Samba4/Andrew and Jelmers Fantasy Page/2010
From SambaWiki
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
- Finish ncacn_http implementation
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
