Changes are few:

MONDO:

Remove speed=1 for growisofs (better version expected for 2.0.8) Usage of Epoch for RPMs to ease update

MINDI:

analyze-my-lvm is under $MINDI_SBIN (not _LIB) Usage of Epoch for RPMs to ease update

2006-03-20 Mondo 2.0.7 / Mindi 1.0.7 are out

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

Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org :

mandrake/10.1/mindi-1.0.7-447.101mdk.i386.rpm
mandrake/10.1/mondo-2.0.7-447.101mdk.i386.rpm
mandrake/10.2/mindi-1.0.7-447.102mdk.i386.rpm
mandrake/10.2/mondo-2.0.7-447.102mdk.i386.rpm
mandriva/2006.0/mindi-1.0.7-447.20060mdk.i386.rpm
mandriva/2006.0/mondo-2.0.7-447.20060mdk.i386.rpm
src/mindi-1.0.7-r447.tgz
src/mondo-2.0.7-r447.tgz

Other distributions will follow asap (should be able to produce soon redhat 7.3, fedora core 4, and only after rhel3/4 and sles9) due to the change in the virtual machines I have to do (now using qemu + more tools to generate RPMs)

The focus on this version has been more around the new website and documentation, and a bit less on code. So some persistant bugs are still not corrected (some dvd burning issues and dm/lvm2 support mainly) and will be hopefully in 2.0.8.
