[Pacemaker] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Debian Packages for Pacemaker 1.0.6, completely revamped

Tue Nov 3 15:32:13 UTC 2009

Ladies and Gentleman,

i am happy to announce the availability of Pacemaker 1.0.6 packages
for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias Lenny (i386 and amd64).

These packages are a remarkable break, as they have totally and
ruthlessly been revamped. The whole layout has actually changed;
here are the most important things to keep in mind when using them:

* pacemaker-openais and pacemaker-heartbeat are gone; pacemaker now
only comes in one flavour, having support for corosync and heartbeat
built it. This is based on pacemaker's capability to detect by which
messaging framework it has been started and act accordingly.

* openais is gone. pacemaker 1.0.6 uses corosync.

* the new layout allows flawless updates. if you have heartbeat
2.1.4 and do a dist-upgrade, you will automatically get pacemaker.
all you need to do afterwards is converting the xml-file to work
with pacemaker -- you can then start heartbeat, and things are
going to be fine (more on this can be found in the Clusterlabs-
Wiki)

* Now that we finally have a decent layout for pacemaker, we can
easily provide gui packages: welcome pacemaker-mgmt, being in good
condition and shape now, allowing you do administer your cluster
via a GTK tool.

The new packages can as always be found on:
