Almost a week have passed before I got around to updating this but I’m proud to say that we have tagged 0.5_devel as of Aug 17th. On top of the improvements that made this release more stable than previous releases, a bunch of notable features have also been added:

• repoman - Repository management tool for Kusu
• repopatch - Patch management tool for Kusu
• Metakits support for kitops, boot-media-tool and buildkit
• driverpatch - Kernel/initrd patching tool for PXE boot images

Downloads will soon...

Our 4th release is finally ready and there’s been quite a few nifty features for this round. Building Kusu Kits is made easier by the buildkit tool (preview release and largely untested currently) and Kusu now fully supports RHEL5 and CentOS5. The partitiontool library now supports preservation mode and other improvements as well of a whole slew of bugfixes were made for this release.

Heya people,

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. As George have mentioned, there has been tremendous progress on Kusu. Alot of it is due to our rather strict adherence to the Agile Methodology. Using Scrum techniques and having supporting infrastructure such as fuss-free builds helps alot too. And talking about fuss-free builds, I would like to talk about the one tool, which Mike had trouble bootstrapping on Gentoo , that is essential for creating Kusu builds: the boot-media-tool...
