Hi,

MirrorBrain 2.10.2 has been released, and has now been packaged and
tested on Ubuntu 9.04: http://mirrorbrain.org/docs/installation/debian/
Credits to David Farning and his team, who made this possible!

This release also fixes a bug in the mirror scanner, which could lead,
under certain conditions, to accidental removal of files from the
database when doing a subdirectory scan, as well as two other minor
bugs.

For complete details, please refer to the 2.10.2 release notes:

Peter

Hi,

[ In fact, this release followed the previous release, 2.10.0, by only a
few days, and thus has been available since 9th of September. Due to
lack of time it wasn't formally announced earlier. Apologies. ]


MirrorBrain 2.10.1 came with the following changes, all of which have to
do with the metalink hash cache:

* The metalink hash cache was revised again, after it was found that
some filesystems do not guarantee stable inode numbers.

* To avoid expensive regeneration of hashes, previously existing hash
files are automatically migrated to the new scheme.

* As a new feature, the metalink-hasher can now easily be run in
parallel on large file trees, since it uses per-directory locking to
make sure that two jobs won't work on the same files.


For more details, please refer to the 2.10.1 release notes:

Peter
