Folks, I've just released a full set of tarballs for all
public ARK teams, and updated the http://ark.sf.net/ web
pages.  Here's the blurb I submitted to freshmeat.net:

   ARK team: Long-running ARK applications now notice
   changes to ARK data (.xml files).  Added better support
   for multiple admins maintaining a site.  The ARK engine
   now works sensibly when hosts are down or unavailable.  A
   new flavor of constraints ('general') has been added.
   Mac OS X is now supported, including AppleScript ARK
   methods.

   Sidai team: The 'un'-methods (uncompile, undeploy,
   uneverything, etc.)  have been added for packages.  New
   ARK packages: LPRng, antiword, various Cadence EDA tools,
   cfengine, ispell, ns2 (network simulator), Sun packages
   and patch bundles.  Newer version of existing ARK
   packages: openssh, samba, tiff, and xemacs.

   Documentation: Jonathan Hogg's UKUUG talk slildes have
   been added to the Web site.

I will also announce it on comp.unix.admin.

This is a "steady as you go" release, mainly intended to
keep us out of "your tarballs are old" trouble.

I still strongly advise ARK users and potential users to use
CVS as their primary access mechanism.

Please shout about any problems you may encounter.

Will
