[Server-devel] updates

2009-01-25 Thread Jerry Vonau

Hi Martin:

latest re-roll of anaconda, srpms, rpms and patch used, updated
mkusbinstall for the XO at:  

http://members.shaw.ca/jvonau/pub/anaconda/


- finds kickstart file without asking where it is...

- loader doesn't copy stage2 to RAM

- fix compile error re: MD_NEW_SIZE_BLOCKS(size)

- added support for method=hd:LABEL=XSRepo at the boot prompt
This allows us not to ask where the install media if the usbdrive is
labeled as XSRepo and passed the above string. 

 - added support for mmc cards (for the XO) in loader. This is
incomplete, loader now finds the CF card on the XO but is unavailable to
partition and thus install to it. F10 has the same behavior, I filed BZ#
481441. Hope they fix the issue before I have to dig it up 

- updated mkusbinstall added the labeling of the usbdrive for the above
method and creation of /boot/olpc.fth for the XO. 

Jerry

 Is there anyway we could choose the sampling? Like create user groups or
 something so you could get for example only your classmates..

Working _exactly_ on that - search this list's archive for moodle ejabberd.

  And scalability -- can people give success or failure reports with
  specific systems as to 100/200/500/1000 kids connected concurrently -
  does ejabberd survive?

 How much RAM have you got? (With enough RAM, ejabberd should have enough for 
 1K)

 2Gb. Would that be enough?

Sure ok for the 500 user case. For the 1000 user case, with the
current code, you'll probably be tight, perhaps in need of more RAM.
Once I'm done with the work I'm doing, 2GB should be ok, but tight.

cheers,

[Server-devel] GSoC 2009?

2009-01-25 Thread Martin Langhoff
Ed, devel, server-devel, sj
GSoC

GSoC is looming. I am thinking of putting some of the things that I
was planning to do in the next X months as GSoC projects (and that I
know I'm unlikely to hit).

Ideally, I would take take 2 or 3 mentees, with a preference towards
those who live in deployment regions...

retry/ignore/fail?
