Well, its been a month. I figured its about time to push out another iFolder appliance with the latest and greatest. The change log information since the last release on the iFolder Release Stuff page. There are only two changes in the appliance: The latest packages of ifolder and I changed the version of the 64bit images to match the 32ibt images.
Links:
32 bit:
vmware /Â disk image /Â Live image /Â xen image
64 bit:
vmware /Â disk image /Â Live image
Some great news was just announced! The openSUSE project opened its Factory repo up to anyone in the community that would like to directly help maintain, support, and/or contribute to the core distribution. For those that don’t know what Factory is it is the next release of openSUSE. So, the current Factory will become openSUSE 11.2. You can read all about this great news over at http://news.opensuse.org.
To a more open and community oriented future…
Well, the packages finally built and I was finally able to build a new appliance. So, the changes:
I’ve added the iscsi packages to the images. This includes the yast packages making it really easy to add external storage through iscsi.
Updated mono core to be 2.4.2 preview 1.
Updated ifolder packages which made our patches obsolete and closer to just working with the next version of mono (2.4.2). I’m not sure what all of the updates were to be honest.
I’ve also generated more formats of images and archs (huge thanks to Nat on the suse studio team)
As a disclaimer I haven’t really tested these much more than the default setup, my scripts in /root/iFolder, and logging in. Please let me know if there is anything you want to see changed, added, or fixed!
So, without further delay here is the list of images. I did exclude the xen image, but if you would like it please just drop me a comment or email.
32 bit:
vmware (works in VirtualBox just fine)
Live image – Let me know how this works out if you try it 
64 bit:
vmware (works in VirtualBox just fine)
Live image – same deal as the 32bit live
One of the guys that I work with sent me this link. Its a really good presentation that GKH gave at Google Tech Talks. For those that don’t know who GKH is, he is a Novell employee that started the Linux Driver Project. There were some really cool stats about the kernel and its development in there. For example, on a per day basis there are 4,300 lines added, 1,800 lines removed, and 1,500 lines modified on the stable kernel (2007 – 2008). You have to watch to see the rest.
