I'm happy to announce the next release of qmailtoaster-plus! This is a
fairly major release.
First and foremost, the qmailtoaster-plus.repo package has been
expanded. It now includes repositories for each distro/version to
provide the FUSE packages required by the updated qtp-newmodel. While it
is usually a good idea to run
# yum update
before running qtp-newmodel, you *must* minimally run
# yum update qmailtoaster-plus.repo
before running the new qtp-newmodel with a unionfs sandbox.
If you don't do this update, you'll see:
Error getting repository data for qtp-CentOS, repository not found
qtp-mount-sandbox - installation of dependent packages failed
qtp-mount-sandbox - is your qmailtoaster-plus.repo package up to date?
Secondly, the unionfs sandbox used by qtp-newmodel has been totally
revamped. It now runs with FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace), so it doesn't
need to be rebuilt whenever the kernel is updated. This is compatible
now with newer kernels (Fedora 10,11), and has been implemented in older
kernels (2.6.9+) with the help of the dkms and dkms-fuse packages. All
of the details are handled automatically by the qtp-mount-sandbox
script, which is invoked by qtp-newmodel (and can be run from the CLI
FWIW). If you're running CentOS, be sure to be patient when dkms-fuse is
installing. It takes a bit of time because it builds a kernel module
during the post install process.
The unionfs sandbox has not been tested on Suse or Mandriva. I expect
there will be a few things that need to be done to get it working, but
it shouldn't be difficult, as the pieces are all in place. If one of you
who is running Suse or Mandriva would like to test this functionality,
please contact me.
The other fairly big change is that the qtp-extraclam script has been
replaced with a new qtp-install-sanesecurity script. This script
downloads and installs the current version of the script which maintains
the extra clamav databases. When a new version becomes available, you
can simply rerun qtp-install-sanesecurity to get the latest version.
There are other minor enhancements as well. qtp-newmodel now lets you
select packages for re-install, and it also displays the last 10 lines
of the log file if/when there's a build error. See the release notes for
any other little things I may have missed in this announcement.
As always, please post to the list with any questions or comments.
NJoy!
I meant to mention that the FUSE unionfs hasn't been tested on x86_64.
I'm really sorry to have omitted that. I hope we can get this working on
x86_64 hosts in short order.
