Hi all! I hope you have all been able to take some time off during the Christmas and New year holidays.
With this mail I want to give you a heads-up to the fact that ticket [#2084] has been pushed. This means that OpenSAF now uses a non-recursive automake configuration, which brings many advantages - among other things it removes the artificial limitations on the parallelism of a traditional recursive make. The amount of parallelism you can utilise during the build process is now (almost) only limited by the number of CPU cores and the amount of memory your build server is equipped with. During the conversion to a non-recursive automake configuration, the autotools configuration files were also cleaned up. The result is that bootstrapping and configuration is also faster after this change. So in summary, the OpenSAF build time should see a significant improvement. Since this is a fairly large change to our build system, I expect that there can be some problems initially. Please help out to verify that the build works and produces the correct result for the configuration that you are using. The code freeze for OpenSAF 5.2 is planned for 2017-02-24, so there should be plenty of time to weed out any potential problem. Looking forwards, I should mention that we are also considering to move the OpenSAF code repository from Mercurial to GIT. You may have noticed that there is in fact already an OpenSAF GIT repository available. Keep in mind that we haven't switched yet though, so our main repository is still the old Mercurial one and that is what you should use. The GIT repository is at this point there just for testing purposes. regards, Anders Widell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Opensaf-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensaf-devel
