Samba4/Andrew and Jelmers Fantasy Page/2010

Plans for fortnight ending 3 April 2008

• Build Farm improvements
  • See if we can use SQLite to get a bit more done
  • make build farm summary page use sqlite
  • host list, by last reported time
  • last reported time on host individual page
  • make build farm send e-mails to dead hosts
• Finish security=server re-implementation in Samba4

Achieved so far

• Very useful Visit to Sam's home company for 2 days
  • Chat with principals to encourage them
  • Jelmer prepared WAFS branch for merging
    • Looks like further development will be upstream, which is great
  • Jelmer did some initial work on tests for proxy code
  • Andrew Started work on 'security=server' re-implementation for Samba4
    • This will allow WAFS to hijack an unsigned connection as a man in the middle attack.
  • Andrew fixed 'make test' to fail if PIDL tests fail
