| | 5 | == September 5, 2006 == |
| | 6 | [ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/bcfg/bcfg2-0.8.3.tar.gz Bcfg2-0.8.3] released. |
| | 7 | * Extensible variable interpolation in Cfg (substitution of |
| | 8 | @@[email protected]@, etc) |
| | 9 | * Considerably improved Debian support (no longer does anything in |
| | 10 | dry-run mode; does not call apt-get clean, etc unless explicitly |
| | 11 | told to) |
| | 12 | * Considerably improved Solaris support (better handling of smf |
| | 13 | legacy services and removal of sysv packages) |
| | 14 | * A bug causing web report failures was fixed |
| | 15 | * An interactive client mode has been implemented (prompting for |
| | 16 | which configuration entries can be updated in a client run) |
| | 17 | * The debian packaging has been completely redone |
| | 18 | * The init script has been rewritten to be lsb compliant |
| | 19 | * Cron scripts are now provided, and packaged with debs and rpms |
| | 20 | * The Encap packaging has been dramatically improved, and should now |
| | 21 | work properly on solaris |
| | 22 | * Hostbase (an IP management system) has been updated, and its web |
| | 23 | interface is available in thsi release. |
| | 24 | * The bcfg2 client can now autoselect between lxml, elementtree, and |
| | 25 | the integrated version of elementtree in python2.5. This means that |
| | 26 | the client can be run using _only_ python2.5 as a prereq! |
| | 27 | * Added a new debian package index creation script |
| | 28 | * Updated rpmlisting.py (use file name parsing if possible, yielding |
| | 29 | 50X speedup for properly formatted file repositories) |
| | 30 | * Added a new utility to query clients.xml based on client properties |
| | 31 | (up/down, profile, etc) |
| | 32 | * Fixed syslog reconnect code (triggered by syslog restart) |
| | 33 | * Fixed syslog compatibility with solaris |
| | 34 | * The Redhat toolset now calls rpm -e with --allmatches |
| | 35 | * Various schema fixes |
