INFSOM-RI Major Tasks Performed A3.2 Deploy, adapt and maintain the software configuration tools – –Deployment performed by Alberto – –Consists on testing and producing each ETICS release – –Maintenance performed by Alberto, Meb and WP3 people – –Consists on bug fixing – –Adaptation performed by Alberto, Meb and WP3 people – –From October – –New features: local editing, accounting, scheduler, man pages – –Improvements: checkout, packager, build, support for new platforms (started for Windows and Debian), edit operations, security 5 ETICS 3rd All-Hands Meeting - University of Wisconsin, Madison /05/2007

INFSOM-RI Major Tasks Performed Local editing: configuration and module are locally handled correctly. The command etics-commit is planned for June together with the roll back mechanism. Accounting: ready Scheduler: This functionality has been implemented in the new command etics-submit

INFSOM-RI Major Tasks Performed From Alberto – –Build command: for the moment there are no open critical issues that I know of, only working in maintenance mode. I’m adding a new feature to create lists of the packages built during a build and create a report with the report generator. It’s partially done, the last missing bit is the list of run-time dependencies packages (only build-time packages are listed now). The integration with the report generator is done. This is required to perform the deployment tests needed by JRA1 – –Support for Windows: for the moment this is done on low priority. I would like to have a script to install the client on Windows, but packaging will not be available before the Summer – –Support for Debian: the client installs fine on Debian, but I need to add a check for the required dependencies to warn users of missing packages. I will start the implementation of the Debian packager next week – –Extension of RPM spec file features: not done, but we know how to do it. It will be added after Debian support, unless it become more critical. 7 ETICS 3rd All-Hands Meeting - University of Wisconsin, Madison /05/2007

INFSOM-RI Major Tasks Performed A3.3 Identify interoperability metrics based on software configuration items, and provide information collectors for the reporting engine – –From October –IPv6 plugin (ready for test) Test the compliance with the Ipv6 standard –WSI plugin (ready for test) Check the compliance of WSDL with the T.A.D. distributed by WS-I –D3.2 - –D3.2 - Interoperability reports specifications and configuration, build and integration system (prototype) – –M.
