Sorry the 5.2 release has revealed some shortcomings in the release process in relation to the repository in particular.
1) You can't upgrade to a beta from the repository, so testing repository upgrade to beta is impossible.
2) Optional packages aren't tagged/tested with release. At a minimum I think we need to tag the last packages as compatible if they are, or try to coordinate updates of most common packages.
The main issue is that the 5.2 upgrade for openacs.org has been delayed due to an error in the upgrade. Once the upgrade is complete I can tag the packages from 5.2 like forums, file-storage, bug-tracker that are working on the 5.2 openacs.org site.
