Hi folks,
I've made a new release of func and certmaster. This fixes a lot of
bugs from the 0.27 releases and adds a few new options/features.

Some of you will be happy to know I added actual git tags this time! :)

There are a lot of new func-commands in this release, some of them are
going to help a lot of folks use func more easily.

in many cases they are.... underdocumented so I encourage folks to play
with them and PLEASE submit docs/faqs/etc.

Also please ask questions and we'll try to answer them as much as
possible.

Significant fixes/Changes:
- working properly with python 2.7+ :)
- new cpu module
- new yumcmd module
- func-command, func-find-user, func-down-hosts, func-list-vms-per-host,
func-ps-compare, func-whatsmyname, func-yum
- fix hostname finding
- add 'allow_unknown_minions' option to overlord - let's us have minions
we don't have the certs available for locally but we know the host
exists. Func will attempt to make the connection based on just resolving
the name. If it resolves and the cert the host offers is signed by our
Certmaster/CA then it will continue as normal.
- getfile module added (opposite of putfile with sensible directory
ideas)
- lots of fixes to the grouping code with puppetminions
- when we create dirs for our command dbs on the overlord side, don't
assume everyone is global and root - behave when run as a user.

I'd like to thank Greg Swift for starting to contribute to the code
recently and seriously helping to motivate me to understand the
delegation code better. :)


Thanks,

Hi folks,
I've made a new release of func and certmaster.
awesomeness!

As an addendum to Seth's announce I'd like to remind everyone that
certmaster does not work on RHEL5 and its derivatives without a patch to
pyOpenSSL. There is an active bugzilla and RFE filed with Red Hat, and it
looks like the RHEL 5.7 pyOpenSSL release will include the patch. This is
the same issue we had with the 0.27 release, and has been discussed before.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637398
http://www.redhat.com/archives/func-list/2011-March/msg00045.html

However... for those of you that have gotten past that point, and want some
packages, I'll be building them tonight and posting them to my site for
public consumption until RHEL 5.7 comes around.

For you RHEL4 lovers out there... I'm working on the patch set. Its a bit
of a pain, but mainly from tediousness. Help is very welcome :)

they'll work their way into EPEL's updates-testing soonish. For RHEL 5 and
6 even. thats better anyways :)

I messed up in the creation of the tarballs. So I had to redo them.

If you've downloaded them before getting this email, download them
again.

the checksums are updated, too.

sorry
