Rahul,
I second Darren's comments about file system layout and SMF.
It also does not met the Interface Taxonomy Best Practice.
This case can not get approval until these are addressed.
The web stuff could also appear some place under an apache directory.
What version of Ganglia is being provided?
Also the last interface table makes no sense at all.
Not-An-Interface does not have a taxonomy classification
of Uncommitted. Not-An-Interface is the taxonomy
classification. On top of that I would argue that many
of the things within this table are indeed an interface.
They may be Project Private but they are an interface.
Surely the header files and the shared libraries that
applications link to are an interface. Images could
easily be declared Project Private or Not-An-Interface.
There should not be a static library included with the
project. The man pages are probably Uncommitted.
I suspect that it has additional imported interfaces
as the component has a dependency upon 3 packages.
Perhaps some apache stuff and rrdtool? Does this require
the gexec execution environment as well? What about
libConfuse? Is python disabled?
Will this be providing the python client?
The paragraph about where the project originated has no
baring on the architecture unless it resulted in a Standard
being established. Is this the case? Mostly, a nit.
Thanks,
John
