Amanda Hackers: We're gearing up for a new patch release of 2.6.0 in about 3 weeks, and I'd like to make sure that we get a lot of testing before that happens.
I've already sent out an email to the platform experts, and have heard back from a few. We quashed a few bugs this way, and there are a few still outstanding (the SCO OpenServer problem comes to mind). However, I don't have a good feeling for how many folks are using the 2.6.0 release, and what sorts of bugs they've encountered. We've made a lot of fixes to the Device API since 2.6.0p1, all of which need testing. What I need from *you* (yes, I'm looking at you, not the person beside you) is to download and test out the latest 2.6.0 images from http://www.zmanda.com/community-builds.php. You can test these non-invasively with the instructions at http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Testing, or incorporate them into your production systems. Positive or negative, please let me know what you find out. I'm completely available to help, too -- here, on #amanda, or wherever else you need me.
