SME Server 7.0Alpha6 has been released for testing purposes.
My goodness you keep a close watch on things!
New version might take a while to percolate out to the
various mirrors.
I've included support for download using a zsync client.
zsync works like rsync, but puts much less load on the
server. More info on zsync here:
http://zsync.moria.org.uk/I've added linux zsync RPMs in the devel/RPMS directory.
Please test and report any issues.
New version is the first one built using the RHEL/CentOS installer. That should improve hardware detection and compatibility.
It's a very minimal modification of the CentOS version, so
there are bound to be some rough edges.
Autodetection of upgradable systems isn't there yet - you'll
need to choose "install" or "upgrade" from the boot prompt.
Don't run this on a production server, and don't type in the
wrong string!
This version features an experimental feature for single disk
installs - it sets up the partitions as RAID1 (but with one
disk per set). That should make it easier for someone to work
out how to migrate from a single disk install to two disk
install. Shad Lords' already had a little look at the problem.
Thanks to some great testing and research from Roger Buck
there's a new netatalk package and configuration (which can't
work any worse than the last one!).
I've substantially reworked mysql initialisation/backup/restore. Instead of over 700 lines of
perl, there's less than 20 lines of shell script (although
some of the perl does remain in a few templated files). I've
also fixed/worked around the problems with supervising mysql.
Many of the reported bugs in earlier versions have been
fixed, and I've rolled in work Gordon Rowell has been doing
on the email configuration panel.
Upgrades from 6.x might now work. Please, please don't test
on a production server.
