Hello everyone, This is to announce that we are now at RC2 for the 1.0.2 version of Cluster Glue and the Resource Agents package, and at 3.0.2-rc2 for Heartbeat. The other important announcement to make is that things are getting moving on the www.linux-ha.org web site.
I think we all agree that while the current web site is not 100% garbage, it contains a large amount of outdated (or outright wrong) information, and the most troublesome part is that it is impossible for users (specifically first-timers) to tell which content is useful and which is rubbish. I'll spare you the examples, I believe everyone who has been using the web site in the last two years knows what I am talking about. We are thus in the progress of pulling up a new website while leaving the old one fully operational (and we intend to keep it that way for quite a while). The new site is MediaWiki based and is located at http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/ with http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/Main_Page being the customary starting point. Don't be disappointed; the site is quite skeletal at this point, but expect this to change fairly rapidly. Since the new site is all in the /wiki/ namespace that the old site does not use, this allows us to keep both the old and new site running in parallel as long as that is necessary. So you have time updating your bookmarks and rewriting your blog entries. For the time being, the http://www.linux-ha.org start page does _not_ redirect to the new MediaWiki, as the new site content is still incomplete, but we intend to implement such a redirect by February. Even then, the old content will still exist and direct links to the old site will work. Once we decide that the new site has replaced or supplanted most content of the old site, we will eventually drop the old site with ample advance warning. We expect this to be several months in the future, at the very least. The other change about the website is that it finally states what license applies to its contents. The old site has no such statement as far as I can tell; the new site uses the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 (CC-BY-SA) license. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for details. I should add that these changes were of course discussed with, and approved by, the Linux-HA project Board. The -rc2 tarballs will be available from the new site after we resolve one file upload issue we are currently having; the download location will be http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/Download. For now, you can grab your tarballs directly from Mercurial: Cluster Glue: http://hg.linux-ha.org/glue/archive/glue-1.0.2-rc2.tar.bz2 Heartbeat: http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/archive/STABLE-3.0.2-rc2.tar.bz2 Resource agents: http://hg.linux-ha.org/agents/archive/agents-1.0.2-rc2.tar.bz2 Build instructions have been written up by Andrew on the Clusterlabs website (http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Install#From_Source). Happy testing! If you want to help us out hugely and have access to a Solaris or OpenSolaris box, we would be highly interested in getting http://developerbugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2252 fixed before RC3 and need people to reproduce this issue. With this, yours truly is finally off for the vacation I've technically been on since Thursday, and will be back in January. In the meantime, if you happen to have any questions or comments about the RCs, or the website, then please do not hesitate to post to the -dev list, where either Lars (Ellenberg) or Dejan will be happy to help you out. Cheers, Florian
