[Linux-HA] [ANNOUNCE] Interim heartbeat packages refreshed (2.1.2-15)

[Andrew Beekhof]

Just a quick note to say that the packages at
     http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/ha-clustering
were refreshed today after sufficiently (see pending bugs below)  
passing automated testing.


The most important crm-related additions in this release are:
  - the resolution of hanging shutdowns triggered by the use of  
crm_resource -C
  - the addition of hb_report which significantly eases the process  
of gathering data for issue reporting
  - further refinement of the colocation and ordering changes in the  
previous release


The current version is 2.1.2-15.1 for .rpm and 2.1.2-15 for .deb

The packages correspond to Heartbeat as of this revision:
    http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/shortlog/c492f19cb583

The source for this version can be obtained from:
    http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/archive/obs-2.1.2-15.tar.bz2
