Release Meeting Minutes/2011-09-20
From K5Wiki
Will Fiveash, Carlos Garay, Thomas Hardjono, Sam Hartman, Greg Hudson, Nathaniel McCallum, Simo Sorce, Tom Yu
- Nathaniel
- MSDN says no socketpair.
- Tom
- Win32 doesn't have fork either, so test suite can't run on Win32 anyway.
- Nathaniel
- OK, will merge.
- Greg
- verto integration issues: KDC goes deaf on OS X. kadmind does on Solaris.
- Nathaniel
- Whether they report errors. Sometimes the underlying event fires in error conditions.
- Greg
- String attributes. Whether we should document conventions for keys. Maybe namespaces. Nico says plugin name should be part of key name. Registry?
- Simo
- Forcing vendors to register not good. Or maybe make prefix part of the API.
- Sam
- Wiki page.
- Simo
- Wiki won't be up to date if people don't know about it. Opposed to global prefix. Makes it harder for sysadmin who is casually experimenting with command line kadmin.
- Greg
- [ CCAPI ] several revs to protocol.
- Sam
- RPC protocol independent of API.
- Greg
- Only version on Windows is v2. Implementation deemed not good. New implementation v3. Client/server code platform independent. v3 only shipped on OS X.
- Sam
- Test suite claims to be woefully incomplete for odd definitions of "incomplete". It actually has a lot of tests.
- Greg
- Single-threaded. Locks. Callbacks. Operations might not return immediately. v3 Windows platform RPC. Kevin Koch used bidirectional RPC [ Windows RPC requires all RPCs to return. ]
- Sam
- Performance really dreadful.
- Greg
- Try porting DIRCACHE to Windows. Would give you collections.
- Sam
- GSS name to UID. Creates dependency on uid_t. Bad on Windows. Is uid_t even the right thing here.
- Greg
- pname_to_uid...
- Will
- Not sure about that one. Solaris internal, maybe?
- Sam
- If we keep it, would like to know when to expose it. Want it to return a local name instead.
