|

18 | <p>
|
---|
19 | I'm happy to announce the availability of the latest and greatest
|
---|
20 | version of mondo 2.0.7 / mindi 1.0.7. Version numbers have changed of
|
---|
21 | format to be more in line with what is done generally (x.y.z)
|
---|

38 | <p>
|
---|
39 | Other distributions will follow asap (should be able to produce soon
|
---|
40 | redhat 7.3, fedora core 4, and only after rhel3/4 and sles9) due to the
|
---|
41 | change in the virtual machines I have to do (now using qemu + more tools
|
---|
42 | to generate RPMs)
|
---|
43 | </p>
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | <p>
|
---|
46 | The focus on this version has been more around the new website and
|
---|
47 | documentation, and a bit less on code. So some persistant bugs are still
|
---|
48 | not corrected (some dvd burning issues and dm/lvm2 support mainly) and
|
---|
49 | will be hopefully in 2.0.8.

108 | <p>Things are progressing. I've gathered all the packages that were originally on <a href="http://www.mondorescue.org">http://www.mondorescue.org</a> and also added Mike's SuSE RPMs
|
---|
109 | + all the latest packages I've produced and put them on a new ftp server

110 | accessible at <a href="ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org">ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org</a>
|

111 | </p><p>

112 | You may have issues to access to it yet, as I've done a DNS refresh this
|

113 | night and propagation could not be made everywhere now.

143 | I think that it's time to promote our revisions to a newer version, as a
|

145 | improvements, even if some small known bugs remain (and other could

146 | always appear). So here are mindi 1.06 / mondo 2.06 aka Christmas
