Introspection¶

Data Model¶

• Machine ID
  • Necessary for uniqueness. Too complicated? Portable?
  • See also: http://docs.python.org/2/library/uuid.html#uuid.getnode, http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/ids.html
• Hierarchical participants
  • Use UUID for parent pointer
• Program name vs. executable path vs. name of runtime
  • Keep it simple

Implementation¶

• Mandatory vs. configurable
  • Add to ParticipantConfig
• C++ implementation
  • Try to load plugin unconditionally
• Java implementation
  • Who can do it? Nobody.
  • => Delay release
• Introspection tool: removal of (supposedly) crashed processes
  • Configurable removal timeout

Extended RPC¶

• Removal of request/reply scopes
• Specification of meta-data

Jenkins¶

• Migration of quantal64 slave (needs 1 MEU (Michael equivalence unit))
• Support some newer Ubuntu version (precise+quantal doesn't seem to be the most useful combination)
• Build win32 stuff using Wine, MinGW (and other free software)
• Setup an ARM (which?) slave?

Build generator tool¶

• Needs handling of OS dependencies (e.g. debian packages)
  • We will make a first suggestion for syntax in project recipes (cf. gar installer and cpack syntax)
  • Later add mechanism that uses database of available and required system packages (cf. Jan)
