It’s been a while, but I’m almost ready to release Yaifo for OpenBSD 4.7. I have tested my updates with i386, amd64, macppc, and alpha. I consider those architectures “stable”. I know sgi and landisk aren’t working. I don’t have a sparc, so I can’t test that. I have to replace a disk in my sparc64, so I’ll test that when I can (I expect to have ramdisk space issues).

If you are able or are willing to test sgi, landisk, sparc, or sparc64, test reports and diffs are welcome.

The beta release can be downloaded from SourceForge.

I just committed an update to Yaifo CVS that makes i386, amd64, alpha, and macppc work with OpenBSD 4.6. To download, check out HEAD from CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@yaifo.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/yaifo co -P yaifo

I’m still testing and tweaking sgi and sparc64.

As I expected to get a bunch of emails about YAIFO for 4.6, I thought I could lessen that by posting here. I’ve been very busy lately and haven’t had time to merge in the new installer changes into Yaifo for OpenBSD 4.6. I’m hoping to have time to work on it shortly, but diffs are definitely welcomed.

Announcing YAIFO 4.5!

Yaifo 4.5 has several new features and a new architecture. You can download Yaifo 4.5 from SourceForge. Below is a summary of some of the changes in this release:

• Support for sgi added
• Add ‘get-files’ target to copy authorized_keys and ssh_host*_key files
• Add SNAPSHOT=yes|no to default to snapshots directory
• Add install target (requires REALLY=YES environment variable)
• Start adding landisk support – not complete

Announcing YAIFO 4.4!

There are no new features in Yaifo 4.4 besides bringing Yaifo in sync with OpenBSD 4.4. Thanks to Seth for helping me test and finding some problems.

You can download Yaifo 4.4 from SourceForge.
