New packages in Ubuntu 8.10 (Hardy Heron) that I'm excited about

Sure there are a lot of updates and other niceness but today I got excited about some new packages that haven’t been present in past releases. I’ve included them with others that I’ve mentioned in the past. So here are packages that are new in Ubuntu 8.10 but that I plan to use immediately.

• haproxy
• mysqlproxy
• silcd
• solr

I was already aware of silcd and mysqlproxy but learning about solr and haproxy today was good news. I plan to setup some Hardy test servers soon to test these packages.

Update on 4/16/2008

• ganeti
