Hi all,
thanks to everybody who attended the meeting yesterday! Please find the minutes from the meeting below. Cheers, Jiri Minutes of HelenOS online meeting 2024-03-14 ============================================ Attendees: MC - Miroslav Cimerman VH - Vojtěch Horký JJ - Jakub Jermář NK - Nataliia Korop JS - Jiří Svoboda VS - Vít Skalický MV - Matěj Volf Scribe: JS Round table =========== MV: - will be working working on porting Rust to HelenOS as a school assignment (ročníkový projekt) - so far managed to compile HelenOS - still waiting for Trac access VS: - will be working on read-only Btrfs driver as a school assignment (ročníkový projekt) - JS: For reference, GRUB has a read-only Btrfs driver, from there you can judge e.g. amount of work - VH: We might strip it down even more, omitting support for mirror/ stripe/etc. MC: - will be working on software raid as a school assignment (ročníkový projekt) - JS: Something like Solaris LVM? (mirror, stripe for block devices) VH: Yes JJ: - no progress update NK: - discussion of NIC selection for packet capture tool - would really like to use short names. Can't we use net/ethN? - JS: I really don't think this is the right think to do. I don't think you need to solve this as part of your assignment. It's a project on its own. I suggest 1) if there is just one NIC, just use that 2) if there are more and user didn't specify one, prompt interactively or, alternatively, allow user to specify NIC index like with NIC tool - JJ: What about capturing datagrams from SLIP? JS: You could add capture to SLIP as well. But then, you can have other capture sources than NICs. So you would have to have a subcommand to list capture sources (with indices) and then you could specify capture source with index (or select interactively). - discussion which NIC drivers are supported VH: - fixing bugs in automatic test script - still cannot root cause erratic loss simulated key presses in Qemu - question: Is there any NIC you can currently buy that we support? JS: Don't know. Do you actually have a PC where you can plug it in where we can boot and support interrupts? JS: - How about releasing 0.14.1? Looks like a good time to do so. JJ, VH: Shrugs of consent VH: Look at ci.helenos.org, looks like builds have been failing lately. Needs fixing prior release - Any volunteer to be the release manager? .. no volunteers -> JS will be RM for 0.14.1 - Is persistent device identification/naming a good student assignment? VH: We would need to narrow it down make sure it's not too large. - JS: I would like to implement staged bood. Requires global chroot or pivot mount. Would JJ like to work on it? JJ: not really - Very happy about all the student interest!
