2006-08-11 Package rebuild

Hello

Due to some packaging corrections and improvements, I've redelivered new instances (-2) of the mondo 2.0.9 RPM packages. They are functionaly the same as the one delivered in the begining of the week, so no need to redowload for those already having -1.

Changes are :

- ChangeLogs are now correct for RPMS - Gentoo build is now working, and packages have been produced. Official feedback is pending. - Official packages have been released for Mandriva Cooker and will be in 2007.0 - Fedora extra proposal is also pending.

Please report bugs using (trac). It's now also accepting e-mail input. It will ease discussions around bug with distributions.

I'll be off mail till early September, and I promised my family to not work on mondo during the holiday period ;-) So you'll have to wait till then to get my feedback.

For more news look here

Mondo Rescue is a GPL disaster recovery solution. It supports Linux (i386, x86_64, ia64) and FreeBSD (i386). It's packaged for multiple distributions (RedHat, RHEL, SuSE, SLES, Mandriva, Debian).

It supports tapes, disks, network and CD/DVD as backup media, multiple filesystems, LVM, software and hardware Raid.

You need it to be safe.
