Subject: [Announce] Cpuset (cset) v. 1.5.0 available

Greetings:

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of cpuset (cset)
v1.5.0 from here:

 Source:   http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Cpuset
 Packages: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tsariounov:/cpuset/

Cpuset is a GPL v2 Python application to make using the cpusets
facilities in the Linux kernel easier. It allows manipulation of cpusets
on the system and provides higher level functions such as implementation
and control of a basic CPU shielding setup.  The actual command is
called cset.

If you're tired of manipulating cpusets by hand, or writing and
rewriting cpuset startup scripts to help manage shielding, then this
tool could be for you.

The source link above contains access to a subversion repository,
bugzilla instance and mailing lists for cpuset.

For an more in-depth writeup on cpuset, see the RT wiki at:
http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Cpuset_management_utility

Which also includes the new tutorial:

Thanks,
Alex Tsariounov


Changes from 1.04 -> 1.5.0 as follows:

Major upgrade since 1.04.  This release includes a number of bug fixes and
enhancements as outlined below.  The release number also has transitioned to a
three-digit number.  This release has many usability enhancements from the
past months experience.  It also includes a lengthy tutorial to introduce
users to the tool.

The bug numbers refer to cpuset's bugzilla instance which can be found
here:  http://devzilla.novell.com/cpuset

Fixed Bugs:
* Fix bug #1: Origination cpuset not accepted for process move...
* Fix bug #2: Proc move from set to set does not recognize...

  shield pidspec still works.

* Added error message if proc list command does not specify a set

* Location for cpuset filesystem mount can be specified in config file
* Changed proc option -a/--all to --force only
