Last week had some ups and downs to it. - There's a new version of the openwrt toolchain that I'm steering clear of for a while + linux 3.3rc3 built and just worked. (I will announce a version that I con= sider stable enough to try, if it continues to prove out, but need to fix ntp bug first) + quagga has babel support now - quagga's babel support is incomplete + quagga has support for ra announcements, potentially obsoleting radvd - quagga has no support for rdnss announcements + quagga has pimd support - quagga's pimd support is out of tree + dibbler doesn't crash on a single interface now, does on multiples - dibbler-pd wants to divide up whatever subnets it gets into smaller subnets, even <64 + bind 9.9rc2 'just worked' - isc-dhcp doesn't share libs with bind9, and I still haven't got around to testing it's pd + libval works now + there's a ntp patch for dnssec now - it needs libval, and pthreads, and doesn't work (evan and I spent the weekend on it) + avahi's .local support is a real win - avahi's .local support doesn't seem to work on ipv6 In other words: Progress has started on the biggest bugs outstanding. There seems to be movement, however jello-like. Various folk from all over are helping out and things seem to be converging somewhat towards an end goal, in a herdlike catlike w= ay + In particular I made some progress on improving openwrt's qos shaper - only to run into http://www.bufferbloat.net/issues/338 on ipv6 (which I can't duplicate right now) + ula addresses can get a system up on ipv6 from the getgo - automating that, and coping with dhcp pd when dhcp-pd is no fun Lastly I'm thinking a few things in more detail about the future. One: cerowrt's naming scheme could become tied to the kernel release, so I could do a series like cerowrt-3.3rcX-y, rather than the 'bql', or 'paris', or 'rc', and have it be meaningful enough without being as 'stressful' as actually having a 1.0. Two: I'd like to actually tie an honest release date to sometime shortly after the release of linux-3.3.1. Three: I'm rather vague on how to do that, still. Hopefully this week will be better. In the meantime, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Or, if you do, send flowers for V-day. --=20 Dave T=E4ht SKYPE: davetaht US Tel: 1-239-829-5608 FR Tel: 0638645374 http://www.bufferbloat.net
