Is libdaemon (or whatever's out there) useful? +=-XML (XML-RPC): useful as a communication protocol? as RPC protocol? see atheme; useful as job description format possibly. +*-remoteio: figure out how to handle communications; async + callbacks seems the best method to me atm Master *=Add lockout of slaves below a certain version *-Complete testing with interactive test mode -update frame assigner to distribute some frames for lower-priority jobs when there's a higher priority job -?-make frame assigner not assign frames beyond the amount of frames in a single job B-Add calls to remotio -> make API for sending messages ~= a function for every type of message defined in protocol.h -Write a stub for getting info from the tarball/validifying the tarball. Read distren-job.xml, a file in the tarball, to find out 1. which rendering system to use (that system, e.g. blender/povray, can read more specifics, such as name of file to pass to blender and frames. Options common between different systems will be handled in common as best as possible) -Write a stub for publishing file and constructing job description so that the job can be shared -*-Other XML-writing/reading such as current stats / jobs / data / etc, xml writing for job creation, ... -=-XML-RPC cgi interface for obtaining info +B-XML-RPC interface for obtaining info =-charsets: the program should operate in UTF-8. This is partially required by libxml2's (and XML's) usage of UTF-8. We want the program's internal charset to be UTF-8 and figure out if we need w_char/whatever to fulfill UTF-8. I don't believe we do... mabye we just need a declaration that al data stored must be in UTF-8 format. -> we need to consider how charsets work when and if issues come up M-explain members of struct general_info; e.g., what is timestamp used for, what's the point of the hibernate var, etc. +*-resolve conflict between liblist and libmysqlclient +*-figure out delete-during-traversal for liblist Slave -Fix current bugs -*-Currently distrencommon.conf is not created slave-side *-Add calls to remoteio, once it works or even before it works -> write message API functions and API =-Make code more flexible for different types of jobs and operating systems (such as paths, libs, etc) =-Add code to allow pausing/resuming of the slave (including a running blender process) -> signal handling (SIGTSTP vs. SIGSTOP), distrenslave_control cmdline interface
