MirrorBrain 2.5 is out...there are plans for OpenOffice.org and Samba to use it eventually.
there are also some new mailing lists: http://mirrorbrain.org/communication & a presentation (Per was there) & interview! http://tube.opensuse.org/fosdem09/fosdem09_day2_04-cdn.ogg http://mirrorbrain.org/interview ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Poeml <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 5:37 PM Subject: [mirrorbrain-announce] 2.5 Release: PostgreSQL Support To: [email protected], [email protected] [This release is nearly two weeks old -- I lag with the announcement.] Version 2.5 was released: it adds support for using the PostgreSQL database as backend, alternatively to MySQL. MySQL is still fully supported. However, PostgreSQL is recommended now, particularly for large installations with dozens of mirrors and more. PostgreSQL support is an important step to a next-generation mirror selection regime that is in the works. Migration is pretty easy; the mb tool can export data in a format the PostgreSQL can understand. The 2.5 release also sees major improvements in the mirror scanner. It now produces a much more readable output and error reporting. This makes it easier to see spot problems encountered on mirrors. Database operations done by the scanner are more efficient in this release. The installation instructions have undergone a rework to be more complete, and reflect the recent changes. More to come... -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
