[Pacemaker] ANNOUNCE: Pacemaker 0.6.3 now available (bug-fix only release)

A little later than normal but its time for a Pacemaker bugfix-only  
release.

Packages for Pacemaker and it's immediate dependancies can be  
downloaded from the usual location:
    http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/ha-clustering

and the source can be obtained from:
   http://hg.clusterlabs.org/pacemaker/stable-0.6/archive/Pacemaker-0.6.3.tar.bz2

For a breakdown of the available packages and what parts are optional,  
please refer to
   http://clusterlabs.org/mw/Install#Package_List


One item of particular note, SNMP will no longer be part of the  
Pacemaker project and will instead be included with the GUI as part of  
a project focussed on high-level management tools.
New GUI/management packages (containing SNMP) will be published in the  
next day or so.

The decision to move SNMP was made in the context of further project  
and packaging changes to Heartbeat.
The idea is to split the remaining Heartbeat code into two parts (much  
like as I have been doing on software.opensuse.org)
* heartbeat-core : Code that is generically useful (eg. ipc, stonith,  
logging, resource agents)
* heartbeat      : Code that is specific to clusters based on the  
heartbeat stack (eg. membership, cluster messaging)

I'll continue to use the existing package structure on  
software.opensuse.org until the Heartbeat project finalizes the new  
project names and packages.
I will of course make sure that the relevant rpm directives are in  
place to allow upgrading from the "old name" packages to the new ones.


I should also mention Dominic Klein and the guys from NTT who have  
been doing lots of great master/slave and failcount testing (fixes for  
the issues they uncovered make up the majority of the changes in 0.6.3).


The next 0.6 release (if needed) will be mid-May.

regards,
Andrew
