FOG 0.33 - What's coming?
-
Woo, first post in April on this thread
But, any news/updates that can be said about .33? -
[FONT=Tahoma] Hi fog [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]team Love the Project[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma] how close is 0.33 to being available, if u have in counted a bug in 0.33 that u are finding hard to iron out. Throw it out to the ever growing fog community. Maybe one of us can help. Thanks for all the hard work. [/FONT]

There has been some updates recently in the svn.
Hopefully when the time is right for the devs we will see an RC or beta for the ever growing community to test and feedback to nail any bugs -
Things have slowed down recently due to the fact that the devs have real jobs and FOG doesn’t pay the bills. But if anyone is interested in taking the time to pull from the SVN and do some initial bug testing, keeping in mind that it is NOT production ready, then feel free to post any bugs you find in the [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/bugs-in-fog-0-33.631/’]Bugs in FOG 0.33[/URL] thread. This isn’t really a beta or RC yet, but it’s getting close, and adventurous devs or sysadmins might be able to help move things along.

Well, except helping with the code,
Where is the donation button?:)-Edit - I found it, thought there isn’t any.

Any update to version 0.33?
-
Sadly due to my lack of free time, i have not been able to keep to the time schedule i wanted.
The code is close to completion. I have rewritten most of the Core code and I’m about 70% way through the Web UI code.
I have not posted as i do not want to promise a time schedule i cannot keep.
That being said, the latest code is available in our SVN repo. ([url]http://freeghost.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeghost/[/url])
If you would like to BETA test and [U][URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/bugs-in-fog-0-33.631/’]post BUG reports[/URL][/U] that would be most helpful.
[U]I would create a test VM for this as 0.33 performs database changes that makes it incompatible with the 0.32 code.[/U]

The SVN Log keeps track of all updates to the FOG code.
Since my last post there have been a lot of code updates.

Keep the bug reports coming

FOG is my favourite imaging tool, but I have to remember to make the base image an ext3 partition each time, so if you could make it support ext4, it will be super helpful!!!
Thanks!

check the changelogs, I know that ex4 is in the works. -
ext4 should work in the latest SVN

I updated the kernel to 3.3.3, and my Ubuntu 12 computer has 3 primary partitions, two ext4, one swap, when I upload the image, it recognize the ext4 partitions as ext3fs, and then skip uploading, only 934 were bytes saved on the server, but it uploaded the swap partition just fine. why is that?

Because the old version of the file system tools (in the boot image) do not support ext4. This has been fixed in 0.33.

then is 0.33 already released? where can I download it?

it is not released, a beta version is though. I encourage you to install it on a test machine or in virtualbox maybe and provide feedback in the dev forums

Any plans to integrate any of the patches posted in sourceforge?
-
[quote=“Blackout, post: 1084, member: 1”]A quick update, it was decided to release FOG 0.33 at the end of February.
Hopefully there will be an RC released soon for testing.[/quote]Hi;
Just wanted to ask if there could be another update on the state of .33. Thanks!

Most of the core basic functions work (imaging etc) for all O/Ses with the exception of NTFS Re-sizable partitions.With the latest updates (about a week ago, all in init.gz) these options work as intended, but there are still some bugs to work out with advanced format drives.
Right now I’m doing a lot of testing to get it all working - this eats up a lot of time waiting for Windows in VM on my slow ass workstation
Various GUIs need their POST save functions ported from the old code. i.e. FOG Configuration page
I’ve devoted today to FOG dev, we will see what happens

We appreciate all the work you do!
