New job patch for 2.6.10. New implementations(jobfs)!

Hi there,

I uploaded a new JOB patch for 2.6.10. This new job patch has a major change
on the job kernel user communication interface. A new small virtual filesystem
called jobfs is implemented to replace the binary ioctl call interface.

Also I uploaded the job-1.5.0-0.2.i386.rpm and job-1.5.0-0.2.src.rpm,
the job userland library and command package. Job library is the middle layer
between job kernel module and job applications, it communicates with kernel
through the jobfs virtual filesystem, and it provides the SAME interface
to job applications through /usr/lib/libjob.so. So your current job
applications should work without any change.

You can get the new patch and new rpm at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/pagg/download/

linux-2.6.10-job.patch-1 should be applied after linux-2.6.10-pagg.patch
(or linux-2.6.10-pagg.patch-2).

Visit http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pagg/ for more information about PAGG
and JOB.

Please check them out and have fun, let me know if you have any problems.
