[Announce] Cpuset (cset) v. 1.5.0 available

[Alex Tsariounov]

Greetings:

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of cpuset (cset)
v1.5.0 from here:

 Source:   http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Cpuset
 Packages: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tsariounov:/cpuset/

Cpuset is a GPL v2 Python application to make using the cpusets
facilities in the Linux kernel easier. It allows manipulation of cpusets
on the system and provides higher level functions such as implementation
and control of a basic CPU shielding setup.  The actual command is
called cset.

If you're tired of manipulating cpusets by hand, or writing and
rewriting cpuset startup scripts to help manage shielding, then this
tool could be for you.

The source link above contains access to a subversion repository,
bugzilla instance and mailing lists for cpuset.

For an more in-depth writeup on cpuset, see the RT wiki at:
http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Cpuset_management_utility

Which also includes the new tutorial:

Thanks,
