From mamorales at suse.de Mon Mar 7 02:24:02 2016 From: mamorales at suse.de (Mauro Morales) Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 10:24:02 +0100 Subject: [Machinery] New release: Machinery 1.18.0 Message-ID: <56DD48B2.5060704@suse.de> Hello Machinists, I'm happy to announce release 1.18.0 which includes a bunch of new features and bug fixes. Our main focus on this release was to make Machinery perform faster on our supported architectures besides x86_64. If you were using the `--remote-user` option you will also notice a faster inspection. A feature worth mentioning is the ability to inspect the meta-data out of a system without having to extract the files. You can make use of it by passing the `--extract-metadata` flag to the `inspect` command. This can be very useful if you want to save some disk space while keeping more detail into your system descriptions or if you want to get an idea of how big a system is before extracting it's files. Get the new release from the Machinery home page [1] via one-click install or for example by running `zypper up machinery`, if you already have a previous version installed. As always we are looking forward to your feedback. Here is the full change log since our last release. ## Version 1.18.0 - Tue Mar 01 13:51:39 CET 2016 - thardeck at suse.de * Make the machinery-helper exclusive to improve inspection performance significantly on all supported architectures. Following this change Go is required for installing the gem for now. * Fix treatment of the rpm `(replaced)` flag (gh#SUSE/machinery#1897) * Fix repository recognition on older Debian systems * Inspection of unmanaged-files is now also using the faster machinery-helper when a remote user is used * Show all available information for unmanaged files in HTML view (gh#SUSE/machinery#1905) * Move the machinery documentation from man page to HTML format * Implement "--extract-metadata" option for the unmanaged-files inspection to retrieve the file meta (e.g. owner, group, size) data without extracting the files. * Fixed counting of files in unmanaged directories (empty directories now report zero files as one would expect) Best Regards, The Machinery Team [1]:http://machinery-project.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
