Hi,
I got tired of typing "./rumpremote foo args" and built some wrappers so
that you can now just run "foo args". This is done via a shell env that
you first source to enter "rumpremote mode". For example:
pooka@watou:~/src/rumprun/rr$ . rumpremote.bash
rumpremote (NULL)$ export RUMP_SERVER=unix:///tmp/tst
rumpremote (unix:///tmp/tst)$ sysctl kern.hostname
kern.hostname = rump-23969.watou
rumpremote (unix:///tmp/tst)$ ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33648
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
rumpremote (unix:///tmp/tst)$ export RUMP_SERVER=unix:///tmp/tst2
rumpremote (unix:///tmp/tst2)$ !sysctl
sysctl kern.hostname
kern.hostname = rump-29095.watou
rumpremote (unix:///tmp/tst2)$ unload_rumpremote
pooka@watou:~/src/rumprun/rr$
It's called .bash because apparently bash is the only bourne-type shell
which evaluates PS1 on the fly. I think having $RUMP_SERVER in the
prompt is useful.
Now, questions:
should this be the default mode of operation? In other words, should we
use this for the automated tests and docs?
What should the relationship of rumprun and rumpremote be? It seems to
be like they're completely different animals. Should there be two
separate builds? For one, rumpremote doesn't require building the
kernel components. Also, the above type wrapper for rumprun is only
available e.g. via the Lua console, and cannot be implemented using a shell.
I pushed my hacks onto the "shellenv" branch of rumprun on github.
