The latest installment of the Pacemaker 1.0 stable series is now ready for general consumption.

In this release, apart from various bug-fixes, Dejan has split the shell up into modules. It is anticipated that this will make it easier to maintain moving forward.

We are now following the published release schedule on the clusterlabs wiki. The next release is planned for mid-June and our main focus is now on features for 1.1/1.2 (see the previous post).

Pre-built packages for Pacemaker and it’s immediate dependancies are currently building and will be available for openSUSE, SLES, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS from the ClusterLabs Build Area shortly.

Debian users should check for updates Martin’s repo over the coming days and Ubuntu fans can visit LaunchPad for 8.04 and 9.10 packages.

The source tarball is also available directly from Mercurial.

General installation instructions are available at from the ClusterLabs wiki.
