ANNOUNCE: netcf-0.2.0

[Laine Stump]

After a very long wait, I'm happy to announce the release of netcf 0.2.0

The big news in this release is support for the following platforms:

debian/Ubuntu (Dan Berrange, Serge Hallyn)
  Suse          (Dan Berrange, still experimental)
  MS Windows    (Adam Stokes, partially complete)

Aside from this, another important improvement is support for libnl-3 (which has a slightly different API from libl-1) (Serge Hallyn, Thomas Graf)

There were also a few minor bugfixes.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release!

Tarball:https://fedorahosted.org/released/netcf/netcf-0.2.0.tar.gz
GPG signature[1]:
https://fedorahosted.org/released/netcf/netcf-0.2.0.tar.gz.sig

An RPM for Fedora Rawhide will be available "soon".

[1] To verify the signature, first download both the .sig file and the
corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:

gpg --verify netcf-0.2.0.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 62D11E4C

and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.

Thanks, Laine.  Sorry about my PATHSEPARATOR typo.  Apart from that, the
Debian package is coming out beautifully simple.  One question, though,
I notice that the tests/debian and tests/suse directories are not in the
release tarball, though they are in the git tree.  When I copy them back
in from the old package the tests pass, so no big deal, but I assume this
is done by the release scripts?

thanks,

Yeah, it should be but apparently was missed when the code was put in. I
didn't write the makefiles, so I can't pull the solution out of my hat
immediately, but I'll look around this evening and see if I can figure
it out.

Will you need a new release tarball, or will you just deal with it using
local patches? (A release is fairly simple to do once I'm in the proper
state of mind :-)

For now I've just pushed a quilt patch with the files, no biggie.  I can
wait a bit for a new release.
