| | 375 | == Release Process and Component Review == |
| | 376 | |
| | 377 | Time for a new release ? 1.4 ? |
| | 378 | * Many changes especially AII, block devices but not yet mature |
| | 379 | * Status page for components need to be updated : no dynamic page yet. |
| | 380 | * Wait for stability of AII v2 and new filesystem/blockdevice stuff before going for a new release (Quattor releases are not used for updating components, in particular in QWG). |
| | 381 | |
| | 382 | Component review : |
| | 383 | * checklines should probably be merged with filecopy (maintainer no longer there) |
| | 384 | * sshkeys usefulness to be reviewed : may be quite tightly coupled with grid |
| | 385 | * postgresql : still in very early stages |
| | 386 | |
| | 387 | Code maturity tags : |
| | 388 | * STABLE-x.y.z for each component |
| | 389 | * OBSOLETE tag : several format allow to indicate replacement or print a message |
| | 390 | * Processed by Quattor build tools : OBSOLETE component cannot be built, Quattor release contains only STABLE |
| | 391 | * Expose the information into HTML |
| | 392 | |
| | 393 | Documentation : automatic refreshing would be nice |
| | 394 | * Idea is to run the tool gencompswebdoc to update Web documentation from CVS |
| | 395 | * Link to open savanah bugs not implementable : only one category for all components |
| | 396 | |
| | 397 | Developers' convention document : |
| | 398 | * Focus on component writer guide : give recommendations, describe API |
| | 399 | * Look at enforcing some checks before commit but don't put too much effort |
| | 400 | |
| | 401 | Review the possibility to support other languages for writing NCM components : would be very good for acceptance by new adopters |
| | 402 | * Main API required is a getTree() implementation |
| | 403 | * Need to investigate how to integrate into the existing ncm-ncd framework |
| | 404 | * Discuss in more details at next meeting : somebody need to begin to look at the requirements... (Cal ready to contribute) |
| | 405 | |
| | 406 | |
| | 407 | == Quattor Monitoring == |
| | 408 | |
| | 409 | Need to improve monitoring of Quattor operations |
| | 410 | * In fact, script/sensors already exist for both LEMON (CERN) and Nagios (GRIF/LAL) |
| | 411 | * Start by documenting what exists before developping something new |
| | 412 | * May use the "agnostic" format developed by Grid Monitoring WG that can be imported by all main monitoring frameworks |
| | 413 | |
| | 414 | == Wrap Up == |
| | 415 | |
| | 416 | Quattor paper : try to resubmit LISA paper to other journal and conferences |
| | 417 | * Main candidate is "Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience" journal (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jtoc/77004395/) |
| | 418 | * Need to decide between being more technical or accessible for non specialist |
| | 419 | * Need to enhance/refine tool comparison |
| | 420 | * Be more detailed about use cases |
| | 421 | * Also prepare a new version for LISA08 |
| | 422 | * New coordination : ME/Luis |
| | 423 | |
| | 424 | |
| | 425 | Next workshop : CNAF, probably March 17-18. |
