Here is a quick Amahi Linux Home Server update on new package releases. Some of it was to improve on the out of the box experience, and some of it is for overall stability and feature improvements.

• Version 2.3 of hdactl fixed creation of default samba shares (this has been a long standing issue). This will make the user experience out of the box for ffile sharing better, avoiding having to mess with.
• Version 0.10 of hda-suite to include dependency of the system-config-samba rpm. This will also help for people configure samba, so that the Fedora config utility is there when you use the desktop (directly or via vnc).
• Version 2.4 of hdactl, which fixes permissions of the files in the samba shares. This is something that came today, after we realized that the 2.3 version may leave samba shares owned by root. New installs will just work. For people that have this already and pick it up via automatic updates (everyone, by default), we recommend you chown your /var/hda/files to whatever you need … otherwise do
  rpm -e --nodeps hdactl && yum -y install hdactl
• Version 0.21 of the wiki theme to improve install reliability.
• Version 0.85 of the platform software (dashboard, setup, etc.). This improves speeding in the web server and also speeding in the restart of the web server. Not only that, it also fixes an issue with having to reinstall apps and restarting the server afterwards to see them properly. This is no longer necessary!

There are a couple of other updates, dealing with the weightwatcher app, which we’ll send separately, and the http://www.amahi.org site. Note that we’re still working on the web manager for the platform to let you very easily install { wordpres | drupal | munin | phphmyadmin
| zenphoto, etc.}.

More soon!
