As we go forward, we are going to continue to support the installed RH9 and Debian=20 sites and encourage new installs to be one of Fedora Core2, Debian or Suse9.1.=20 Roughly speaking, the plan is:=20 A. On a Fedora Core 2 distribution and based on a Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22 + RH patches)=20 kernel, roll a 1.1 development release using a development branch OpenSSI;=20 I hope we can do this in the next week or so.=20 B. Roll that same release for existing RH9 (upgrade in place);=20 testing effort; should be shortly after A.=20 C. Roll the 1.1 for Debian=20 testing effort; should be shortly after A.=20 D. Roll the 1.1 for Suse 9.1=20 hopefully before the end of October=20 E. As we stablize 1.1, it will become 1.2 and will be the stable release (for all above distributions).=20 Expect this to be sometime in November;=20 F. Full 2.6-based OpenSSI (on a Fedora Core 3 distribution)=20 Expect an initial alpha version within a couple of months;=20 G. Cleanup version of the kernel hooks for submission to the mainstream kernel is ongoing=20 and may be completed by the end of 2004.=20 Infiniband support will be integrated as soon as it is ready. GFS/CLVM and DRBD=20 support will be added after we have a 2.6-based OpenSSI.=20 Bruce Walker=20 OpenSSI Project Lead=20 |

Hi, I'm curious about the roadmap of particular projects listed on openssi.org, too. I asked a while ago about them but never got a reply: - Port to ia64 [John Byrne] - Checkpoint/restart of processes [Laura Ramirez] So far the roadmap focuses on ia32...?
