As it looks like blogging is now the preferred way of sharing your thoughts, I guess I'll have to answer in my own blog to the problems starting with
Thomas Hood post about withdrawing from the NM process.
Some people have replied to this and I think I should present my position, as I'm the most active of the unresponsive NM Front Desk, yaddayaddayadda.
Until Thomas blogged, I did not know that he considered the missing report as an issue.
To clear up the situation: Thomas completed all stages of the AM checks after he was reassigned to Alexander (formorer) this spring.
When Alex wanted to prepare the reported, he noted that some mails from the conversation between Madkiss (the old AM) and Thomas were missing. No problem, FD to the rescue, I still had those mails in my archive. After these initial problems, Alex' daytime job needed a lot of attention, so he didn't write the application report. I kicked him on a regular basis to do so, but it needs time and is not really very interesting, so it got delayed.
OK, that delay is not a good thing, but Alex told me that he planned to do the report on Saturday. Yes, this delay is quite annoying if you worked so hard and always had to wait for your AM to check your stuff and blabla. Now, the problem I have is that in this case, it's simply not true. Madkiss was assigned as AM to Thomas for 18 months - of these 18 months, 15 were spent waiting on a reply from Thomas to the usual NM questions.
Thomas, I can understand if you don't like the templates and think that they're boring, useless and whatever. But don't blame other people for time you have lost.
I'm happy to announce that cluster-glue 1.0.9+hg2665-1~bpo60+1 is available in the backports repository for Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 ("Squeeze"). I uploaded the backport-version right after the package got migrated from unstable to testing last night.
This version of cluster-glue fixes a nasty bug in the IPMI STONITH resource agent, so everybody is highly advised to update to this version to make sure that STONITH via IPMI works as expected.
