[Pacemaker] ANNOUNCE: Pacemaker 1.0.4 now available (maintenance release)

[Andrew Beekhof]

It took a little longer than expected, but the latest 1.0 maintenance  
release (1.0.4) is finally available.

You can read the following in a readable format at:

-- Andrew


Apart from a number of important bug fixes, the latest release is the  
first to include comprehensive man-pages for all CLI tools.  These are  
generated from the source code using help2man (http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man 
) and so are guaranteed to be accurate.

Unfortunately for RHEL and CentOS users, those distros don't ship  
help2man and so the man pages are not available on those platforms.   
However one can obtain the same information using the --help option.

Packages for Pacemaker 1.0 and it's immediate dependancies can be  
downloaded for openSUSE, SLES, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS and Mandriva  
(Debian users read on) 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-1.0/archive/Pacemaker-1.0.4.tar.bz2

General installation instructions are available at:

### Project AdministriviaNext Release
Yours truly will be on vacation for the second half of this month, so  
the next release will be in late July.

#### RHEL-4 Packages
The build issues for RHEL-4 have finally been sorted out and binary  
packages are one again available from the build service.

#### NEW! “Real” Debian Packages
By happy co-incidence, courtesy of Martin Loschwitz from LINBIT, the  
1.0.4 release sees the arrival of a fully functional, “official”,  
repository from which to obtain Pacemaker.

Martin’s work replaces the sort-of-worked-sort-of-didnt packages from  
the openSUSE build service which have now been disabled.
