RC1 available

[Philip Papadopoulos]

This one should be pretty close to final in terms of functionality.

I've noted at least 1 bug in this

       1. sgemaster not starting correctly (easy fix is to restart it on first login)

        

Things that have been added/fixed since RC0

         - rocks sync users --- now uses serf (part of the base roll) to send

                                            a 411 alert. It also speeds up this command considerably

         - a very very simple homepage is no written out for your cluster.  A command

                   gen-home-page can called at anytime to write out the generated 

                   html to standard out.

          - installation/restore roll documentation is written as a first pass

          - cleaned up rpm provides for the foundation-mysql rpm.

          - zfs updated to 0.7.3

          - htcondor updated to 8.6.8

As usual, isos are on http://beta7.rocksclusters.org/isos

Dear Philip (et all).

I've got a bug during the instalation based on the last iso files dated from 28th de november. I try it three time, and every time o got this error in anaconda ( excerpt of anaconda.log file):

../..

At first time i select all of the roll i will use. During the last try, i just select theses following roles: base, Centos, core, kernel and Update Centos.

The compute i use to install is the same that could install the rocks7 before. So i be sure that's not a material problem..

Thanks for your work!

are you possibly running out of disk space?

you might look in /tmp

at log files to see what may be happening. 

The version you have isn't giving others this kind of issue.  From the traceback, it looks like creating the distro is failing.

(How much RAM memory?)

Dear Philip

I have to check out some details before answer you. You're right in part about the memory size. I increase the size to 8 Gb, and the process could follow.
Now, i detect that the instalaler don't check if the rolls are completly download. When i try to download from rockscluster.org, i have some error issue about failing rpms files. If i download from a special local web server, i don't ahve this issues.

That's not a pain as i can install this web server ad -hoc. But maybe no all people could do like this. And maybe should the installer have some verification tools?

Regards
