Hi all: It has been a while since we've made a release (3 years, in fact!) so I'm happy to let you guys know that we are working on releasing 4.2.0 (stable) to the world soon.
Here's the current changelog: 4.2.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - clarify error message with respect to tftp client not found while running si_mkbootserver - added --numeric-ids option to rsync call to work around LDAP bug when username is being looked up inside a chroot - added -fno-tree-scev-cprop to KBUILD_CFLAGS to work around a compile issue with gcc 4.3 - include /var/lib/nfs/statd/sm and /var/lib/nfs/statd/sm.bak in the image - make --script parameter optional for si_addclients - run systemconfigurator in verbose mode when setting up an autoinstall client - use ioctl() to identify IP address of interface (more portable) - reduce the interval of re-requests made by the BitTorrent seeder on the image server to the tracker to 5 minutes - skip broken symlinks when generating minimal libraries for initrd - new udev + hotplug-ng hardware detection layer - added web based monitor GUI for clients.xml - added /var/www/systemimager directory for all SI web pages - implement the si_addclients functionality to add /etc/hosts entries in si_clusterconfig - allow si_prepareclient to be executed via ssh by explicitly closing rsync stdin - added support for relatime mount option in BusyBox 1.9.1 - added monitoring and BitTorrent sections to local.cfg example - added --config option documentation in si_mkbootpackage manpage - better describe the function of local.cfg in si_mkbootpackage documentation - enable e1000e network driver by default for i386 and x86_64 kernels - print out URL to Wiki documentation when BitTorrent binaries are not found during installation - added option --checksum (-c) to si_pcp and si_pushoverrides - fix warning in si_mkdhcpserver on 64-bit architectures - use a different DB in si_monitortk if --db is specified - do not backup tftp file in the xinetd configuration directory when si_mkbootserver is run - updated BOEL kernel to 2.6.31.3 (for i386 and x86_64) - updated LVM to 2.2.02.53 - removed devmapper - fixed issue with pvcreate not seeing storage targets with newer kernels - updated tar to 1.22 - updated kexec-tools to 2.0.1 - added ncurses-devel to RPM spec file BuildRequires - update xfsprogs to 3.1.4 I have been able to successfully build on RHEL5 and RHEL6, but could really use your help in testing the code. Note this is *development* code, so please do not use in production systems -- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK :-) You can find the tarballs and RPMs here: http://download.systemimager.org/~bli/systemimager/ The snapshot is named 4.1.99 such that when it's ready to be released it will be renamed 4.2.0. You'll also notice that there are a bunch of files labelled "ext4" -- these should provide support for ext4 filesystems but have not been tested. It would be great if you could try it (eg. on RHEL6). Would appreciate it if the community could help with testing this upcoming release and provide feedback in this thread. It could help speed up the release process.
