Folks, here's a thumbnail sketch of Arusha stuff that's changed in CVS land, which hasn't been mentioned before. * Bugs are still being fixed in the ARK engine (ARK/arkbase/) after the misnamed "ARK2" switch. I expect this to continue :-( * Unit testing stuff for said engine is slowly taking shape in ARK/arkbase/ark/*tests.py. I also expect this to continue (hooray!). * I've tried to do good things with the ArkHost.run(...) method [it runs some code on a host], but have mostly failed; I'll send a separate message about this... * I made a sidaiTemplatePerHost method (sorry, Jonathan), that parallels sidaiM4perHost(). (I want to lose most of the m4 stuff.) * We now have the new-and-totally up-to-date 'ersh' script (v 4.0) from Maarten Litmaath. * Matt has done some Very Cool stuff with sidai/user-setup/ (a way of having site-wide .profile/.cshrc/.emacs etc). Instead of having to maintain parallel sets of bits for bourne/c-shell users, he's got a cool hack that lets you say it just once; see the common.* files... (Now we just need common.compctl [completion control] :-) * The usual march of progress with installing more packages that do more stuff. Please holler if there's anything you want to know more about. Snapshots in ftp://ark.sourceforge.net/pub/ark; I'm not refreshing the web pages at this time. Will
