Hi Christian, thanks for your comments - you're right, the website is pretty under-updated recently. We've finished a tidying up of the website content - clearer download/setup instructions, more info for developers etc but have been holding off on deploying the updated site content specifically waiting for release 4.0.1. Mainly because the updated site documents the 'easy' installation of deltacloud using rubygems (i.e. gem install deltacloud-core) - and this only works because of the updated .gemfile dependencies in release 4.0.1. (basically, the gemfile outlines all 'runtime' gems - especially the ones that deltacloud uses to talk to the cloud providers like aws).
I just checked rubygems.org and we haven't yet pushed the updated deltacloud-core gem (4.0.1); this should happen in the next few hours/day. Once that is done I will also deploy the updated site content. One the new gem is pushed to rubygems.org, you'll be able to get the latest release by: gem install deltacloud-core For now, you can get the release at the www.apache.org/dist/incubator/deltacloud/0.4.1/ - I take your point about the mirroring system. If you have the time/interest, you can use the git mirror to get the sources+build the latest: mkdir DeltacloudProject; cd DeltacloudProject git clone git://git.apache.org/deltacloud.git cd ./deltacloud/server rake package sudo gem install ./pkg/deltacloud-core-0.4.1.gem We also have a github page which mirrors the apache repo at https://github.com/apache/deltacloud if you prefer github. As I say, the 4.0.1 will be deployed to rubygems very soon - once that happens 'gem install deltacloud-core' will give you the latest release and all its dependencies, all the best, marios On 12/10/11 12:13, Christian Grobmeier wrote: > David, > > congratulations to the new release. > > Just a comment....
