pacemaker on debian etch

Hi,

pacemaker is a replacement for the CRM of heartbeat which is actively developed by some programmers at Novell/SuSE. For more information see their website. The latest software is published there. The SuSE build service also publishes it for a large number of distributions.
So it is quite easy to install the latest version of heartbeat / pacemaker on your system. In debian etch you just have to add the SuSE build server to the repository servers in /etc/apt/sources:

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ha-clustering/Debian_Etch/ ./

Tell apt about the changes:

# apt-get update

and get the latest version of heartbeat / pacemaker:

# apt-get install pacemaker


If you also want to use the latest GUI:

# apt-get install pacemaker-pygui python-xml python-gtk2 xbase-clients python-glade2

pacemaker does not enable the use of the GUI by default. If you want to use it (why did you download it anyway?) please see this entry in the FAQ.

Have fun with the latest version of heartbeat!
