All,
I'm pleased to announce release 0.8.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for
doing automated installation of guest operating systems with limited
input from the user.
Release 0.8.0 is a (long overdue) bugfix and feature release for
Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.7.0 and 0.8.0 are:
- Optional virtualenv make target
- Conversion of unittests to py.test
- Replace mkisofs with genisoimage
- Debian package
- Ability to change the root password for Debian installs
- Add unittests for ozutil
- Add some unittests for the Guest object
- SSH tunnel (with SSL vhost) support for local repositories
(mostly useful for imagefactory)
- Add a new manpage for oz-examples
- Make the output filename configurable with a command-line
option to oz-install
- Monitor both network and disk activity when looking for guest activity
- Support for installing Ubuntu 11.10
- Support for SSL certificates for repositories
- Support for an optional version in the TDL
- Support for installling Mandrake 9.1, 9.2, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2
- Support for installing Mandriva 2006.0, 2007.0, 2008.0
- Support for Ubuntu customization
- Support for installing RHEL 6.2
A tarball of this release is available, as well as packages for
Fedora-16. Instructions on how to get and use Oz are available at
http://aeolusproject.org/oz.html
If you have any questions or comments about Oz, please feel free
to contact aeolus-devel(a)lists.fedorahosted.org or me
(clalancette(a)gmail.com) directly.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release through bug
reports, patches, and suggestions for improvement.

I found Fedora _15_ rpms on fedorapeople which installed fine on F16.
There seems to be some issue with error timeouts on this version.
I first tried to create an image without enough free space:
oz-install -t 50000 -u -d3 -x blah.xml /var/lib/pacemaker-cloud/jeos/F16-x86_64-jeos.tdl
This hung at "cleaning up" phase _forever_. strace says hung at:
sendto(14, "var/lib/oz/isocontent/F16-x86_64"..., 1585278, 0, NULL, 0^C
<unfinished ...>
Ctrl-c unlocked after which got:
94.60% done, estimate finish Fri Jan 13 18:52:46 2012
genisoimage: No space left on device. cannot fwrite 32768*1
So after freeing up enough space I tried again and got farther.
However this also hung forever at the "Unmounting all" stage.
This only happens if "customizing image", and only with SELinux on.
strace says: recvfrom(14,...
Anyway apart from the SELinux issue, I got out of the infinite wait with
Ctrl-C and it then proceeded to timeout as expected.
File "/usr/bin/oz-install", line 162, in <module>
guest.customize(libvirt_xml)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oz/RedHat.py", line 1169, in

Ug, yes. I'll send an updated patch to the website.

Yeah, sorry, that was a typo on my part; I only built F-15 packages this time.

Hm, probable SELinux problem. I hadn't seen that, but I'll try it out
and see what happens.
Thanks for trying,

Pádraig,
Interestingly enough, things work just fine for me in F-15, but I
run into problems on F-16 like you did. I'm tempted to call it a
libvirt bug in F-16, but I'm not entirely certain of that. I'll see
if I can find sometime this weekend to narrow it down a bit.
Thanks,
Chris
