Hi Jean and Ginnie,
transfer_cpio.py
66 How was the default size of 1000 chosen? What are implications for changing
this number?
Totally random. The idea was that we would compute the default values somehow.
Karen can probably expand upon this.
In fact, this is an area in general that we were going to look at soon. All/many
of the checkpoints need a default value.
So you anticipate that this will be decided before you push?
transfer_ips.py
245 Rather than not executing any of this if dry_run is set, would it make
sense to go through the motions and print log messages saying what you would
be doing?
That's an interesting thought. But we can't. Since we don't have an api_inst we
can't actually figure out what to do.
If it's at all possible, it would be nice to at least log what you'd
be doing at a high level, such as
"Updating the preferred publisher, <publisher>".
If you can get more detail for some of the other dry_run sections,
that would be good.
transfer_svr4.py
55 What are the maintenance implications of this version number?
A nightmare. But it's a pkg constraint. They do this with the pkg command too.
Can you explain where the version number comes from and how we are supposed to
know to update it? Is there a flag day when the version is updated?
Sue
