RM updates: upgrade automation, documentation, appliance security

by Juan Pablo Aroztegi

Following with our round of updates, here’s the latest news from the Release Management Team:

• Continuous Integration: there is a new job that tests upgrading from the last stable MP to the latest daily OBX file. This has been done using the command line. A graphical test is in progress.
• Live builds: the main page has been refactored and it now includes detailed build information as well as the runtime Tomcat log.
• Appliance security updates: previous versions of the appliance are vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack during TLS session renegotiation. This vulnerability has been addressed in this update. Check the full changelog at the newly created appliance release notes.
• Documentation: check the new document explaining our stack configuration in the appliances.
• Issue Tracker: we are working on upgrading to version 1.2.0, which includes new interesting features. Many things have changed in this version so this process will take longer than a regular update. A new testing server will be announced soon.
• Download area: the SourceForge download area has been updated to include only the latest 3 releases. The older ones have been moved to the 09-openbravo-old-releases directory.

For a complete list of the on-going stories we’ve been working on, check the Sprint 28 page of our Scrum spreadsheet.

Volume / Sound Problems in Fedora 11

Source:http://satyajitranjeev.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/volume-in-fedora-11/

If you seem to be having trouble using the new volume control in Fedora 11, as in you cannot hear anything. In my case with headphones plugged in sound was perfect but the speaker seemed to fail. Looking at the release notes I got the answer. Use this command to increase volume:

$ alsamixer -c0

This should give you a screen like the one below:

Now all i had to do was increase the Speaker and the PCM-2 volume to maximum. The channels might vary for you depending on your sound card. If you want to increase microphone volume use

$ alsamixer -c0 -Vcapture
