These are the items currently in the works or scheduled for development; feel free to add your comments and suggestions.

If you would like to suggest a feature, we would rather ask you to use the bug tracker and submit a bug with "enhancement" severity. Thank you!

Currently working on:

  • man pages for all commands

    • finish elfi man page
    • document briefly elfi-bdii-cache and elfi-bdii-cache-client (these are internal use only, so this is low priority)
  • documentation and the website

  • more detailed error logging and reporting

    • replace generic, catch-all error messages with details about what ELFI tried to do, and what actually failed, so that users at least get a clue. (I think this is of the utmost importance, since on the Grid there will always be a high chance of hitting incorrectly/improperly configured sites.)
  • better handling of error conditions

    • restart the elfi-bdii-cache daemon if it dies

Scheduled for development

  • refactor the core in C++
  • add caching layer (after refactoring)
  • add support for more transfer protocols
  • in the bdii cache subsystem, add support for more control protocol for each SE.

Need to find time to do

  • automated creation of FUSE kernel module RPMs? matching released CERN kernels
    • maybe this way:
      • watch SLC3 download directory; when a new kernel appears, download the sources
      • rebuild FUSE RPM pointing the ./configure to the unpacked kernel sources
  • port to ETICS build system
