I don't know a lot about xdr, but a quick look at the man page suggests to me changes would not be isolated to a few files, but widespread throughout the source files. This suggests the appropriate place to this is the development branch (1.1.x). Implementing this on the 1.0.33 sources would then require a code merge with the 1.1.x branch. One idea discussed for the 1.1.x branch was to isolate the RRD data structures from the code logic via accessor functions. I had originally thought the scope of this encapsulation would be limited to the RRD file header (thus permitting different versions of the header), but if expanded to the entire data file, it could assist in the implementation of Matt's proposal (xdr could be confined to those accessor functions). On the otherhand, the human resources necessary to complete this project haven't been committed. I'll reiterate my pledge to work on rrd_update.c, in my opinion one of the difficult modules for such a conversion. Perhaps Matt (and others interested in xdr) could be persuaded to join this effort.
