I am happy to announce the official launch of the IUS Community Project.  We have been working on getting this out there for months and have finally made it through all the loops and meetings and ‘red tape’ involved in taking an internal project and making it public.

We look forward to seeing this project grow, and seeing what the demand is in the community for it.  We are still ironing out getting all the sites squared away, documentation ported over, migrating source code over to launchpad, and of course many other things.  It will take a while before everything is in place, however for the most part you have what you need to start using our packages and report issues on them.  The following should help you out:

Project Page and Mailing Lists

• LaunchPad.net/IUS
• General discussions happen within the IUS Community Members mailing list.  Join the team on launchpad.net and you will be able to subscribe to the list.

Reporting Bugs and Feature Requests

• Bugs and Feature Requests can be submitted via our launchpad.net tracking system.

Accessing our Yum Repositories

• Our official yum repository is available at http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub.  Once we have more mirrors available you will be able to choose one that best fits your location.
