It took a little longer than expected, but the latest 1.0 maintenance release (1.0.4) is finally available.
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 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: http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Install

Next 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.
Too install packages for Lenny or Sid (Etch should be available “soon”) see the following instructions:
- Add one of the following lines to
/etc/apt/sources.list` deb http://people.debian.org/~madkiss/ha lenny main deb http://people.debian.org/~madkiss/ha sid main ` - Retrieve the package metadata with:
apt-get update - Install either the OpenAIS or Heartbeat version:
apt-get install pacemaker-openais
or
apt-get install pacemaker-heartbeat
