[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools-testing v20071017-rc

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

its been a long time between drinks, so I thought that it be about
time to put out another release of kexec-tools. To this end I have
made an RC release, kexec-tools-testing v20071017-rc.

I intend to call the release kexec-tools-testing vYYYYMMDD, though
ultimately I would like to release kexec-tools 2.0, Eric, I'd appreciate
your ideas on what needs to be done in order to make that happen.

The RC release can be downloaded as a tarball:

I have also tagged it in git:
