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
- maybe this way:
- port to ETICS build system
