VLC Network improve with SDN approach.

2016-09-02 Thread Luis Zárate 
This mail is not an official mail of presentation of our work is just I
commented you what we are working, I hope not to get ahead imprudently in
the presentation of our work, and make false illusions if so my sincere
apologies
The official mail will be send soon.

First than all my presentation. My name is Luis Zárate, I work for Solvo (
solvosoft.com) and in Solvo we are working in a Universidad de Costa Rica
(UCR) project based in VCL.

In the UCR we detect that VCL needs a better network approach, because
service like DNS, DHCP,NAT, VPN,Firewall are not include as part of
reservation (you can set DHCP but not reserve a new dhcp server with
specific configurations), so same as  machine reservation, we want an
network service reservation on demand and scheduled. So we looked how to
make this possible and see in SDN approach how to do that.

In the past 8 months we studied VCL code and have some observations (this
for other mail), We made some diagrams and worked in the new design of VCL
network we also started and SDN lab for test.

In our SDN Lab we made a overlay network based on GRE tunnels (we have
hardware limitations), OpenvSwitch and Ryu with good results, we also being
worked in how to automate the service creation and saw it that is possible
to incorporated VCL (some code in https://github.com/luisza/sdn_control/,
is in python, but I think can be translated to Perl when I feel good with
the language).  Although our lab is with overlay network I see possible to
use other SDN model and controller without several code changes.

I also started studying Perl and dojo, I know php and javascript, C/C++ and
Python but not Perl and dojo so is part of what I am doing.

Attached are an visual idea of how I see the new VCL network system, we are
working on mockups right know.

We also do an VCL apps approach in django only for understand the database,
but it's good to see who we sort the models. (specially see
https://github.com/luisza/vcl_django/tree/master/pngs)

Re: need theme testers and input on new theme

Young,

I can play around with some ways to include the logout link next to the name 
block.

The NCSU site is actually using a CMS for everything at vcl.ncsu.edu except 
for vcl.ncsu.edu/scheduling, which is the actual VCL web code.  The themes of 
the CMS and the VCL code are carefully matched closely enough to make them 
look like the same site.

So, to keep the menu bar at the top but display the ASF VCL wiki content, 
we'd need to use an iframe to include the wiki content.  Is something like 
that what you are thinking?  It's an interesting idea.

Thanks,
Josh

Young,

I tried to come up with a way to automatically detect and set the timezone, 
but I couldn't come up with anything I felt was reliable enough.  I don't 
think the list in /usr/share/zoneinfo matches the list of timezones supported 
by php closely enough to do this automatically.  Also, copying the file from 
/usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime is allowed, in which case it wouldn't 
be a link at all.

The use of a colon character in the domain name prevents the vm from starting 
with Error starting domain: Invalid machine name

libvirt can define and undefine a VM with the colon char but cannot start the vm

Re: [jira] [Resolved] (VCL-979) install script - prompt for timezine during installation

2016-09-02 Thread YOUNG OH 
Hi Josh,

I've tested the vcl-install.sh script and it works fine. It changed the
time zone in conf.php.

One thing I would like to suggest is that it would be great if we
automatically set the timezone.

I found that we can get the timezone information from localtime and we
might automatically assign it to the TIMEZONE variable in the
vcl-install.sh.
==
For example, in CentOS 7, we can get the local timezone information from
localtime
#  ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 38 Aug  7 22:48 /etc/localtime ->
../usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York

Then, parsing
# ls -l /etc/localtime | awk -F/ '{print $7 "/" $8}'
America/New_York

Set the value in vcl-install.sh
TIMEZONE=`ls -l /etc/localtime | awk -F/ '{print $7 "/" $8}'`
===

Thanks,
Young

Hi Luis,

Thanks for helping with translation work!

The simplest way to contribute the files would be just to attach them in an 
email to this list.  The next option would be to create an account on JIRA 
(issues.apache.org).  We'd then give you access to create/contribute to 
issues there.  Then, you could attach things to the JIRA issue on 
localization updates for 2.5 (VCL-968).  I just need the vcl.po and 
messages.js files.

The work you're doing with SDN sounds interesting!  I look forward to hearing 
more about it!

Thanks,
Josh

Re: need translation help for 2.5

Hi,

I am working in es_CR translation and I will get ready soon so complete
spanish translation is coming soon, but I am confused about how to submit
my changes.  My background is in git so I know how works a version control
software so in the instructions of previous mail you put inside trunk other
tar.gz (dojo files) that makes some changes in trunk that I don't want to
submit so how can I make a patch with only translation files.

And do you need that I also upload .mo file?

Other thing, I am working with VCL  in Costa Rica specially with network
management system I am trying to incorporate SDN approach in VCL. So in
near future I will share with you my work in the ways that you have
documented for big changes in vcl :)
