I'm happy to announce that Disco 0.2.3 has been released. It's
actually the largest single release this far, including fixes to many
known and new issues, and a bunch of cool new features.
Installing and running Disco is now much simpler, thanks to the new
disco.py control script. Installing Disco on a single server is now as
simple as
wget http://discoproject.org/disco-0.2.3.tar.gz
tar zxf disco-0.2.3.tar.gz
cd disco-0.2.3
make
bin/disco master start
assuming that python, lighttpd and erlang are already installed and
you can "ssh localhost" without password. To extend your cluster with
a new node, you should execute the first four steps above on the new
node followed by "disco worker start".
There are lots of other goodies included in 0.2.3 as well, like
console output of job events, required_files parameter, automatic
inference of module dependencies etc. As usual, you can find details
at http://discoproject.org/doc/releases.html.
