2011-03-12 Project pb version 0.11.2 is now available
The project team is happy to announce the availability of a newest version of pb 0.11.2. Enjoy it as usual!
So as promised (or threatened) here is the small update I wanted to make just before using pb for a training next week. Finally some small annoying bugs have been resolved now (in particular around repo management), and nearly the whole spectrum of features has been extensively tested, so that version should be a good one to use for long. Docs is also up to date, in particular Lab, pres and man pages from the Web site.

The project team is happy to announce the availability of a newest version of pb 0.11.1. Enjoy it as usual!
Major changes in this version which again requires an update of VM/VE/RM embedded pb to work correctly (use setupvm|ve|rm for that), including:
- Add support of Remote Machines: pb can now be used in a build farm context very easily
- Bug fixes: #83, #86, #87, parallelism build issues, additional sources and patch support, ebuild generation
- Improved security with sudo restrictions
- Improved internal structure management with introduction of $pbos (Thanks to Fosdem conf !)
Now available at ftp://ftp.project-builder.org
As usual source packages are also available in the same directory.
Changes are :
PB CHANGES- NOTE: This version requires 0.11.1 in both host and guests so the whole processes work correctly. (Bruno Cornec)
- Fix #87 - correct pbsrc management. This requires to update pb in the VM|RM|VE in order to work correctly (Nicolas Doualot/Bruno Cornec)
- Fix #86 - error in hash test sources should be used and not patches (Nicolas Doualot)
- Improve tmout management which is optional and now handled and documented as such using pb_distro_get_param (Bruno Cornec)
- rmntpcmd, vmhost, vmmem, vmntpcmd and vmsize have OS keys and not project keys. Fixed in doc and code. (Bruno Cornec)
- pb_date2v needs the pbos as param to deal with *ntpcmd correctly. $v param removed as a consequence. (Bruno Cornec)
- Fix #83. rmntp is indeed optional. But rmntpcmd is mandatory as used to be placed at setup time in the sudoers file in order to allow its usage by root when needed from the build account (Bruno Cornec)
- Packages installed are now using really the install command not the update one. (Bruno Cornec)
- The repo key for pb now uses the delivery level (mandatory for gentoo) (Bruno Cornec)
- Fix pb_get_filters to also support filter based on os name and os-ver-arch as well to be coherent, and also fix bugs in the tests made for filter exitence. (Bruno Cornec)
- Fix pb_changelog with test for correct pb hash values which were changed previously (Bruno Cornec)
- Revert back using no arch subdir for deb based repo (Bruno Cornec)
- Introduce new parameter oscmdpath to support external commands full path name easier (could also be very useful for MondoRescue) (Bruno Cornec)

- Fix a parallelism issue when building in VMs. (Bruno Cornec)
- Fix pb for patches and additional sources support in parallel mode which was previously broken. (Bruno Cornec)
- Avoids a unicity issue when in parallel mode in pb_filter_file_inplace, by generating a unique temp file. (Bruno Cornec)
- Allow pb_filter_file to manage undefined filter hash (Bruno Cornec)
- Use some full path names for commands to improve security with sudo (for RM). (Bruno Cornec)
- Adds support for RM (Remote Machines) in addition to VE/VM (Bruno Cornec)

- Add full path names on sudo commands now that a precise usage is done with sudo + other related fixes. (Bruno Cornec)
