Subject: [Machinery] New release: Machinery 1.12.0
Message-ID: <8382872.eM31ydibvq@endurance>

Hi all,

we are happy to announce a new release of Machinery.

The most significant change is that it speeds up the inspection of unmanaged 
files quite a bit. This is due to the use of a new method of gathering data on 
the inspected machine using a helper binary.

The fast inspection is only used for a subset of use cases right now. We are 
working on enabling the others as well.

Complete change log:

## Version 1.12.0 - Fri Sep 04 16:51:10 CEST 2015 - cschum at suse.de

* The x86_64 machinery-helper is now shipped with machinery. It speeds up
  inspection of unmanaged-files when the files are not extracted
* Fix for unmanaged-file inspector to not mark directories as unmanaged if 
they only consist managed sub directories

You can get the new packages for openSUSE from our home page at 
http://machinery-project.org or you simply run `zypper up machinery` on your 
local system.

If you have feedback, please let us know.

Your Machinery team

Subject: [Machinery] Assimilation project integration?
Message-ID: <55EEBD09.5000300@unix.sh>

Hi,

Lars Marowsky-Bree suggested that there might be some common ground
between the Machinery project and the Assimilation project -
http://AssimilationSystems.com (http://assimproj.org).

Any thoughts about that?

Subject: [Machinery] Machinery 1.13.0 is out!
Message-ID: <560004A2.70405@suse.com>

Dearest Machineriest,


Since last release, we introduced you to machinery-helper: The little go
inspector that makes inspection way faster than before.

In version 1.12.0, machinery-helper was not (yet) handling extracted
unmanaged files, but starting from the current release (1.13.0), this
limitation is not applying any longer.

Give it a try, and see what a difference it makes!

This release also comes with an update of the format to version 5, so
don't forget to update your existing system descriptions.
(Don't worry, machinery will remind you to do so, in case it's needed!)

If you are curious to see what version 5 brings, have a look at:

https://github.com/SUSE/machinery/blob/master/docs/System-Description-Format.md#version-5

Complete changelog follows:

--
## Version 1.13.0 - Tue Sep 15 18:06:00 CEST 2015 - thardeck at suse.de

* Fix: Show `Files extracted` status in `compare --html` when both
  status are the same (gh#SUSE/machinery#1218)
* Fix: Validate port option in the `show`, `compare`,  and `serve`
  commands (gh#SUSE/machinery#1316)
* Align output of `machinery config`
* Add rpc_pipefs to filtered filesystems (gh#SUSE/machinery#1250)
* Handle socket errors for `-i` option
* Add `containerize` command to the experimental features
* Export of autoyast files is now possible with system descriptions,
  which have empty repository scopes (gh#SUSE/machinery#1268)
* Inspection of unmanaged-files is now also using the faster
machinery-helper
  when the files are extracted
* Introduce format version 5 which adds the "environment" scope (see

https://github.com/SUSE/machinery/blob/master/docs/System-Description-Format.md#version-5).
  This scope is a hidden scope which is used internally by Machinery.
* Only print binary path if it's not first in PATH (gh#SUSE/machinery#1284)
* Do not exclude files with broken UTF-8 filenames anymore

We hope you?ll enjoy this release, and please do get in touch with us if
you have any feedback or questions.

Sincerely,
Your Machinery team

Subject: [Machinery] How to run it on SLES11SP3
Message-ID: <3C0179F1-BB3E-4C58-A676-76E3DC9FB54E@suse.com>

Hello All,

I?m looking for a way to use and run Machinery on SLES11SP3.
At the beginning i tried to built it from git but failed with ruby2.0 dep, so i tried to find a repo from build.opensuse.org but can?t success to built?

What is the best way to build on SLES11SP3 ?

The purpose is to recreate an already existing SLES11SP3 (SAPHANA server) hosted in AWS.

Thanks for the feedback.

Have a nice day`.

Hi Christophe,

There is no need to build and install Machinery on the target host.
You can run Machinery on a SLES12 machine and make it inspect the 
SLES11SP3 host remotely if the SLES11SP3 host is accessible via ssh.

Just run the following command on your SLES12 machine:

$ machinery inspect <hostname_of_your_sles11sp3_machine>

Please let us know if this works for you.

Thanks,
Thomas
