FOG 0.33b Now Considered Release Candidate
-
While the labeling will remain the same (e.g. FOG 0.33b) Chuck, the Development Team – no particular order (BPSTravis, Lee Rowlett, Jaymes Driver, Junkhacker, Fernando Gietz, jbsclm, and myself) are re-releasing FOG 0.33b as a Release Candidate for the next version of FOG.
There is probably some more bugs, so I encourage all to please use and test. While it’s still not a full on release, we need more input from more sources, so We from the development team need some help and feedback from You, the community.
Thank you,

Can we call it 0.33rc1 instead of 0.33b, and can you tag the svn at the revision number we should be testing against? Thank you.
-
I’ve been looking for the download link but I’m unable to find one for the current 33b (rc1?) Maybe I’m asking a stupid question of where it is, or is it right in front of my nose?

There are a few ways to get this file.
First method is the preferred.
Thru subversion. You may need to install the package for your particular system:
[code]svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk fog_0.33b
cd fog_0.33b/bin
./installfog.sh[/code]The next is to download the tarball from my website:
[code] wget --no-check-certificate https://mastacontrola.com/fog_0.33b.tar.bz2
tar -xjf fog_0.33b.tar.bz2
cd fog_0.33b/bin
./installfog.sh[/code]The next method is to download from sourceforge as a zip. Change the number to the latest revision (if 1487 change the number after code- to 1487.
[code]wget http://sourceforge.net/code-snapshots/svn/f/fr/freeghost/code/freeghost-code-1473-trunk.zip
unzip freeghost-code-1473-trunk.zip
cd freeghost-code-1473-trunk/bin
./installfog.sh[/code]The next method is you can pull the git hub clone. You need to have the git package installed for your particular system:
[code]git clone https://github.com/mastacontrola/fogproject.git
cd fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh[/code]Hopefully this helps clarify how to download and install.

I think the announcement of 0,33b been considered a release candidate, should be put on the home page i.e [url=“http://www.fogproject.org”]www.fogproject.org[/url]. To reach the maximum amount of the community
-
There is a reason why we aren’t relabeling directly. I won’t push more than that right now, but there really is a viable reason.
-
Exciting times for longtime users of Fog. Can’t wait to try it out.
-
This is great news! It’s good to know FOG is still being developed. I just posted your news about the RC on Tech-Geeks.
I definitely want to get a new FOG server up in a sandbox. When it comes to fiddling with Linux commands, I consider myself a noob, but once I get the formula spelled out to me I can take it from there. I see Tom’s notes below (yes, I read the wiki!). I’ll will try them out soon. I plan to start with a clean Ubuntu 12.04 box. Thanks Chuck, and Team.SCott

[quote=“dOR1n, post: 26187, member: 19492”]I have a question can you do something like this small tutorial for kernel download and install? :)[/quote]
You can download kernels via the FOG UI, go to fog settings->kernel update and select a kernel to download.
[quote]
PS: (some1 need to make a tutorial from start to end "installing fog 0.33 or smth), and configuration is verry usefull for noobs or ppl who install for the 1st time)
Sorry for English![/quote]You mean like this?:
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=SVN[/url]After that it’s just following the prompts on the installer.

That page has the exact commands you will need to install FOG from Linux.
Nothing on Linux is a .exe file.The Kernels are installed automatically from the web UI using the kernel update page.
Then just set a host to use that kernel name under that hosts settings page

i really like .33. are there instructions for updating .32 fogservers to .33? (or .33b to .33?)
im building up a lot of images (consider that a compliment to a great project!) and i dont want to start over with a new server! hehe

Yes, the wiki is choked full of walkthroughs and guides that touch base on upgrading, installing, and general use of FOG. I don’t know why everyone feels that this is the front line for questions, but the Wiki is the BEST place to learn about fog and how to use it.
My FIRM recommendation is to back up your /images folder and database and start with a fresh install for 0.33
-
Yes, please just back up your required info and scrub out 0.32 . Your life will be easier I promise.

One, initial question. I was using the 33b version and just upgraded to the git version which was supposedly 33b but shows 1.0.0 on the pages and in the changelog. The change log states all images must be re-uploaded but does that pertain only to the 32 version or also to the 33b version?
Also, anywhere that might return zero hosts is throwing an error stating an issue with the foreach in getHostCount, first place I saw it was in the group management section and I assume it was because of the membership count column. Also when you edit a group without current members it throws an error at line 240 in GroupManagementPage.class.php and this is, again , caused by trying to use an undefined or empty value in a foreach. I fixed the issues by validating anything returned by calling ->get(‘hosts’) with is_array()

Rick the 0.33b is technically no more. We moved from the low versioning we’ve all been used to for some time to X.X.X versioning most softwares follow. The 1.0.0 you see is still the same just a different number is displayed. Also, I hope the array issues you were seeing are corrected now. I added a lot of checking to the system so all should be good on that side as we’ll. -

However, there have been a number of changes since 0.32 and we highly recommend a back up and fresh install.
