The Arusha Project (ARK) seeks to provide a framework and/or
tools for collaborative system administration of multi-platform
Unix sites with many dozens of machines. For the full tale,
please see our web site at http://ark.sourceforge.net/.

We have just released a new set of tarballs (one per `team')
which reflect what is in our CVS repository. The (probably
impenetrable) "release notes" are below. The changes since
March have been steady but undramatic.  Thanks to Joel
Shprentz for useful input in this iteration.

Feel free to join the occasional discussion on the ark-*
mailing lists. Regards,

Will

=== "release notes" =======================================

In the ARK engine, host context is tracked better.  We
attempt to satisfy new constraints with chosen-earlier
constraints.  Added 'may-fail' constraints.

In the Sidai code, networking info has been generalized and
sample packet-filter code changed to match.  General support
for RH Linux 9 added.  A 'clean' method added to most
packages.

In individual teams' code, there are now examples of using
rdiff-backup and of how to kickstart an RH Linux box into
ARK-readiness.  Over 150 package specifications are new or
updated to current software versions.
