[Saturn-devel] Re: Patches

[Fabio A M. <fab...@gm...>]

 Jorge:

 I'm trying to reorganize .pm files in order to better fit into the 
Event-Job model, including changing the database. I'm also starting to 
develop GUI, using Perl/GTK (I'm still learning, but I'll have something 
useful soon).

 The code already done will be reintegrated into the new file 
organization, and no code will be discarded, including yours, the 
reorganization was already planed to happen this way.

 About MySQL support, I really hope to have MySQL support at any time, 
my concern about this is only the setup routines that must be slightly 
different.

 Until the reorganization is done I think that you can send patches to 
me, and I'll patch it into CVS.

 About the reorganization.

 I think that you are already familiar with the Event-Job model. If not, 
please reply for a better explanation.

 The reorganization consists in separating the Job management (sql 
routines) and execution in a separeted file, the same happens with Event 
management and triggering. So, each file stores more specific contents. 
The database have also changed in order to support a better Event-Job 
relation, including having a single job to be triggered by several 
different events, to support other kinds of event, instead of only 
crontab-like events, and to enhance the support of time events, 
including the 'at' fuctionality and also limited number of execution of 
each event.

 Due to the increasing complexicity of the database  I think that CLI is 
becoming too complicated, because now we need more and more options 
besides the ones already existing, of course that we'll probably still 
have CLI, mainly to do trivial tasks, like at-like commands. So a GUI is 
needed for basic administration, it'll probably be developed using Perl/GTK
 
 Perl will be used, again, just to keep a single language in use. GTK 
will be used, in version 2, because of eye-candy when copared to TK.

 One more thing.

 I'm sending you a copy, and this message is being sent to the mailing list:
 . sat...@li...

 Hope you understand that this is the right way to the developers to 
communicate.

 Fabio.
