation is killing me. Great work Mozes!

If you're a fan of Lonely Island, you'll get this.
