Hi
for the SER meeting I would like to propose two items on the agenda:
* Migrate from CVS to Subversion.
Subversion gives us many advantages such as history on directories
and atomic commits. Atomic changesets can be reviewed as one diff
and applied to any branch, if needed. All changes should also be
sent to -dev list (as today) but perhaps also include the full
changeset, this makes the change more visible, easier for offline
viewing and hopefully more eyeballs will spot potential bugs.
I am sure there are many developers here on the list who have
good experience with Subversion.
I started the discussion on serdev mailing list some time ago and it
turned out that we were not able to get into any agreement regarding
version control system changes. From some private discussions I
understood that vast majority of people wanted to switch over to svn,
but in a public poll the situation was a bit different.
* SER config reload
It would be nice to add the possibility of reloading the config file
without shutting down SER. Consider an instance of SER with 10000
active TCP connections to 10000 useragents. The TCP connections are
maintained by the TCP processes, and if we had "ser reload" it would
have been possible to reload the config file and keep the TCP
processes running. Now, if this is feasible at all I do not know
but it certainly would have been a great feature to have ;)
I think Andrei already replied this.
