Module submission Socket::MsgHdr

2003-11-12 Thread Perl Authors Upload Server

The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:   Socket::MsgHdr
  DSLIP:   bdhOa
  description: sendmsg, recvmsg and cmsghdr
  userid:  MJP (Michael J. Pomraning)
  chapterid:5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
  communities:

  similar:
Socket IO::Socket File::FDPasser

  rationale:

Extant modules either don't present or don't fully present
message/control capabilities of modern socket implementations.

(N.B.: Socket::MsgHdr also scribbles (send|recv)msg into the
IO::Socket namespace, for people who prefer that sort of thing.)

Other names for this module in previous, unreleased incarnations
(Socket::SendRecvMsg, IO::Message, others.) didn't quite fit, were
misleading, or lead to namespace proliferation.

The chosen namespace should be somewhat intuitive -- struct msghdr
becomes ...::MsgHdr object. cmsghdrs are kept as mundane datatypes
(no blessed ...::CMsgHdr, at least, not yet).

  enteredby:   MJP (Michael J. Pomraning)
  enteredon:   Wed Nov 12 07:43:39 2003 GMT

The resulting entry would be:

Socket::
::MsgHdr  bdhOa sendmsg, recvmsg and cmsghdr MJP

I also thought the indexer was now supposed to report problems
it had indexing distributions, so users would know what went wrong.

Its nothing todo with pause, why did you not use the feedback form on 
the site ?

   Well the reason is simple, there was a problem unpacking the tar 
file

   tar zxv --no-same-owner -f PPM-Repositories-0.07.tar.gz
   PPM-Repositories-0.07/
   tar: Archive value 4294967295 is out of gid_t range
-2147483648..2147483647
   This is on solaris, on linix it is fine as gid_t is unsigned on 
linux
but signed on solaris
I see, so what's gonna happen now (do I need to re-upload or what)?
If you can create one without such a large gid then that would work. 
But we need to solve this better.

   What are you using to create the tar file and on what platform?

cygwin's tar on win32 via `nmake dist'
So its possible that others will suffer the same problem. Although only 
your uploads seem to be having this problem at the moment. Thats not to 
say others will not in future.

I will probably need to patch GNU tar to ignore extracted uid and gid 
when not running as root. There is no reason to check them as they will 
not be used anyway.

So [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not the right place to report this?
No, the feedback form on the search site is

namespace: System::Management

2003-11-12 Thread Kees Cook
I'd like to register a namespace for remote system management modules.  
I have plans for IBM ASMA control, HP TTRC control, NUMAQ power control, 
Pulizzi IPC power control, VASENET, and possible IPMI.

I figured that using the Device:: top-level wasn't quite accurate, since
this is entire-system management (frequently addressing individual
devices -- fans, cpus, memory).  Another module has been written by
someone else that may change it's name if this namespace makes sense:
PowerEdge::RAC, which is not yet in CPAN.
(http://lanceerplaats.nl/PowerEdge/RAC/)

Does System::Management make sense?

Thanks!

"System" is a fairly meaningless top level name.
I'd suggest using

SystemManagement::*
or  SysManagement::*
