Hmm... 20 day estimate... now a week late. Of course, I just started noticing PPTP issues with complaints from several users. I'm eager to update the system, but prefer the Up2Date method (less downtime, generally).
With v4, it seems the ISO updates take precedence, and I find that confusing.
Astaro, could we please have a revised release-date for 4.016 up2date? I would like to know whether to keep patient for a couple more days, or schedule downtime to backup, ISO-upgrade, restore...
Well there is one good reason why there is no up2date release for 4.16. It lost support for our compaq raid controler. I do not know if this happened with any others but this is a brand new server and they just added the support for it in the 4.02 release I belive it was. We are having alot of problems and were advised to install 4.16. Well turns out that it wasn't possible because of this.
Yeah, with each ISO release and VERY LATE up2date to follow, and absolutely no further word from Astaro, I grow extremely frustrated as a user. When does my license expire? I see OpenBSD and PF returning in my future...
Well, I do not know what all the fuss is about? if someone has problems with 4.016 the he can use 4.015. I do not know of any burning issues in 4.015 (I could be wrong ofcourse).
And for those of you wanting to go back to BSD, well go ahead ... if you have the time (and will) to do everything by hand I see no reason to use ASL at all.
I mean with all the "terrible" service they have been providing.
as such, it appears, per the bug list, there are many issues addressed in 4.016, especially pertaining to VPN/PPTP. unfortunately, i'm impatient and expect some reasonable level of communication from vendors. i also prefer to update through up2date vs. ISO, as the complete backup, reinstall, restore process causes significantly greater downtime. sure, openbsd incurs self-management and maintenance; however, when patches are released, it's up to me to apply them -- i don't have to sit around and speculate as to when they'll be available... anyhow, i'm not intending to begin any sort of flamewar; i just wish that astaro would keep us apprised of what is happening moreso than they currently do.
I too am waiting for 4.0.16 up2date for the same reasons you are: VPN/PPTP. However, I'm waiting because i'm too lazy to backup my configuration, install 4.0.16 and then restore. I really want VPN/PPTP, so I am still running on 4.0.7.
