Hi all, it seems that someone is agree with me and someone is not about the solution to add the pre-release of rsync (3.0.0pre4) into the stable branch of SystemImager and tag the new 4.0.2 stable ASAP (4.0.1, since ".1" is odd, is reserved for development pre-releases).
So, probably this is the first polling in these lists :-), don't know, but I would really like to know opinion of the community about this issue. The fact is that the current stable release of SystemImager 4.0.0 is not "stable" enough: there is a bug that occurs with rsync when it's built on a machine with a kernel >= 2.6.22 (that's actually my build server) and the installing client uses a kernel < 2.6.22: See http://www.systemimager.org:8000/trac.systemimager.org/ticket/6 for details, many thanks to Rochus Schmid for reporting this bug. The proposed solutions for now are: 1) use the pre-release of rsync that seems to fix the problem and tag SystemImager 4.0.2, leaving the 4.0.0 packages as they are, let me say that I would just proceed like the kernel guys do if there's a bug in the kernel (just leave all the previous released kernels "forzen" and available for download in any case, and always release new versions in case of errors/bugs) 2) remove the old 4.0.0 packages from SF.net (let me say "close" them to the users), rebuild all the packages in a build server with a kernel < 2.6.22 and then release the new packages using the same version number: 4.0.0 3) rebuild the packages in a build server with a kernel < 2.6.22 and changing the version number to 4.0.2, leaving 4.0.0 packages as they are on SF.net 4) other ideas are welcome... I vote for 1). -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?
