[BlueOnyx:15819] Re: BlueOnyx 5207R/5208R released

[Dirk Estenfeld]

Michael,

I would not prefer to get this update as mandatory update.

As Michael Aronoff wrote AV-Spam is not available yet for 520xR
And we definitely need it until we can switch to 520xR.

So I see two possible procedures.
Either to delay the mandatory switch to 10.01.2015 to get all things done before.
Or let 510xR at it is and offer the update as an optional update. And everybody who is still using 510xR know that he will not get any updates or support for the 510xR version.

Best regards,
Dirk

Betreff: [BlueOnyx:15816] BlueOnyx 5207R/5208R released

Hi all,

The bug reports of the early adopters have petered off and more and more
people are starting to use BlueOnyx 5207R or 5208R in productive
environments.

Hence we just released the first production ready ISO images and OS
templates for BlueOnyx 5207R and 5208R and dropped the BETA tag from it.

The ISO images can be found at the downloads page:

http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=downloads

Updated OS templates of BlueOnyx 5207R and 5208R have also been
published. If you're using Aventruin{e}, then you should see them when
you use "yum search ostemplate".

There is more:
==============

After a grace period I would like to discontinue 5107R and 5108R
entirely by publishing an update via YUM that upgrades them to 5207R and
5208R respectively.

These upgrades via YUM work pretty well and generally there is little
that speaks against it. It's just the GUI that gets replaced with the
newer one. But I'll listen to contrary points of view.

The date I'm oogling for this mandatory update is 1st October 2014.

The reason is that right now we're maintaining/developing six different
versions of BlueOnyx plus two versions of Aventurin{e}. Count in
availability on CentOS and/or SL, ISOs and OS templates and we're
somehow talking about 23 different installation medias that need to be
provided and/or updated from time to time. As much as that is automated,
at the end of the day each of these install mediums needs testing before
a release.

Taking 5107R and 5108R "out of play" reduces that number to four
supported versions of BlueOnyx and 13 different forms of installation
media. Which makes it a hell of a lot more manageable for us.

Any objections to this?
