Thus the first point. Switching to Guile is next, because I am right now making friends with the Guile code and the Guile developers ;) I am willing to assist with this. An embedded Serveez would be great, and our user input says that this is a feature very useful to people. Dynamic loading is just too cool to let it out, so it's next. The remaining points are ordered by feeling only, except that ipv6 comes last. I think it's important, too, but difficult since Serveez is based on ipv4 heavily (IIRC).

'mgrabmue -- Martin Grabmueller mgr...@cs... http://www.pintus.de/mgrabmue/ mgrabmue@#lkcc on EFnet ===File ~/StandardAnswers=================================== Brave GNU World standard questions: ----------------------------------- * What is it? Serveez is a server framework. It provides routines and help for implementing IP based servers (currently TCP, UDP and ICMP). It is also possible to use named pipes for all connection oriented protocols. We think it is worth the effort because many people need server functionality within their applications. However, many people experience problems with select()- or poll()-loops and non-blocking operations. This application demonstrates various aspects of advanced network programming in a portable manner. It is known to compile and run on 32 bit and 64 bit Un*x flavours as well as on M$ Windows (9x/ME/NT/2000). You can use it for implementing your own servers or for understanding how certain network services and operations work. The package includes a number of servers that work already: a HTTP server, an IRC server, a Gnutella spider and some others. One of the highlights is that you can run all protocols on the same port. The application itself is single threaded but it uses helper processes for concurrent name resolution and ident lookups. * Who would use it? Our "target" groups are - users, looking for a special server, - users, wildly testing servers for everything, - programmers, looking for some code snippets and - admins (bofh), asked to install it. * Why would they use it instead of similar projects? They should use it because it is fully covered by the GPL. It is much easier to setup compared to other (commercial) software. * Special features/strengths? - very portable across Unices - sophisticated configuration language (Scheme) - can be monitored/tuned while running via a telnet session * Special problems? - Adding servers requires hacking the distribution source * Who is working on it? Serveez was originally written by Martin Grabmueller <mgr...@cs...>. The maintainership has been shifted over to Raimund Jacob <ra...@lk...> and Stefan Jahn <st...@lk...>. * Plans for the close and distant future? This is an excerpt from our pending tasks: - Make serveez embeddable (create libserveez.[so | dll]). - Implement dynamic server loading capabilities. - Consider Guile as configuration file parser. - Some solution for upcoming IPv6 ? - Content-Range implementation for Gnutella and HTTP. * Do you need help? If so: of what kind? Testers willing to compile and run Serveez on strange platforms under weird setups, and testers with the necessary hardware to do big-scale stress testing. * Interesting/fun stories that might juice up the story? * Website/FTP addresses? The full user and developer documentation can always be obtained at http://www.textsure.net/~ela/serveez/. There you will find news, the source ChangeLog and a lot more information about the package in general. Soon accessible from the http://www.gnu.org/software page. * License?! It is covered by the standard General Public License. * Standard documents to read in this context? * Anything you would like to see mentioned? * Answer to a question I forgot? NOTE: Everything you want me to read should be attached to the mail, because very often I will take my mail with me and read it where I don't have access to the net. ============================================================ |

Subject: Re: Serveez
This will be our UDP example server in version 0.0.20. The last pending
task on our side is a complete review of the project documentation. Work
is in progress...
I hereby dub Serveez a GNU program, starting with version 0.0.20.
Could you please tell us, what we should consider if we are going to make
it a GNU package ? Are you actually intending to add Serveez to the GNU
system and to host it at gnu.org ?
We can host it there if you like. The web pages, at least, should be
on www.gnu.org. Where you put the repository and the ftp site is up
to you.
Please don't forget to mention prominently in the README file and
other suitable documentation places that it is a GNU program.
The new-gnu people will mail you a file, maintain.text, which
describes a lot of procedures for GNU maintainers. The file also
describes who you can ask for various kinds of support or advice. If
you encounter a situation where it isn't clear what to do, you can
also ask me...@gn..., which is a list of a few other GNU
maintainers who have offered to answer questions for new maintainers.
They will also add you to the gnu-prog mailing list, a moderated list
for announcements to GNU maintainers. They will also add you to the
gnu-prog-disc list, which can be used for discussion among GNU
maintainers, but whether to stay on the list is up to you.
Would you like to make ftp.gnu.org the distribution site?
If so, please tell ftp...@gn... when you have
a version to release. If you need, we can make an acct for
you on ftp.gnu.org so you can install new versions.
We invite you to put the CVS repository on subversions.gnu.org,
but it is ok to use another site if you prefer.
Could you please write some web pages about the program, to put on
www.gnu.org? The main web site for a GNU package should be on
www.gnu.org, not just a link to elsewhere. Please follow the style
guidelines in http://www.gnu.org/server/fsf-html-style-sheet.html, and
send the pages to web...@gn... when you are done.
Please also write an entry or a change for the page
http://www.gnu.org/people/people.html, and mail that to
web...@gn... also. Note that we don't want to talk about
proprietary software, so if you have worked on any, please don't
mention it here. Your entry can include a link to your home page
provided it fits our usual criteria for what we link to.
Please fill out an entry about your program for our Free Software
Directory. Please contact jc...@gn... for more info about this.
Please talk with ne...@gn... about creating the mailing lists that
you need. There should be at least one, bug...@gn..., for
reporting bugs. Please tell them whether you would like this list to
be open to the public or just an alias going to whoever you choose.
Also please say whether you would like to have a public archive of the
list.
If there are a few alternative names that might be natural for users
to use, let's make all the aliases that might be useful. If you want
these lists to be aliases for lists on your site, that is ok; ask
new-gnu to set them up that way.
Some GNU programs have another mailing list, hel...@gn...,
for people to ask other users for help. And some programs have a list
inf...@gn... for sending announcements to the users. (These
are often moderated.) Please think about whether such lists are
appropriate for this program; please ask for them if you want them.
Please mail an announcement to inf...@gn... about the existence of
the program, either when the program is released, or now if the
program is already released. Include a brief description of the
program so people can tell whether they are interested in using it.
Mention the web pages on www.gnu.org and say where to get the program
by ftp.
new-gnu people, could you please enter Stefan Jahn in gnuorg/maintainers,
add him to the gnu-prog lists, and send him a copy of maintain.text?

We discussed it and decided to release version 0.0.19 which is the last
known to include the Quake II license server. We'll replace it by
something like "netdate" or "echo" for educational purposes in the
upcoming version 0.0.20. Please tell us if this makes Serveez GNU'able
then.
Yes, it will.
We will inform you about the upcoming release if you want to.
Please do tell me when you are ready to make 0.0.20,
and we can make it a GNU package for that release.

It is available at: http://www.textsure.net/~ela/download/serveez-0.0.19.tar.gz Notes ===== This release will be the last known to include the Quake III license server which we are going to drop due to legacy reasons and the support of commercial software which is not the aim of the GNU project. News ==== * allowing `~user' syntax for http requests * the http server got a configurable access logfile * port forwarder (Tunnel Server) can be enabled via --enable-tunnel * basic support for ICMP servers * package is available at www.freshmeat.net and www.sourceforge.net * cgi application associations possible in the http server * daemon support via command line option Due to difficulties with the upload server of SourceForge the release is not yet available there. st...@lk... |

Yes. The q3key server can be busted. We'll do so this week or so. The
dynamic loading must be postponed until 0.1.x is relaesed :) too much work
for 0.0.x...
