I've spent dozens of hours the past work working on some threaded code and I'm happy with what I have now. I'll shortly be committing it to cvs as soon as I remember how to commit to the right branches. For a little longer I'm going to keep threads as a seperate branch until I'm happy with the results. In some quick testing, a threaded version took only 80% of the time that the non-threaded version took and I think this number can be improved further. A key thing will making things so that they are self-tuning. I talked to someone who was willing to try a BeOS port of the code. I don't remember if he subscribed to the list or not. I'd also like to find people to do ports to freebsd, openbsd, and netbsd. Ask your friends. I was talking to a friend of mine about the project and he made the comment that it sounds like we were building a framework for building backup applications. I like the sound of that and it's a closer description of what I have planned in my head for mbackup, so I'm going to change some of the sourceforge descriptions. I'm going to post a help wanted on sourceforge and try and find someone to do the xml config file stuff. I'd really like to get some movement happening again. I can't think of anything else off-hand. -james |
