[Pvfs2-developers] patch roundup

[Phil Carns]

I am just following up on the status of a few patches that are out on 
the mailing list to update my notes.  I have divided them up based on 
where I think they stand.  Do any of these (aside from the last one 
listed) need further work?  Any that are definitely declined?


Should be ready?
------------------------------

- rev-lookup-hostnames-runtime.patch
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006-July/002245.html

- test-sgid-error-msg.patch
(I think this one was supposed to be committed but I don't see it now ?)
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006-June/002137.html

- makefile-mpi-objects.patch
(Can we integrate any missing mpi tests on this one?)
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006-March/001844.html

- ncache.patch
- sys-rename.patch
(I think the last issues here were resolved with the sys-rename.patch?)
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006-June/002212.html
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006-June/002219.html


Status unknown:
-------------------------------

-mgmt-getconfig.patch
-sys-getattr-other-objects.patch
-pvfs2-validate.patch
(do these still need some discussion?  We are probably going to add 
functionality fairly soon to repair the most common error cases 
(stranded datafiles))
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006-June/002130.html


Patches with known problems:
---------------------------------
- state-dumper.patch
(This last patch definitely has some issues to fix that we haven't 
handled yet.  I am including it here mainly as another reminder to me :) 
We haven't had time to come back to this issue, but we still hope to 
eventually, or either get someone else to look into doing something 
similar...)
