Hi, Glob2 indeed works as the wikipedia article suggests andYOG metaserver is the relay.
On the documentation side, I of course agree with you. The problem is that I don't know enough of the network part to document it. Here is the already existing documentation: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/glob2/glob2/doc/ Specifically, about the network, there is: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/glob2/glob2/doc/YogUnderstanding.txt?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Feel free to request any document you feel is missing. As I can't document everything at once, I think the easiest thing is that you ask what you need or think it will be most usefull. Do you have any format your prefer ? Would you like doxygen documentation or do you prefer text files in doc/ or would you like things on the wiki. I don't feel very comforable with the wiki right now as it is much more difficult to add a user there than on savannah... does anyone knows if there is a mod or something for pmwiki that makes it more conveniant? If not, should we change our wiki engine? As you have probably all noticed, my salvage proposal put a big emphasis on changing the network model. This is because it is the only part I really don't know enough to fix/extend/modify. Furthermore, it is very complex because of this NAT/firewall problem. Third, our current network model is really difficult to manage: the synchronization requirement is indeed very demanding (for instance, it prevents the use of float or double, because their behaviours is not the same on different computers). This said, I've the feeling you do not want too big changes, which is very reasonable. Nevertheless, do you have any suggestion on what to do with this network problem ? Andrew, what is the state of maprewrite_branch ? If it is mostly usable, I'm ready to merge it to HEAD and continue the development and the required rewrites in HEAD. I agree that we need to clean things and that's ok for me to break map format, if we do a very clean and easily extendable format this time :-) Thanks, Steph -- http://nct.ysagoon.com _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
