AMANDA SOFTWARE ISSUES

1
AMANDA SOFTWARE ISSUES

• Current Status
• 1 software coordinator
• 2 distinct free-access CVS archives (UW/DESY)
• 1 official software web-page
• Coordination of development and releases made
• difficult by lack of a responsible person for
  each
• of the existing software sub-packages.
• 1 SC can not attend efficiently multiple requests
  of bug-fixes or upgrades on several packages

• Proposal Ia

CVS archive closed to contributors?
3

• Proposal Ib

CVS archive closed to contributors?

• Software coordinator
• Still, responsible for releases, coordinating bug
  fixes, and general policy issues
• Package responsible
• Actual implementation of fixes/upgrades,
  maintenance of documentation or
• close supervision if someone else implements
  changes.
• Needs detailed knowledge of the package
• In general changes should be discussed before
  implementation and channeled through the package
  responsible and SC

• Independently of the previous points
• Collect information of where do we stand
  concerning usage problems ( answer my
  mail-request! )
• (will publish the list in a web page)
• Go point-by-point solving them
• This should bring the problematic packages to a
• usable state in a reasonable time scale.
