Fingers crossed! > But please look into the reason why Ceph fails to build on ia64[4]. Argh, this looks like a (silly) problem with libatomic-ops-dev. We should have a configure/build option to use the new c++11 atomic types instead; that may be less painful than dealing with it. > Also, how 0.48 goes? Will it contain big differences to 0.47.2? As you > can read, even 0.47.2 is in question for Wheezy. But would you propose > 0.48 for inclusion when it's released? Barring any last-minute catastrophies, 0.48 should be released Monday. Packaging-wise it will be pretty similar to 0.47.2, except for the stuff from you I've pulled upstream over the last couple of weeks (separate ceph-fs-common package, small fixups). 0.48 will also be our first longer-term stable release, so it is much better-suited than 0.4.2 for inclusion in wheezy. sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
