[Queue-developers] 1.20.1 released.

[W. G. K. <wer...@ya...>]

The much anticipated release 1.20.1 is out on Sourceforge.

This fixes

-- job spooling problem in prelease is fixed; jobs will now propagate
after sitting idle on a server if they can't be run.

-- changes to bring Queue in compliance with forthcoming draft protocol.

-- many other changes and fixes to 1.20 pre-release version; see
ChangeLog for complete details.


known problems:

this version probably still has the /dev/tty chown bug (on Debian
systems) when complied without NOROOT--- I need people to help me debug
this better. I guess NOROOT is the more supported usage. :-)

[Queue-developers] clarification of how 1.20.1 operates

[Eric T. <eh...@iC...>]

Since the documentation seems to be out of date WRT version 1.20.1, is
there anything wrong with my understanding here?

On the every host's local filesystem there are (in the standard config):

    /usr/local/var/queue/{now,wait}
    /usr/local/share/qhostsfile

Every host in qhostsfile runs queued

queued accepts work from queue(1) via a socket (NOT by noticing new cf
files in /usr/local/var/queue/...)

queued on each machine maintains its own queue state in
/usr/local/var/queue/{now,...}

Re: [Queue-developers] Internet draft published. [Was: clarification of how 1.20.1 operates]

[W. G. K. <wer...@ya...>]

An internet draft of the protocol used by GNU Queue is now available: 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-krebs-gnuqueue-protocol-00.txt

This describes the protocol used in 1.20.1 (except that 1.20.1 still uses 
TCP/IP, so it is an "experimental implementation" of the Open GNU Queue 
protocol.)

Internet drafts are published (in an horrible ASCII format) for comments from 
the community.

Yes, this is correct. However, the var/queue can still be shared, although it is 
not recommended.
