[Elsa-user] Released ELSA-0.8

[Guillaume T. <gui...@bu...>]

Hello,

 Here is ELSA 0.8

 In this release we replace all python scripts by only two scripts. The
user space application 'elsa.py' will use information provided by the
user space job daemon and the information provided by a per-process
accounting mechanism (like BSD process accounting) to provide a
per-group accounting information. Script 'jobmng.py' is the interface to
manage groups of processes. Those two scripts are renamed 'elsa' and
'jobmng' during the installation. The ChangeLog shows several others
minors improvements.


ChangeLog:

Fri Apr 29 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <gui...@bu...>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 0.8

Wed Apr 27 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <gui...@bu...>

	* Makefile: Don't install elsa/ directory because there is a
		conflict with name. So C files are always here but not
		compiled by default.
	
	* utils/Makefile: Remove .py extension when installing python scripts.

	* utils/elsa.py: This script replace the former analyzer.c, 
		acctv3dump.py and jobmsgdump.py.

	* utils/acctv3dump.py: This file is replaced by utils/elsa.py.

	* utils/jobmsgdump.py: This file is replaced by utils/elsa.py.
	
	* utils/elsad: Implement the recovery of the status. It's more a hack
		than a clean solution.
	
	* man/elsa.1: Replace the old elsa.py.1. We change the name because
		during the installation, elsa.py is renamed elsa
	
	* man/jobmng.1: Rename jobmng.1.py to jobmng.1. We change the name 
		because during the installation, jobmng.py is renamed jobmng

	* utils/elsad: Rename elsa in elsad.
		
Thu Apr 25 2005 Nguyen Anh Quynh <aq...@gm...>

	* patch/{connector.h,cn_fork.h}: New files. Copy those two files to 
		/usr/include/linux if needed. We do that to make 
		compilation easier for users.

	* Rules.mk: Use new variable INSTALL_DIR, INSTALL_DATA, INSTALL_PROG
		and RC. Use ':=' instead of '='.

	* all Makefiles: Use new variable INSTALL_DIR, INSTALL_DATA and 
		INSTALL_PROG.

	* Makefile: Copy header files to /usr/include/linux with the new 
		target 'header'.
	
	* man/Makefile: Install man pages into /usr/share/man to follow FSF 
		rules and gzip the man pages when installing.

	* utils/Makefile: install elsa daemon script into /etc/init.d and 
		/etc/rcN.d.

	* utils/elsa: use PREFIX variable.

	* job_daemon/Makefile: Remove '-I .'.

	* job_daemon/jobd.c: Include "jobd.h" instead of <jobd.h>.

Thu Apr 21 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <gui...@bu...>

	* patch/linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm4-cnfork.patch: Replace module_init() by
		__initcall() and remove module_exit() because the fork 
		connector cannot be used as a module.

	* utils/elsa: Add a new script that can be added in /etc/init.d 
		in order to manage the start/stop job daemon.

	* utils/jobmng.py: Rename elsa.py to jobmng.py (job manager).

	* man/jobmng.py.1: Rename elsa.py.1 to jobmng.py.1.

	* man/Makefile: Add a makefile to install/uninstall/clean man pages.

Thu Apr 21 2005 Nguyen Anh Quynh <aq...@gm...>

	* Rules.mk: Use PREFIX variable for all installed directories 
		since the old BINDIR, SBINDIR and MANDIR all share the 
		same prefix, so this change makes the Makefiles(s) clearer 
		and more scale (Rules.mk. also see other changes to reflex 
		this update in all Makefiles).

	* all Makefile: See comments above. Also, use INSTALL and RM for 
		intallation and remove in all install and uninstall target. 
		Fixe the current problem in the man/Makefile: if 
		/usr/local/man/man1 doesnt exist, "make -C man install" will 
		fail. That's why we must use "INSTALL = install -D".

	* man/Makefile: See comments above. Also, "make -C man install" now 
		"gzip" the man files in MANDIR.

	* patch/linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm4-cnfork.patch: Isolate changes to 
		connector.h to a separate file include/linux/cn_fork.h.
		Reflex new change to fork.c and cn_fork.c, now we include 
		cn_fork.h instead of connector.h.
