I've just published the 0.1-alpha2 release of hm2, which features extensive changes from the first alpha release 3 weeks ago.
We are now nearly feature complete for the 0.1 release, but there's still a fair amount of loose ends to clean up.
Release announcements:
Hostmaster : http://drupal.org/node/275709
Provision : http://drupal.org/node/275710
Hosting : http://drupal.org/node/275708
Single Download:
For your convenience, I have packaged up the profile and all it's dependencies which you can download here : Hostmaster 0.1 alpha2
Extract this tarball into your profiles directory, and create a new site (not in the default directory) using the profile.
Remember, you need your own server and a unix based os to run hm2, and this is not production ready, so please don't
use it for anything critical yet.
This package includes the hosting and provision modules, as well as Drush 1.3, Cvs Deploy 1.1 and Views 1.6.

Single Download Installation comments
Hi...
I installed Hostmaster on a vps I just recieved and wanted to share some comments and insights...
1. First of all in the Single Downoad mode I'd add the (obvious) clause for the 10% of the people that are real newbies - but are still attemption to install hostmaster...
* Obtain the latest version of drupal 5 - and then unpack the hostmaster full pacakge in it's profiles sub directory.
2. Make sure you're mysql user is not granted specific access to your database but has all of the permissions to additional databases.
If someone would simply follow the instructions coming in a drupal installation he would use the next GRANT statement which would lead him to the following error -
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON hm2.* TO 'lior'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'hm2';I've recieved the next error upon installation - and someone with less mysql knowhow migth get discouraged by the message...
user warning: Access denied for user 'lior'@'localhost' to database 'provision_test' query: CREATE DATABASE provision_test in /var/www/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.3. The and create a new site (not in the default directory) using the profile. statement is not clear enough I started out in the installation and configuration process and am not sure I created it.
4. When trying to initialize the que I get an error - documnted it more in http://drupal.org/node/272970#comment-903081
Good Job never the less - Except of the issues above it was a seamless installation..

Thanks for the feedback
While installing this myself, I started work on an SVN version: https://svn.bryght.com/dev/browser/projects/hostmaster2/DRUPAL-5/trunk -- full tarballs are still going to be the easiest to get started with, however, and we should actually include D5 with the proper HM2 layout to solve #1.
Can probably add some help on creating a MySQL user with proper privs for #2
I think that pre-creating something like hm2.example.com in the sites directory will make #3 clearer.
In addition, I was test installing on my local Mac, and was stumped at how to create a new user.
