      Well, except helping with the code,
      Where is the donation button?:)

      -Edit - I found it, thought there isn’t any.

            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.

              FOG SVN Log: [url]http://freeghost.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeghost/trunk/?view=log[/url]

              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!

                      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.

                            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

                                [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]

                                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 🙂

                                      Greetings!

                                      First things first, my many thanks for all the awesomeness you have pumped into FOG! It is leaps and bounds above Symantec’s Ghost Solution Suite!

                                      My second question is: with all the changes to the code base, will there be an upgrade path from .32? Just trying to plan ahead for either a migration or a clean install.

                                      I will not ask about when .33 will be out. I think we all know (or we should all know) about how real work trumps project work.

                                      As far as donations go, is there a way to donate equipment or is cash the preferred method?

                                      Thanks again!!!
                                      -Tim

                                        I’ll second the offer for equipment donation. Of course the approval process here has certain requirements, but if it is something that you might be interested in, let us know. I’d be happy to see if we can get a spare machine to you.

                                          This for me is the biggest need right now. I have a lot! of workstations that have those drives in them that run windows xp but i need to get them updated to windows 7 before the end of this year. Granted this should have be done quite sometime ago but now it’s on me to get it done with FOG being my tool of choice it’s been pain point when someone need to re-image and whoops advanced format drive

                                          Fog 1.5.9 running currently on all servers

                                            The current version of FOG works with Windows 7 & advanced format drives as intended.

                                            Great question.

                                            There will be an upgrade path for all versions of FOG. Ive slowly been working on the schemaupdater so you can run it from any version and it will upgrade you to the latest.

                                            This being said, 0.33’s database structure is incompatible with 0.32. This means once you upgrade to 0.33, your data will be forever changed and will not be able to go back to 0.32.

                                            Thank you everyone for the offer of equipment. But, I’d rather pay my own way 🙂

                                            Last week i got all my penny’s together and upgraded. I got a nice baby Xeon E3-1230-V2, which should do the job nicely.
