ucarp (1.5.1-1) unstable; urgency=low This version introduces support for sending and receiving broadcast advertisements, instead of multicast, through the use of the new -M/--nomcast command argument. It is also now possible to configure deadratio, xparam, and nomcast from /etc/network/interfaces. See /usr/share/doc/ucarp/README.Debian for a full list of configuration directives. -- Eric Evans Sat, 25 Jul 2009 11:49:21 +0000 ucarp (1.5-2) unstable; urgency=low This version introduces support for ignoring interface state through the use of the -S/--ignoreifstate option. This is useful when nodes are connected by a crossover cable where powering down one node will drop the link of the other, causing an unwanted transition to backup on the remaining node. -- Eric Evans Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:43:06 -0500 ucarp (1.5~snap080222-1) unstable; urgency=low Ucarp supports two new arguments. The --passfile argument can be used to specify a file containing the password, (previously set by using --pass/-o). This provides additional security by not exposing the password through the process list. The specified file should contain the password as the only line in the file. The --xparam argument makes it possible to specify an additional parameter to supply to the up/down scripts. -- Eric Evans Wed, 02 Apr 2008 21:36:04 -0500 ucarp (1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low It is now possible to configure ucarp from /etc/network/interfaces, see /usr/share/doc/ucarp/README.Debian to learn how. -- Eric Evans Thu, 19 Apr 2007 16:45:36 -0500 ucarp (1.2-1) unstable; urgency=low Ucarp's default behavior is to execute the command specified by the --downscript option on every transition to the "backup" state. This version introduces the --neutral option that suppresses this on start up if "backup" is the initial state. It is always good practice to use an idempotent downscript, but if that is not possible then the --neutral may be of help. -- Eric Evans Sun, 09 Apr 2006 16:37:41 -0500
