This is turning out to be one of the biggest merges ever[*], currently representing 433 commits from 15 people, with commits dating back to September last year(!). Some of the highlights from this branch include: * jannekes long-awaited new reduced binary seeds for i686 and x86_64 * GCC7 is now the default compiler * The 'CMake' package comes with full documentation * OpenSSL 1.1 is now the default 'openssl' package * GNOME 3.30 * glibc 2.29, binutils 2.32, gettext 0.20, bash 5.0.7, gawk 5.0.1, ... To give everyone a little time to brush up any last-minute patches, as well as let the CI catch up with 'master' and 'staging', I suggest we set a final date for starting the full CI build on *July 9th*, i.e six days from now. At which point the branch becomes bugfix-only, no new updates or features. July 9th incidentally gives us just enough time to get Python 3.7.4 too, which comes with desirable security and OpenSSL 1.1 compatibility fixes. Thoughts?
