I want to give everyone a preview of what we're working on for Mercury 1.1:
Fixed:
Bug 541418
Bug 541499
Bug 541554
Bug 541610
Bug 543688
We've tested and added support for Linode (and a friend of ours is working on a Linode stackscript), added some more examples to /var/lib/bcfg2/Metadata/groups.xml, and implemented bcfg2's template system that allows for users to have their own configuration settings (without having the changes wiped out by updates from bcfg2).
We'll post documentation on how the template system works before 1.1 is released.
If you want a sneak at 1.1, create a server using the instructions at http://groups.drupal.org/node/50408 and change the following lines:
"sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/bcfg2 /var/lib/bcfg2" to "sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/bcfg2-dev /var/lib/bcfg2"
"sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/profiles /var/www" to "sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/profiles-dev /var/www"
But please note that dev is still under pretty heavy development and is often broken.
I know that Karmic support and EBS-boot support are high on the wish list of Mercury users. Implementing Mercury/bcfg2 on Karmic has been much harder than expected. However, we expect to have both Karmic and Lucid fully supported very soon after Lucid is released. EBS-boot support should be available very soon after that (this will be helped by the fact that Canonical is supporting EBS-boot with Lucid).
Thanks for your patience and support!

Thanks Greg!
As always, it's great to see all of the hard work you guys are putting into this to make Pantheon super cool. I've been traveling for work a lot but hope to be able to catch up on the project soon. Hope to see everyone at DrupalCon too!

Hello.
Thanks for this interesting project.
I have some problem trying to install Mercury with this notes: http://groups.drupal.org/node/50408
(where I have spotted an error:"The easiest way to do this is open /etc/sources/apt.sources should read /etc/apt/sources.list")
root@kevero:/# sudo /etc/init.d/bcfg2-server start; tail -f /var/log/syslog

Also, your advice to:
""sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/bcfg2 /var/lib/bcfg2" to "sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/bcfg2-dev /var/lib/bcfg2"
"sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/profiles /var/www" to "sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/profiles-dev /var/www"" do not work:
root@kevero:/# sudo bzr branch lp:pantheon/bcfg2-dev /var/lib/bcfg2
bzr: ERROR: Invalid url supplied to transport: "lp:pantheon/bcfg2-dev": Project pantheon has no series called "bcfg2-dev"
I thing that lp:pantheon is dev no? I'm not sure. This is because here https://code.launchpad.net/~pantheon-developers/pantheon/bcfg2-dev I see that branche content point at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pantheon-developers/pantheon/bcfg2-dev/files
Regarding Karmic... witch branche do you suggest as config?
Or what approach I can use to successfully install Mercury on Karmic? BTW ... After that I can disable Solr no?
Regards,
Luigi
I forgot to say
Does it matter that I'm using php 5.3?
