Hey folks,

It was a long, long time since the last entry in this blog. There was simply to much to do in our reallives (studies,
military, job,....).
Now flo and I are on 24C3 and have the time to do some serious working on SysCP.

The first thing we want to introduce you is our new buildservice. We automatically create debianpackages and tarballs out of the svn, labeld with version and revision. This should enable you to test SVN-versions without breaking apt or messing around with svn ;)

Upgrading from stable to testing and (after release of the next stable version) back to stable should work smoothless, since the upgrading is done inside SysCP itself. Sorry people, but downgrading the database is not (yet?) possible automatically, you need to figure this out on our own.

You may find the packages on http://snapshots.syscp.org, if you want to insert these into your apt.sources you could use http://debian.snapshots.syscp.org. We build the packages for sarge and etch currently, but we are changing the buildscript whenever we test a system and see how it works.
Please note: These packages are testing and should be stable, but they can crash your whole system, too ;)

flo and I are sitting most time in the hackcenter nearby the coffeepott, you are welcome to join us for a chat or two.

So long,
EleRas
