Great! I just set up a seeding instance for all three torrents. It is
limited to 100kB/800kb for now. If that is not enough I can set up a
second instance on another server.

Re: CryptoNAS v0.3.5 is here!

Not mdadm *setup*, no. From what I understand, it *should* use a md device if it 
already exists, but I haven't tested that capability. The known issues I 
can think of off the top of my head are:

- Avahi IPv4 LL auto-config is disabled, though multicast name 
resolution works
- DHCP and manual partition setup are turned off in this release
- Some checkins by Lars didn't make it into this release, since they 
broke unit tests and so far I haven't made them work myself
- No debian-compatible public repositories for now (I know the basics of 
reprepro now, but I have doubts about putting a mirror on my little 
40kbps-upstream server).
- Some features are missing that make it not-ready-for-1.0 material
- The archives really should be signed, but I don't have signatures on 
my GPG key that would lead a broad audience to trust it

In spite of this, after using it at home for a while and beating on it 
for a few days using smbtorture, I judged it stable enough for a pre-1.0 
release. It adds Chinese support, fixes some translations in languages 
other than German, includes source for all included Debian packages, and 
adds support for booting from USB sticks (and other block devices). 
It would be reasonable to test it yourself before using it for 
business-critical data, but I trust it for my own NAS needs.

Re: CryptoNAS v0.3.5 is here!

Hey James (and all on this list),

first: great work James, you rock!
second: sorry for not responding and leaving this project alone with
you

As Lars and me are in many other projects and have no spare time for
CryptoNAS we would like to give you full admin access for svn, website
and so on - if you like. Feel free to use everything including name and
logo.

I propose a jabber meeting next week. Is 2nd July (wednesday) 9:00pm
(utc) okay for you?
