[dm-devel] [ANNOUNCE] multipath-tools-0.2.8

[christophe varoqui]

Hello,

here goes multipath-tools version 0.2.8

This is pre-vacation release, to sync up with guys working with the
priority framework.
I'll be mostly off till Sept 1st.

Reported build breakage on IA64 is not solved in this release. I don't
have the hw to investigate this. If someone is interested, feel free to
debug this and send a patch. The breakage seem to come from the clone
syscall declaration.

Todo, for next releases :

* move to the new klibc development environment Sam Ravnborg is working
on, as soon as it stabilizes : hope to drop the klibc tree from the
multipath-tools tarball, and finally be packageable by distributors.

* resolve the OOM scenarii for multipathd. I guess the kernel will have
to help in some way. Anyway, advice badly needed here.
