Dear list,
Last week we released Beaker 0.9.0. This release features a new lab
controller daemon, beaker-provision, to replace Cobbler. It brings
better performance, stability, and memory efficiency, especially in
large labs.
For most sites upgrading should be as simple as disabling cobblerd and
enabling beaker-provision, along with the usual upgrade steps. However
if you are relying on any Cobbler features directly, please read this
migration document as additional action may be required:
http://beaker-project.org/cobbler-migration.html
If you are using Cobbler to manage non-Beaker systems then you can
continue to do so as before; the new beaker-provision daemon can
co-exist with cobblerd.
Beaker 0.9.0 also includes a number of other minor bug fixes. Refer to
the release archive for full details:
http://beaker-project.org/releases/
As you may have noticed, to coincide with this release Beaker has
a brand new, fully revamped web site located at
http://beaker-project.org/
We hope that this new web site will make it easier to find Beaker
documentation and to keep up to date on the latest releases. Feedback
and contributions to the new web site are very welcome (preferably in
the form of patches). The source for the web site is available in git:
http://git.beaker-project.org/cgit/beaker-project.org/
In the near future we will phase out Beaker's existing web resources at
Fedora Hosted and
fedorapeople.org in favour of this new web site.
