Functionality.
Supports all the old functionality for YAIM with D-cache but with the
new release, on my computer testing can now begin across the UK as I
shall be in active YAIM bug fixing for any issues found.
Road map for YAIM D-Cache
The functionality seems to now match what was available before with YAIM
but for the new stable release of D-cache, which was the main milestone
for release, I am going on to test with the beta release b3 of D-cache
with YAIM, first priority will definitely be support of YAIM.
After this I shall be splitting not just pool and admin nodes but also
pnfs manager and door nodes from their default bindings to pool and
admin nodes within YAIM format, I shall have to chat with Oliver for
some style guidance. This code is already implemented but the
environment variables decoding is not implemented and so this
functionality is not "switched on" or tested as yet.
The code changes was implemented after studying the bash implementation
of debconf, and should take very little code (And as usual a lot of
testing) to insert the YAIM for D-cache into debugging a major component
of making D-Cache native support for debian and also a highest common
denominator for most config engines (Who knows EDG/EGEE seems to average
1-2 per year). All that is required is to isolate the environment parsing
code and replace it with calls to debconf or what ever higher level
system is needed, the CVS tag of YAIM is called (owen_test_release_2005_12_12)
and is ready for testing.
The apt repository preproduction will be prepared tomorrow as I have
have to dash! I hope we have some curiosity from the sysadmins and can
iron out and bugs soon.
Regards
Owen
