Icecast Archiving Daemon / News: Recent posts

I'm updating the status of icyard for the good faith that someone is using it out there. Icyard has been in production use for WTBU (http://www.wtburadio.org) for more than 2 years, and we never had any problems with it, so I've decided to label the project both mature and inactive.

A plan is going in parallel with Slurpcast (http://cs-people.bu.edu/liulk/slurpcast), a streaming server written in Objective CAML (http://caml.inria.fr), to create a stream archive client, again, in the Objective CAML language. It will be a new project.

actually, icyard's official homepage was up before i ever setup this sourceforge project. but i just put up more links to link from here to there, and there to here. links are good. you can click on the project "home page" link to go there.

it's been put through a month of production environment. i'm continuing other aspects of effort besides the main icyard itself. for example, i'm putting together a cgi-bin program to serve as the front end for icyard's archived files.

i do not have a release plan laid out yet because i don't think it is in a hurry. if you do want it, just pull it off CVS and it's ready there. i have yet to work on more documentation such as installation instruction. am i going to make some automated installation script? i don't know. depends on you. i personally know too well about the project and i don't care. if you need it, i'll write one.... read more

The 0.9-dev version, though crude, has actually been put on production for a month. it should perform reasonably fine (with documented quirks and stuff). Make sure you read the pod files in the /doc directory. So far i have no plan on releasing a tarball, but you can go ahead and grab a copy from CVS.
