Package: sx Version: 2.0+ds-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
A new upstream version is available: SX-2.2. See http://blog.skylable.com/2016/09/sx-2-2-release/ SX 2.2 supports upgrading from both 2.1 and 2.0 (the version in Debian). Changes concerning packaging since 2.0: * 2.0 -> 2.1: sxdump was dropped (it is distributed on PyPI now), SX no longer depends on python * 2.0 -> 2.1 soname bump: libsxclient3->libsxclient4 * you will probably need to add a systemd unit file due to systemd-231 [1], the one from Fedora can serve as a starting point: https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/skylable-sx.git/tree/sx-nginx.service https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/skylable-sx.git/tree/sxserver.service https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/skylable-sx.git/tree/sxserver.patch * For OpenSSL 1.1.0 support there are patches available in upstream git, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=828564 Please update the package in Debian, and please update the Github mirror too: https://github.com/sx-mirror/sx/commits/master shows 'May 12' as last commit, but our repository has 'Oct 4' as last commit: https://gitweb.skylable.com/gitweb/?p=sx.git;a=summary Changes concerning users (from the upstream NEWS file): 2.2 --- Skylable SX 2.2 is primarly aimed at improving the performance of the cluster. The most notable areas of improvement are: * core: - Perform background propagation of replicas above 1 (the old behaviour is now available with --replica-wait option) - Improve calculation, index usage and maintain cache of frequently computed values * sxfs: - Enable caching of smaller objects for improved latency * garbage-collector: - Improve file deletion and block reservation * sxsetup: - New option --check to perform automatic data integrity check of the local storage 2.1 --- Skylable SX 2.1 brings various new features and improvements, including: * Support for changing replica count with 'sxvol modify -r' * Support for renaming volumes with 'sxvol rename' * Support for a local cache in sxfs * Single command to change the IP address(es) of the node ('sxsetup --new-ip') * Better performance and more fair scheduling of internal events * Improved IPv6 support * Other bugfixes and improvements [1] systemd (231-1) unstable; urgency=low This version drops support for running /etc/rcS.d SysV init scripts. These are prone to cause dependency loops, and almost all Debian packages with rcS scripts now ship a native systemd service. If you have custom or third-party rcS scripts you need to convert them; see this page for details: <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/pkg-systemd/rcSMigration>. -- Martin Pitt <mp...@debian.org> Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:54:34 +0200 -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages sx depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii libcurl3 7.38.0-4+deb8u4 ii libfcgi0ldbl 2.4.0-8.3 ii libfuse2 2.9.3-15+deb8u2 ii libltdl7 2.4.2-1.11+b1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.8.7.1-1+deb8u2 ii libssl1.0.2 1.0.2j-1 ii libsxclient3 2.0+ds-2 ii libyajl2 2.1.0-2 ii logrotate 3.8.7-1+b1 ii nginx 1.9.10-1~bpo8+3 ii nginx-full [nginx] 1.9.10-1~bpo8+3 ii openssl 1.0.2j-1~bpo8+1 pn python:any <none> ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 sx recommends no packages. sx suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded
