As many of you have noticed, the alpha release of Ubuntu Delivered by rPath is now available as a platform selection on rBuilder Online.

As part of taking Ubuntu Delivered by rPath beyond its current alpha status, we have been making changes to our infrastructure to better support this platform.

Because of the nature of these changes, updates to existing appliances based on Ubuntu Delivered by rPath will fail. Therefore, It will be necessary to recreate the appliance using the latest version of Ubuntu Delivered by rPath, and to then redeploy the appliance.

If you created your appliance using rBuilder Online's web interface:

• Select the appropriate version of your product
• Click "Edit product version"
• Click "Update" next to the Appliance Platform listing
• Select "Ubuntu Hardy Delivered by rPath" from the drop down menu
• Click "Update Appliance Platform"
• Click "Manage Appliance" on the left of the page
• Click "Revise Appliance"
• Click "No archive to package" at the bottom of the page
• Click "Continue" at the bottom of the page
• Click "Update Contents"
• Click "Build Appliance"
• Click "Generate Appliance Images"

If you have created your appliance using rPath's command-line tools:

• Use "cvc checkout" to obtain a copy of the appliance's recipe
• Change any occurrences of "ubuntu.rpath.org" to "ubuntu.rpath.com"
• Commit your changes
• Cook groups and build new images

rPath apologizes for this inconvenience, but these changes were necessary to ensure that this highly-popular platform will be adequately supported by rBuilder Online.
