Arusha Project release 20040526

[Will P. <pa...@dc...>]

I have just done a full release of all the public Arusha
Project stuff (teams: ARK, arksf1, glasli1, sample1, sidai,
simple1, verilab2).  The release notes are below.  Wander to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ark for the bits.

In case you've forgotten: the Arusha Project (ARK) provides
a framework for collaborative system administration of
multi-platform Unix sites with many dozens of machines.

Between October and now, there has been normal-ish ongoing
and undramatic progress.  The main impending change is from
the GNU Public License (GPL) to the standard BSD license;
this is the last [planned] release under the GPL.  I have
been unable to think of anyone who will be adversely
affected by this change.

If any of you need help exploring or thinking about Arusha
Project stuff, or have "it would be great if..." ideas,
please speak up or get in touch.

== release notes =======================================

This is the last version of the core teams' code licensed
under the GPL; the next and subsequent versions (soon?) will
be under the BSD license.

In the Sidai code, we have the first code to manipulate ARK
state events (event-utils/lsevents); the 'sync-replica' tool
can now use rdiff-backup as well as rsync; we have new
packages to install Mozilla and Eclipse binaries, and for
Subversion and (retro-tool...)  DVIutils from source; plus
many small enhancements.

In the Verilab2 code, we have sample CUPS support.
