I just received the news about the RedHat-Athena 4.2 beta -- kudos to all
those who worked on it all summer.
I was wondering though if someone could document the differences between a
RedHat 4.2+Athena (pre RedHat-Athena) setup and the new setup available on
small-gods.. I'd like to know what I stand to lose/gain by moving to the
"official" release rather than sticking with setups which were put together
by installing vanilla RedHat 4.2 and manually installing the Athena RPMs.
Are there any plans to issue an upgrade path for people with the previous
version of RedHat-Athena, or the interim hack that some people are using
(like me) with vanilla RedHat 4.2+Athena RPMs? I would be willing to help
put together such a routine if someone who worked on the beta release can
help document the differences between the two setups and identify what
needs to be upgraded and how.
