Hi again,
so now 1.4 is quite ok, we can continue to talk about the 1.6. We already
talk about the pack/modules thing. There are another things I want us to
talk about : python2.4/2.5 and Pyro.
For the first one, such python versions are just deprecated since long, and
it's even possible to have the 2.6 version on debian and RedHat5. So I
think we should change our compatibility level from 2.4 to 2.6.
For Pyro we got a problem about such versions compatibility, and with SSL.
The compatibility force to have the same versions every where. If it's
quite easy on same linux distro, its quite harder when it's time to got
some windows or android inside the arch.
But the real problem is SSL. We exchange quite critical information between
daemons. SSL is not an option, users need it.
But Pyro4 do not support it by default. It force user to have encrypted VPN
or ssh tunnels. But if we look closer, we don't really use the pyro
features that are quite larger that we need.
That's why I'll open a branch for moving pyro to a more classic HTTP
communication. I don't really fear for performances, because 99% of the
communication time is spent on serialize/deserialize the objects, and such
thing won't change if we move the layer level protocol.
Such change can also allow us to proxify distant satellites behind a nginx
or squid for example. this will also make SSL quite easy (ok, it's still
SSL with certificates, so "not so hard").
If you see some things that will block theses changes (will be a problem
with OMD?), let me know before I code them :)
Thanks :)
Jean
