[ANNOUNCE] Apache Deltacloud 0.4.1 (incubating)

I am pleased to announce the availability of Apache Deltacloud 0.4.1.

Apache Deltacloud is a RESTful cloud abstraction API. The release
consists both of the API server and a Ruby client.

The release can be found at
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/deltacloud/0.4.1/ Gems and RPM's
for Fedora will become available shortly.

Many thanks to all those who contributed patches, reported bugs, and
asked for features. It's great to see that the list of committers and
patch contributors is steadily increasing.

Overview of the changes for this release:

  * change how dependencies are managed: canonical deps are now in the
    gemspecs

Server:
  * clarify how user_data injection should work; make sure all drivers
    accept base64 encoded data and make the decoded version available to
    instance
  * fix URL generation so that server works when run behind a reverse proxy
  * init script: honor defaults from sysconfig file
  * init script: fix 'status', properly background deltacloudd
  * deltacloudd: support verbose option
  * Drivers:
    + Condor
      - use UUIDTools instead of UUID to simplify deps
    + Google
      - new driver for Google storage API
    + RHEV-M
      - treat status as case-insensitive
      - inject data through a virtual floppy rather than modifying
        the instance storage directly
    + vSphere
      - report minimum of max memory across all hosts in a data center, so
        that instances can be placed on any host
      - user_data is placed in file 'deltacloud-user-data.txt'

Client:
  * fix parsing of enums in HWP properties
  * fix handling of float value for number of vCPU in HWP

Hi Christian,

thanks for your comments - you're right, the website is pretty
under-updated recently. We've finished a tidying up of the website
content - clearer download/setup instructions, more info for developers
etc but have been holding off on deploying the updated site content
specifically waiting for release 4.0.1. Mainly because the updated site
documents the 'easy' installation of deltacloud using rubygems (i.e. gem
install deltacloud-core) - and this only works because of the updated
.gemfile dependencies in release 4.0.1. (basically, the gemfile outlines
all 'runtime' gems - especially the ones that deltacloud uses to talk to
the cloud providers like aws).

I just checked rubygems.org and we haven't yet pushed the updated
deltacloud-core gem (4.0.1); this should happen in the next few
hours/day. Once that is done I will also deploy the updated site content.

One the new gem is pushed to rubygems.org, you'll be able to get the
latest release by:

  gem install deltacloud-core

For now, you can get the release at the
www.apache.org/dist/incubator/deltacloud/0.4.1/ - I take your point
about the mirroring system.

If you have the time/interest, you can use the git mirror to get the
sources+build the latest:

mkdir DeltacloudProject; cd DeltacloudProject
git clone git://git.apache.org/deltacloud.git
cd ./deltacloud/server
rake package
sudo gem install ./pkg/deltacloud-core-0.4.1.gem

We also have a github page which mirrors the apache repo at
https://github.com/apache/deltacloud if you prefer github.

As I say, the 4.0.1 will be deployed to rubygems very soon - once that
happens 'gem install deltacloud-core' will give you the latest release
and all its dependencies,

all the best, marios

It's normally best to wait 24 hours or so after posting files to allow
mirrors to catch up.

Somebody has to when we don't pick the nits; after all, who wants lice ?

We are changing the 'News' box to be feed from @deltacloud on twitter,
so this should become much more up-to-date and relevant.

Btw, the homepage says "Deltacloud 0.3.0 is now available, including
support for IBM SBC and Eucalyptus" in News :-)

Yeah, I think we need to tweak the stylesheet. The 'Additional Tools'
header doesn't stand out enough, and doesn't make it clear that this is
additional stuff, only related to, and not part of, the Apache project.

Yes, this was a case of the mail servers being way faster than the

Sorry, that was an oversight on my part. I'll replace the links with
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/deltacloud/ in the
future.

The very first link ("Official releases can be downloaded from the

http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/deltacloud/ Do you see a different

The very first link ("Official releases can be downloaded from the
Apache website") on that page goes to
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/deltacloud/ Do you see a different
version of the page ?

David,

congratulations to the new release.

Just a comment.... I cannot see the new release on the website:
http://incubator.apache.org/deltacloud/
Should't it be updated together with the release?

Then I think it is not very good to send the /dist folder link around,
because to my knowledge it is bypassing the mirror system. Instead we
usually use some kind of download page generator.

At your website:
http://incubator.apache.org/deltacloud/download.html
I read nothing of how to get the release. Instead I am send to
fedorahost for the code.

Cheers
Christian

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Deltacloud 0.4.1 (incubating)

Posted by Christian Grobmeier <gr...@gmail.com>.
David,

congratulations to the new release.

Just a comment.... I cannot see the new release on the website:
http://incubator.apache.org/deltacloud/
Should't it be updated together with the release?

Then I think it is not very good to send the /dist folder link around,
because to my knowledge it is bypassing the mirror system. Instead we
usually use some kind of download page generator.

At your website:
http://incubator.apache.org/deltacloud/download.html
I read nothing of how to get the release. Instead I am send to
fedorahost for the code.

Cheers
Christian
