==== Heartbeat 2.99 in Karmic ====

RoAkSoAx announced that version 2.99 of heartbeat had been available in Debian
experimental and wondered whether it should be synced in Karmic. mathiaz asked
how stable 2.99 was compared to the version currently in unstable (and
karmic). RoAkSoAx reported that the Cluster Resource Manager code had been
removed from Heartbeat since 2.99.x and replaced by Pacemaker. The Debian
maintainer team plans to upload 2.99 to unstable once the last round of
testing has been done in experimental.

RoAkSoAx added that he had published package for karmic in his PPA [6]. He
plans on conducting some more testing on the packages and asked for more
testing from the community as well.

ACTION: RoAkSoAx to write a test case for heartbeat
ACTION: RoAkSoAx to write a blog post for a call for testing heartbeat 2.99
from a PPA
