| | 5 | A new release for bcfg2 1.2.0rc2 is now available at: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/bcfg |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | The following highlights some of the major changes from the first |
| | 11 | release candidate: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * SSHbase - Add a number of features |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | * Support for group-specific host keys |
| | 16 | * Support for fully static host- and group-specific ssh_known_hosts |
| | 17 | * (Support for totally generic host keys and ssh_known_hosts, too, |
| | 18 | but that's pretty useless.) |
| | 19 | * Support for info.xml, info, and :info files; only info.xml is likely |
| | 20 | to be useful, with the <Path> directive |
| | 21 | * ECDSA key support from ticket #1063 |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | * Packages |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | * Improve error handling of Packages plugin (from Mike McCallister) |
| | 26 | * The following is from Chris St. Pierre: |
| | 27 | * Added support for yum libraries (if available and configured). |
| | 28 | This can dramatically reduce memory usage, and fixed several bugs: |
| | 29 | * #1014 (Package plugin can't resolve dependencies for rpms with |
| | 30 | Require: tags for full paths that aren't Provided explicitly) |
| | 31 | * #991 (Dependency Resolution difference between Package and yum) |
| | 32 | * #996 (Packages high memory usage) |
| | 33 | * Added support for Yum package groups when using yum libraries |
| | 34 | (#1039) |
| | 35 | * Fixed #911 (bcfg2 output for wrong package version with Packages |
| | 36 | is misleading) |
| | 37 | * YUMng turns down the Yum debug level itself depending on the |
| | 38 | debug/verbosity level requested by bcfg2 so you don't have to reduce |
| | 39 | the Yum debug level on a global basis |
| | 40 | * Added support for Pulp repositories, including registering Pulp |
| | 41 | consumers and binding to repositories |
| | 42 | * Added ability to disable magic OS groups |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | * improve error logging during LDAP query processing (from Torsten Rehn) |
| | 45 | * Cfg: Add support for .cheetah files (from Joe Digilio) |
| | 46 | * Initial support for the APK management in Alpine Linux (from Fabian |
| | 47 | Affolter on behalf of Cameron Banta) |
| | 48 | * made all XMLFileBacked plugins (e.g., GroupPatterns) support XInclude |
| | 49 | (from Chris St. Pierre) |
| | 50 | * added Defaults plugin (from Chris St. Pierre) |
| | 51 | * made templated bundles understand <Group> and <Client> tags (from |
| | 52 | Chris St. Pierre) |
| | 53 | * Reports: Make database_port setting optional (from Holger Weiß) |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | In addition to those mentioned above, we also received contributions |
| | 56 | from anatoly techtonik and Calen Pennington. Thanks to everyone who |
| | 57 | contributed. |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | There are Ubuntu packages built and available in the testing PPA. |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | We are in need of some more testing before we tag the final release. |
| | 62 | Please test and report any bugs here or on IRC, Trac, or Github. |
