x-finished task
=-Long-term goal
Build
Master
*-Add calls to remotio
-Write more meat into the pseudo-code main() to pull everything together
-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
*-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.
-rename some struct members and variables to be more program-agnostic and more sensible (e.g., no blender-specific stuff)
Slave
-Fix current bugs
*-Add calls to remoteio, once it works or even before it works
-Add code to write arguments for exec_blender based on the contents of a job's xml file
*-Other XML-writing/reading
+Parse XML file and toss data in blendjob struct
+Update exec_blender() to use the struct rather than other vars
-Add errorcatchers to return in libcurl functions, can we detect 404?
=-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)
-Add a threads variable for software that doesn't support threads (blender takes care of this by itself)
