Re: VCL appliance 2.1
Hi Kelly, The appliance(or any VCL appliance) is not supported by Apache VCL. I would suggest to use the VCL Install guide. <http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Documentation> Aaron --On August 24, 2009 1:46:32 PM -0400 Kelly Robinson wrote: Can someone tell me the contents of the VCL-VM.vmdk file located on the download site for the VCL 2.1 appliance ( http://brian-linux.cnl.ncsu.edu/VCLVM3G/ ) ?

Re: vcl appliance vm maintenance
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It's my understanding that because the appliance contains GPL licensed software (more specifically, any software whose license is not compatible with the ASL), it cannot be officially "supported" by the Apache VCL development group. If that's correct, someone in the community is allowed to provide an unofficial appliance as a convenience to users of Apache VCL, in which case, the questions below would be more along the lines of "what's most convenient for users" vs. "what does the community officially want to do".

vcl appliance vm maintenance
Hi All, There are a couple of vcl appliances in the form of vmware vm's that are used by the community. These vm's are scattered across several hosting sites (ibiblio, oscar systems, etc). I think we need a system for maintaining, support, and hosting for these appliances. Here are some opinions/datapoints to start the discussion: - I propose that we have one supported appliance version for simplicity - I'd like ibiblio host it if they and Apache are cool with it - The current vm at ibiblio (vcl v1.6) should be deprecated - A fedora version of a vm exists here - https://wiki.oscr.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/The_VCL_2.1_Virtual_Appliancegives - We are working on a sles vm version Questions to answer: - Which vm(s) should be currently supported? - Where should they be hosted? - Who handles this in the future and what is the process (how to track with releases, testing, schedule, etc)?

Re: VCL Appliance
Is the VCL Virtual Appliance 2.1 still available for download? If so, where can the files be found? The link http://www.ibiblio.org/vclvm/ has the 1.6 version of the appliance and the wiki link https://wiki.oscr.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/The_VCL_2.1_Virtual_Appliance gives an error.

Re: VCL Appliance
Where is the download originiating from ? I assume this is not a build of VCL made from the Incubator since we have not released one yet. Is this from NCSU ?

Re: VCL Appliance
I'm having the same problem -- no seeds, and the http direct download was broken when I tried it several days in a row. I emailed Andy Rindos, who forwarded my issue report to Brian Bouterse. This was on Apr 2, and I haven't heard any updates, since.

I have been unable to download the VCL appliance. The torrent appears to not have any seeders and the http link appears to be broken. How do I download it? -- Mark Gardner --
