Here is the proper announcement of my version. Bye, Mt.
----- Forwarded message from Martin Quinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Martin Quinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [NWS-dev] NWS 2.10.1 Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2004 11:12:03 -0700 Hi there, I just wanted to inform you that I finally upgraded my Debian packages to the current version (2.10.1). They are available from the following locations: http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~mquinson/grid.html#nws deb http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~mquinson/grid unstable deb-src http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~mquinson/grid unstable Features over the regular version: - configuration using debconf (in 5 questions) - nws_setup: script to start, stop, test the NWS processes and activities on the local host, according to a nws.conf file specifying what to run. - nws_ctrl_activity : activity managing tool (start, stop, test) - new skill: CpuCount. Gives you the number of CPU on the target host. - all binaries name are prefixed with 'nws_' (namespace depolution) - improvement: activation of the ADAPT option to hybridCpu skill. Check my PhD thesis manuscript to see the (tremendous) improvements it gives on reactivity (speed of detection that a new task is running on the host). All the patches applied over the regular tarball are listed separately on the web page, and contain a small explanation about their action. The i386 and Alpha version are available, the powerpc one is a bit lagging since I've lost the use of my ppc compilation node (should be fixed within the day). Now that I catched up with Graziano's and Cie work, I'll try not to get distanced again in the future... I'm now looking how to get those packages into the main Debian archive. I guess it could be done within a month or so. I'll keep you informed about that, but please give those packages a try. I'd like to fix any issue with them before they arrive on the Debian servers and get a wider audience. Thanks, Mt. PS: This page also contains packages for the APST and the SimGrid, which licence is will soon be cleared. If you know a cool grid program which is not packaged yet, just let me know. Nope, neither Globus nor NetSolve belong to the "cool" category (they seem impossible to package properly for Debian) -- Learning and doing is the true spirit of free software -- learning without doing gets you academic sterility, and doing without learning is all too often the way things are done in proprietary software. -- Raph Levien ----- End forwarded message ----- -- La drogue était un milieu plutot sain avant que le sport ne s'en mêle.
