To elaborate a little bit more on what Anup said, the sparks project is focusing more on the framework and API level issues surrounding naming services, whereas the Duckwater project is focusing more on the management of the framework and the interactions of managing that framework in conjunction with NWAM, SMF, Visual Panels etc.
Sparks is focusing on issues such as better caching of requests, adding new getXbyY APIs, for instance APIs that can return realDNS TTLs etc., developing new community putXbyY APIs and enhancing the security aspects of the switch frame work at the library and nscd levels . Duckwater will focus on the SMF issues related to managing this new Sparks framework from all the various input sources like NWAM, SMF,Visual Panels tools, Caiman, replacement command line tools or other, such as modified existing command line tools. I hope that helps explain the differences, Doug. This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
