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
