Hi folks,

I've just released schroot version 0.1.7.  The upstream tarball is
available here:

  http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/schroot/schroot-0.1.7.tar.bz2

Please could this be added to the Alioth files page?

http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/schroot/schroot-0.1.7.tar.bz2
also needs adding.

Major changes in this release:

  1) The chroots now implement locking to restrict access to chroots
     which are already in use.

  2) The "current-users" and "max-users" configuration options have
     been removed.  These have been obsoleted by chroot locking.

  3) The command-line options "--all-chroots" and "--all-sessions"
     have been added, which have similar behaviour to "--all", but
     selects all chroots and all active sessions, respectively.

  4) Session creation, use and removal is now available for LVM
     snapshot chroots, using the options documented in schroot(1).

  5) The session commands also work with non-session-based chroot
     types (plain and block-device), but is equivalent to using the
     chroot normally.

  6) An init script is used to recover (restore) session chroots at
     system startup.

  7) If no chroot is specified, schroot will fall back to using the
     "default" chroot.  Adding a "default" alias to an existing chroot
     will make this chroot the default.

The major new feature is the session management.  Once support for
this is added to sbuild (next on my TODO list), you will be able to
use sbuild with LVM snapshots!


Regards,
Roger
