I have decided to move the jobfs version of Job to a "test only" status.
It will appear in a test directory.
I have decided in my tests that it just isn't stable and has some
performance issues and other problems that need to be fixed if we choose
to continue down that path. It isn't clear that the jobfs implementation
is the way to go - I'm not sure some of the performance issues are
solvable with jobfs.
The non-jobfs implementation (the tried and true one) is the one that is
stable and supported.
Both versions require the job package (libraries and commands) to function.
However, the jobfs version moved much of the processing out of the kernel
and in to the library.
Of course, both require the pnotify patch (formally PAGG) as well.
The ftp site is being re-organized to make it clear what is test,
what is stable, etc. I'll post on that shortly.
