Cachewall 0.38 is now available on our release repository. Please review the details below, this update contains significant changes to our package names, our dependencies, our YUM repository configuration files.
- We renamed our RPM packages to `cachewall` and `cachewall-vmods`. These were formerly named `xvarnish` and `xvarnish-vmods`.
- We introduced the `cachewall-release` package as a dependency on the `cachewall package`. This new package distributes the Cachewall and Varnish Cache 4.1 YUM repository configurations (cachewall.repo, varnish-41.repo) along with our GPG signature public key.
- We removed our dependency on packages `xvarnish-repository` and `varnish-release`. These will be obsoleted in Cachewall 0.40. It should not cause any problems to leave either installed alongside Cachewall 0.38.
- We've updated our GPG key for RPM package signing to key ID E04F4A3A (Cachewall Software).
- We renamed the Cachewall YUM repositories to be more consistent: cachewall-stable, cachewall-release, cachewall-edge, cachewall-development
From this point forward, users may simply install the `cachewall-release` and `cachewall` packages to get started. Upgrading from an earlier version should be seamless via `yum update xvarnish` (i.e., upgrading from the `xvarnish` package names). Please note that upgrading from an earlier version (0.36 or lower) will momentarily disable Cachewall if it is enabled prior to the update.
Please get in touch at help@cachewall.com if you discover any problems. While we've tested the changes extensively, there are a lot of moving parts with the package changes here.
