Hi guys,
Just wanted to give an update on current status of the PCP development git
trees, and see how you guys are going too.
- All changes to support building Debian packages are merged, first round
of 'beta' testing done and fixes incorporated (this weekend). I
anticipate the
current git PCP will make its way into Debian's "unstable" version in the
next
couple of days.
- I have about 5 must-fix issues in kmchart before a 1.0.0 release (fixed one
today, that timezone bug). Two or three days on those should get em knocked
off. All the documentation is now sorted out, which sucked up alot more time
than I anticipated unfortunately. The Debian packaging for kmchart is all
done
now as well.
- I believe the PCP::PMDA Perl interface is nearing API stability. There
are a
few odds and ends left to cleanup though. Still not packaging anything here
yet, and will wait for a few more agents to be written I think until doing
so.
Its looking good though - I'm thinking I might write a little tutorial
based on
what I demo'd to you, Mark, to show off the features of the Perl API and also
the systemtap PMDA. It all needs documentation and additional QA tests too.
Any news on those things I've discussed with you guys recently? i.e. the web
page updates I sent, the tutorial, the genpmda script archeology, and the
DBMS PMDAs. Also, do you guys have any new code in the works? I haven't
seen any for awhile, and I'm still keen to be reviewing your code for you
before new releases come out. Speaking of which, do you have a schedule
for the next release that you can share? -- thanks!
cheers.
