[xmlsysinfo-talk] Project status

[Moritz G. <md...@gm...>]

Hello subscribers,


as it is now bleeding obvious, various reasons caused the XSI project to
plunge into despair and neglect. I am now trying to "reboot" the whole
thing.

When I started it, my life circumstances allowed me to work on XSI
almost full-time over long periods. This hasn't been the case for a long
time now, and various other projects of higher immediate importance ate
up all the remaining free time.

XSI needs to adapt to these changes, to be able to move forward. As part
of the cleaning process, I will shut down anything non-essential related
to project management, soon.

Among other things, these mailing lists have shown to be completely
superfluous and will go away. All these SourceForge features are nice
and shiny, but well ... something like XSI does not need community
self-support, at least not now.

If you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact me directly under
my new address mgrimm at mrsserver dot net.

In any case, thanks for being here!

A few last words:
- Unless something really unforeseen happens, XSI and related things are
  not dead. I for myself still have use for a networked system monitor
  that Just Works.
- Still, no guarantees on the "when". Things will, overall, progress
  slowly.
- There will be an extensive overhaul of the code base eventually, as
  well as an "XSI Aggregator" of sorts that collects information from
  hosts running XSI.
- It is of high priority to achieve the former without changing the
  output XSL schema in a major-version-1 release. If that turns out to
  be impossible, there will be XSI 2 (with as few output changes as
  possible.)
- *Maybe* some kind of front-end, but it'll be an ugly mock-up. I suck
  at GUIs.


All the best,

Moritz

[xmlsysinfo-talk] Xsi manager and client

[Fabrizio R. <fre...@gm...>]

Hi everybody!

Does anybody know if there's a client project for xmlsysinfo?
I was looking for a program like this to grab system status  
informations to a flash client.
Xml is the best choiche for such purpose, so I'm glad i found it.
The thing I'd like to craft would be something like a 'multi server  
status control panel', which is probably not much different from what  
nagios already does.

Nagios does a lot of stuff actually, and I was first wondering on how  
to translate nagios data file into xml to be pushed to the flash client.
Then I found Xsi, which seems a better solution to me, and I'd like to  
invest some time on it.
There's a lot of stuff to work on an I'd know if there's some thougth  
around it at the moment.

Is the project willing to evolve, or is this the hadline?

Thanks, bye

 From the looks of your configure.log file, I'd say that you're missing
 
a C++ compiler. Try to find and install the appropriate g++ package for
 FC4.


Hth,

[xmlsysinfo-talk] Unable to link with libxml

[tyju t. <jck...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble compiling xsi on Red Hat Fedora Core 4.
When running the configure script I get "Unable to link with libxml"?

I have libxml2-devel installed ... not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ty

[xmlsysinfo-talk] XMLSysInfo 1.0-beta0 released

[Moritz G. <gt...@gm...>]

Hi,


today, xsi-1.0-beta0.tar.gz has been released:

This milestone release of XMLSysInfo comes with a large amount of
changes, including new features, bug and consistency fixes, cleanups
and other improvements. With the development status changed to
"beta", the XML Schema is frozen and only bugfixes are allowed from
now on. Both XMLSysInfo and the Schema have new versioning schemes,
which provide more flexibility while retaining a strict meaning
about compatibility between versions.

The release note and the changes between 0.98.30 and 1.0-beta0 can be 
found here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=185140&release_id=477512


Moritz

P.S.: The new versioning scheme is explained in xsi-output.html, in the 
"schema_version" and "xsi_version" attribute tables.
