[BlueOnyx:15661] BlueOnyx 5207R/5208R Beta release available

[Michael Stauber]

Hi all,

Team BlueOnyx is proud to announce that the immediate BETA-release of
BlueOnyx 5207R (32-bit) and BlueOnyx 5208R (64-bit) with the new Chorizo
GUI.

ISO images and OS templates can be found in the download section on the
www.blueonyx.it webpage:

We encourage you to test out the new BlueOnyx versions and to use the
built in "Bugreport" feature (under "Software Updates" / "Support") to
report any problems that you may encounter.

BlueOnyx 5207R and 5208R are already in productive usage on several
important servers of our own and have been since the late Alpha stage.
So far the most critical bugs are gone, but there are always some things
that are hard to spot as usage cases and scenarios differ.

It is possible to upgrade an existing BlueOnyx 5107R or 5108R to the new
GUI. The mechanism for that involves just installing the new
"blueonyx-yumconf" RPM, doing a "yum update" and running the script
/usr/sausalito/sbin/SSL_fixer.pl as root from SSH.

However: If you have any third party software (from the BlueOnyx Shop,
Solarspeed Shop or Compass Networks Shop) installed on your BlueOnyx,
then you should *not* yet perform such an upgrade. Please wait until we
have released updated versions of the PKGs that are ready for BlueOnyx
5207R and BlueOnyx 5208R. Otherwise you will loose the GUI pages for
managing the third party software until the time that updated PKGs for
the third party software become available.

Please let us know what you think about the new BlueOnyx GUI interface
and post your impressions on the BlueOnyx mailing list.
