Hi, DebConf10 in New York just finished and as a result we are proud to be able to announce a new FAI release, version 3.4.0.
Out of more than 130 svn commits since the last stable release (3.3.5) Thomas and me chose ~75 commits that should make it into a new stable release. This new stable release (3.4.0) is targeted toward Debian squeeze but is also meant to provide continuous support for lenny and etch as well. This release has been tested with squeeze and is known to work. Please notice that mdadm in squeeze currently has a RC bug, known as "#589836 - mdadm: breaks initramfs on fresh (chroot) installation". I've prepared a fix and an upload should happen soon, in the meanwhile you can grab the patch as well as packages at http://people.debian.org/~mika/mdadm/ Upgrading from previous versions of FAI to the 3.4.0 release is supposed to be easy and should not break anything (we tried to take special care and be as backwards compatible as possible). If you notice ANY problems (upgrading, building,....) please report them to the Debian bug tracking system (BTS) against the according packages (fai-client, fai-server,...) so we can resolve them until squeeze gets released. FAI 3.4.0 was just uploaded to Debian/unstable and is available also through http://people.debian.org/~mika/fai/ (we plan to provide it via testing/upcoming stable soon as well), if you want to integrate it in your sources.list just use: deb http://people.debian.org/~mika/fai/release/ ./ As Thomas won't be available until 5th of September I'll take over maintenance in the meanwhile, so if I you have any questions, wishes,.. with regards to FAI 3.4.x please let me know. Note: If you are interested in the very latest features and want to test current development versions please be aware that Thomas just released 4.0~beta (see his mail on fai mailinglists, message id <[email protected]>), if you want a stable version you should consider using the 3.4.x release. regards, -mika-
