Announcing the sixth release candidate for Pacemaker 1.1.10

This RC is a result of bugfixes in the policy engine, fencing daemon and crmd. Previous fixes in rc5 have also now been confirmed.

Help is specifically requested for testing plugin-based clusters, ACLs, the –ban and –clear commands, and admin actions (such as moving and stopping resources, calls to stonith_admin) which are hard to test in an automated manner.

There is one bug open for David’s remote nodes feature (involving managing services on non-cluster nodes), but everything else seems good.

Please keep the bug reports coming in!

To build rpm packages for testing:

  1. Clone the current sources:

    # git clone --depth 0 git://github.com/ClusterLabs/pacemaker.git
    # cd pacemaker
    
  2. Install dependancies (if you haven’t already)

    [Fedora] # sudo yum install -y yum-utils
    [ALL]	# make rpm-dep
    
  3. Build Pacemaker

    # make rc
    
  4. Copy and deploy as needed
