[Sipdht-devel] Possible roadmap

[Enrico M. <enr...@te...>]

I've talked to Kai Vehmanen, a sofia-sip developer, and he suggested a
trick for icluding new headers without patching the stack.  This has
made me think about a possible roadmap for the evolution of sipdht:

1.1. implementing the mechanism for run-time loading of DHT-* headers in
     sofia-sip stack;
1.2. writing man pages for sipdht, sipdhtp, sipdhtg and sipdhtq (actual
     documentation in README should be a good starting point);
1.3. releasing sipdht version 0.2, .tgz, .rpm and .src.rpm (and possibly
     .deb);

2.1. splitting the project in two modules: libsipdht and sipdht-tools.
     The former will be a dynamic loadable library usable in custom
     applications, while the latter will include sipdht* tools;
2.2. writing doxygen documentation for library functions (actual
     documentation in .h files should be a good starting point);
2.3. releasing libsipdht 0.1 and sipdht-tools 0.1, .tgz, .rpm,
     .src.rpm and -doc.rpm (and possibly also .deb and -doc.deb).

Milestone 1.3 is very important, because it allows to release sipdht
packages depending from official sofia-sip releases (also there, they
are spending some effort for generating binary distributions).  I guess
I can apply for reaching 1.1 it in a couple of weeks (right now I'm very
busy in writing Internet drafts I can't delay :-( ).  If we don't find
anyone willing to write man pages, I think we could skip 1.2 and release
version 0.2 with missing documentation.

Then, I care much about milestone 2.3 because it would let easily
integrate sipdht in applications.  I think we can get there in the first
half of September.

I would appreciate any comment and if you think you can help in any of
these items, you are welcome.
