[Dazuko-devel] 2.0.1-pre1 posted

[John Ogness]

Hi,

I have posted the pre-release version 2.0.1-pre1. This version fixes the 
FreeBSD problem resolving local filenames (causing missed events). It 
also has full support for FreeBSD 5. My next target platform will most 
likely be Darwin (MacOS X). However, I first want to look into using a 
stackable filesystem rather than hooking file system calls. Hooking file 
system calls is really ugly and it is the one thing that causes other 
kernel developers to frown upon the Dazuko Project.

This version also integrated a new patch that I developed, which allows 
the ON_OPEN event to be generated when files are created. This event has 
been requested for a long time. Unfortunately this event cannot be 
blocked. This is because of my dependency on kernel functions to resolve 
file names based on existing inodes.

Another issue that has been brought to my attention is the file 
structure of the dazuko tgz. It is disorganized, non-intuitive, and 
ugly. The next pre-release will almost certainly have a completely new 
structure. Something like:

src
src/lib/c
src/lib/java
src/example/c
src/example/java
bin
lib
modules

The configure script will handle all of this, so that it will still be 
easy to build the Dazuko components. The difference is that it should be 
easier for people to find what they've built. Specifically, the examples 
would be put in the "bin" dir, the interface libs in the "lib" dir, and 
the kernel module in the "modules" dir.
