Hi List, for those who might be interested (or were frustrated with this;), a couple of things to note re: this post, which probably ends it; and before midnight.
DIASER now really does install on Ubuntu server 9.10 and LTS nodes without extra Perl modules - you can throw the installer (from anything - with a few extra Perl modules) at three distinct IP addresses. So far so good on my Ubuntu cloud test box. This was the original brief posted Sat, May 19, 2007: "Protocol name: DIAP - Distributed Internet Archive Protocol. Also see Long-Term Archive Service Requirements RFC4810 and Long-term Archive Protocol (LTAP) I-D. I have yet to fully study the above documents but have read some - they are very detailed so it will take some more time to reference these and other RFC's and I-D's I have yet to find." Recently moved to LTASP, Long-Term Archive Storage Protocol (I think this makes much more sense). Abstract: "Long-term archiving storage fundamentally begins with archive data Accumulation, then Replication and then Management. Using A->R->M, LTASP has been created to solve mid-range and below, long-term archiving requirements of the small-medium enterprise. Where tape has been deployed in the past, LTASP now offers an alternative solution designed to be more robust and manageable in the long term than network attached storage devices or simple disk storage alone." http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-brasher-ltasp-02.txt I'll be switching on a SF tracker fo0r bugs this week.
