6. INFSOM-RI-026753 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

7. INFSOM-RI-026753 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 - 23-25/05/2007
