Sorry Ruben for not responding to this earlier. As you likely
noticed, I recently posted an email regarding the challenges with the
old vs. new scripts and their problems with Felix 3. There was little
feedback for my initial inquiry, and after further consideration there
was agreement that we'll continue to recommend running felix 2.x with
the old scripts for the maintenance release.

Keep in mind that this release is for people who are desperate to get a
pilot up "yesterday" for the Spring semester. If they can wait, 1.1
will be available in Feb. I will suggest in the release notes that for
those with debian dists, the init script can be modified based on
Tobias' suggestion if they really want to run it on 3.x. Since this
modification hasn't gone through QA, it will not be officially supported
in 1.0.1. The same applies to the ZipUtil. It would be great if you
were willing to add this to the branch. If you're interested, I can add
this to the release notes as available but not officially supported. It
would be great if you could provide me with instructions on how to add
this from the branch to 1.0.1 to include in the release notes. Thanks!

Hello,
Is there somebody reading this thread? I hope so, so that this
maintenance release fulfills its objectives.
I believe no other 1.0.1 versions have been cut, but the tag is still
outdated: the current matterhorn_init_d.sh file does not correctly
start Felix 3 as a service.
Apart from that, I just realized that the ZipUtil.java version in that
tag is also outdated: it's the old one, using the native Java Zip
libraries, and therefore lacking support for >4GB files. We have been
instructing our fellow Spanish adopters to patch the 1.0.x version
with the ZipUtil file in the trunk, to allow them working with big zip
files, but this is really painful[1]. It would be nice (I'd say
indispensable) to include the new ZipUtil version in the maintenance
release, or even updating the 1.0.x branch that (apparently) everybody
is using.
I know that the Christmas Holidays have slowed down things a little
(btw. Happy New Year to you all), but still we shouldn't forget these
issues that are easy to include and solve two very annoying issues in
the current version.
Best regards,
Rubén
[1] Has somebody a better solution to get the big Zip files working?

Felix running as a service is NOT fixed in that tag: the
matterhorn_init_d.sh script based in "nohup" that Rüdiger
refactored is not included there. The old one would work, but
needs to be modified according to the suggestion Tobias made in
http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-5673. I can provide a patched
"old" script, but I believe that Rüdiger script should make it
into the release, since it seems it's tested and works.
I still like "start-stop-daemon" better, but since that command is
only available in Debian-like distributions, Rüdiger's nohup-based
version should be the one to go.

Since 1.1 will likely be released late January, early
February, a maintenance release will be made available to
institutions looking to expand or kickstart their Spring 2011
pilots within an early January timeframe. There are a few
blockers that have been addressed in this release, but the
code base is largely the same as 1.0.0. Although there has
been some QA for this release, it would help if you could test
it out (particularly the fixes below). Unless something major
comes up, we will look to officially offer this release at the
beginning of January.
http://opencast.jira.com/svn/MH/tags/1.0.1.9418/
Keep in mind that most 1.0.0 bugs will be addressed in 1.1, so
please take the time to look in Jira before you enter a new
bug. Unlike the 1.0.0 release, you should use felix 3.0 -
3.0.4 instead of 2.x for the maintenance branch. Make sure to
use the updated matterhorn_init_d.sh if you want to run
Matterhorn as a service in felix 3.x.
Blockers Addressed in 1.0.1:
Engage player: streaming performance - video stutter
http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-5669
Schedule Group of Recordings: Wrong time in "upcoming" if
splitting over clock change to daylight saving time
http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-5631
Engage Player Does Not Work in Chrome (7.0.517.44)
http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-5851
Unable to setup Felix3 to run as a service
