Code sprint

August 26, 2016

Back in July I attended IS’ first EdWeb code sprint. IS are trying out the idea to encourage more collaboration, and find an alternative source of resource to actually get EdWeb code development done.

I found it very useful, though for this first one, everyone was learning, and though I did get my submission back to their git accepted, it was a rather minor change, but real outstanding work that needed done at some point.

There’s a new updated, 1.12, which I’m about to try. It will be interesting to see if my code changes are in there.

SL7 AFS Server

August 26, 2016

Just a brief update on AFS for SL7.

This week all my changes have made it to stable, and there are now 1.2.x versions of the lcfg-openafs (server only) and lcfg-openafs-client components for SL7.

I spent a bit of time teasing the two components apart, so either can be installed in isolation (or together) on a machine. In hindsight it would have been cleaner to leave behind the “openafs” component in the SL6 world, and created a new openafs-server component like Stephen did for the openafs-client component. It would have made the various header files and schema files a cleaner split, but it’s done now.

Craig, I and the Unit have their AFS volumes on a gresley, a new SL7 AFS server. We need to move some more guinea-pigs, but it all seems fine.
