[libvirt-users] ANNOUNCE: oz 0.8.0 release

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.
