David A. April 10 2002 Initial checkin of all files. The system is fairly feature-complete and runs a number of test cases correctly. Currently runs only on Linux. David A. April 11 2002 - Got things to compile on Solaris. - Pass in platform name, version number from Makefile (platform name comes from configure) David A. May 15 2002 - Allow applications to have multiple files (e.g. scripts, libraries, pre- and post-processing programs). The app_version table now has an xml_doc field, which contains a list of and elements. Note: the utility for adding applications (tools/add.C) still handles only single-file applications. - Changed IO_FILE_DESC to FILE_REF since it now represents an association of a file to workunit, result or application client app.C client_state.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C main.C message.h (new) parse.C,h scheduler_reply.C,h types.C,h Makefile.in db db.h db_mysql.C schema.sql doc app.html (new) files.html index.html intro.html project.gif project.html project.png protocol.html result.html (new) work.html html_user db.inc sched handle_request.C server_types.C,h test test_uc.php init.inc tools add.C David A. May 23 2002 - Change the scheduling server to reduce database accesses. There's now a shared-memory segment that contains 1) the platform, app, and app_version tables in their entirety; 2) a fixed-size set of results ready to be sent, and their corresponding workunit. This segment is initialized and maintained by a new program called the "feeder" (sched/feeder.C) that should run whenever the scheduling server is up. Note: the scheduler still needs to be converted to fast CGI - Added handy interfaces for dealing with shared memory and semaphores. - Changed to utilities and scripts used for testing so that all server-specific names (paths and URLs) come from environment variables instead of being hardwired in the code. You'll want to add these to your .tcshrc or whatever. See the doc/install.html for details.

Fri May 24 23:34:59 PDT 2002 files db/dependencies and client/config.status and client/config.log removed. These are build time files and should not belong in the source tree. They confuse subsequent builds. files updated: configure configure.in api/Makefile.in apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in db/Makefile.in db/mysql.h lib/Makefile.in sched/Makefile.in tools/Makefile.in These Makefile.in changes will allow the build to be performed outside the source tree. This is convenient for several reasons. The number one reason is that this allows the source tree to remain untouched by the build and therefore clean. This will prevent garbage build files from being checked in during a 'cvs commit' To run a build outside the source tree, simply make an object directory anywhere else that you would like to work, then just execute the configure script in the top-level boinc directory. $ mkdir boincobj $ cd boincobj $ <... path to source tree ...>/boinc/configure $ make > make.out 2>&1 & Note the examples in apps/Makefile.in and sched/Makefile.in of how to use the top_srcdir variable to locate include files in the source tree outside of the current directory. Local references to other object files and libraries produced by the build remain as local .. references. The change to configure.in, (and thus configure) and db/mysql.h allow a proper identification of where the mysql .h files live. The SSL location of /usr/local/mysql/include is a bit non-standard. Most systems will have these in /usr/local/include/mysql Hiram C. Sat May 25 09:20:25 PDT 2002 Continue updating: Makefile.in config.guess configure configure.in api/Makefile.in apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in client/config.guess client/configure client/configure.in sched/Makefile.in tools/Makefile.in I have almost clean builds now on Solaris, Mac OS X, and UnixWare. There appears to be a missing sched_shmem.h file from the source tree. There is still cruft in this configure system. I will continue to work on it to clean it up. David A. May 29, 2002 - Mostly implemented support for editing preferences, including project-specific preferences. Simplified the preferences scheme. Abandoned the idea of multiple preference sets per user; each user now has a single set of preferences. Got rid of the "prefs" database table; prefs are now just an XML and mod_time field in the user table. Haven't tested much yet. NOTE: these new features use the XML parsing features of PHP. This means that, on the BOINC web server, you must configure PHP with the --with-xml option, and you must make and install Apache. Also, you probably need to use a recent version of PHP; XML parsing was broken in PHP 4.0.4, but it works in 4.2.1. client/ Makefile.in speed_stats.C (fixed code formatting a bit; doesn't compile on linux) db/ Makefile.in db.h db_mysql.C schema.sql doc/ prefs.html html_user/ db.inc prefs.inc prefs.php prefs_action.php (removed) prefs_add_project_action.php (new) prefs_add_project_form.php (new) prefs_delete_project.php (new) prefs_delete_project_confirm.php (new) prefs_edit.php (removed) prefs_edit_disk_action.php (new) prefs_edit_disk_form.php (new) prefs_edit_project_action.php (new) prefs_edit_project_form.php (new) prefs_edit_projects.php (new) prefs_edit_work_action.php (new) prefs_edit_work_form.php (new) test.php (removed) sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h test/ init.inc test_1sec.php test_concat.php test_dynamic.php test_prefs.php test_projects.php test_stderr.php test_uc.php test_uc_slow.php tools/ add.C David A. May 29, 2002 - forgot to add a couple of files sched/ feeder.C sched_shmem.C,h Hiram C. Thu May 30 01:28:47 PDT 2002 updating: client/configure client/configure.in client/net_xfer.C sched/Makefile.in sched/feeder.C This now builds just fine on Solaris, Linux and OpenUnix8. And only two tiny errors remain for a Mac OS X build. That being the specification of g++ in the sched/Makefile and statvfs() is not available on the Mac for the client/hostinfo_unix.C compile. Need a substitute for that function on the Mac. Eric H. May 30, 2002 Added safeguard to avoid removing root directory when BOINC_DOWNLOAD_DIR and BOINC_UPLOAD_ DIR environment variables aren't declared. test/ init.inc David A. June 1, 2002 - Ensure that preferences propagate from the server where they are updated to all hosts, and from there to the servers of other project. Eliminated concept of "home project". Not tested yet. Also to do: replace the "accounts.xml" file with a file containing preferences. - Changed the way the client handles preferences. It now saves saves the exact XML it gets from the server, regardless of whether it can parse it all. - Fixed client parsing code to reflect new names for preferences - Changed the way the scheduling server handles prefs in a client/server interaction. If it gets newer prefs, it updates its own DB. If its DB has newer prefs, it sends them to client. - Fixed the test scripts so that they start/stop the feeder also. This required adding a "ready" flag to the shared-mem structure so that the scheduling server can find out if the feeder hasn't finished initializing the structure. Also required adding a "-synch" cmdline option to feeder. - added utility program (sched/show_shmem.C) for looking at scheduler shared memory - renamed "types.*" to "client_types.*" to avoid name conflict with system include files /Makefile (removed - this is derived from Makefile.in) client/ Makefile.in accounts.C,h app.C client_state.C,h client_types.C,h (new) cs_files.C cs_scheduler.C file_names.h file_xfer.h hostinfo_unix.C net_xfer.C prefs.C,h scheduler_reply.C,h speed_stats.C types.C,h (removed) db/ constraints.sql doc/ protocol.html html_user prefs.inc sched/ feeder.C handle_request.C main.C sched_shmem.h server_types.C,h show_shmem.C (new) ss_reply_file (removed) ss_req_file (removed) test/ account1.xml init.inc sched_reply.xml (removed) sched_request.xml (removed) test_uc.php tools/ add.C Eric Heien June 03, 2002 - Consolidated XML parsing functions into lib - Fixed compile bug on Solaris in shmem.C client/ parse.C (moved to lib) parse.h (moved to lib) Makefile.in lib/ parse.C (moved from client) parse.h (moved from client) shmem.C sched/ parse.C (removed, uses lib version now) parse.h (removed, uses lib version now) Makefile.in Michael Gary June 04, 2002 - Added server side water level functionality, now sends as many work units as necessary to fill the time requested. sched/ handle_request.C Eric Heien June 06, 2002 - Changes and additions made to begin porting to Windows. - This code will compile on Windows, but is not quite fully functional. client/ hostinfo_unix.C hostinfo_win.C (added) http.C main.C net_xfer.C prefs.C speed_stats.C test_file_xfer.C test_http.C test_net_xfer.C util.C util.h windows_cpp.h (added) win_main.C (added) lib/ md5.c parse.C Michael Gary June 06, 2002 - Added client side water level functionality. - Added rsc_fpops and rsc_iops to the client WORKUNIT struct, bun not yet functional since not initialized. - Test scripts to check water level functionality, including minima and maxima.

NOTE: this will work fine for downloading files (GET) but we'll have to use something else for upload, since the standard PUT handler doesn't do offsets, and we need security functionality in any case. - added preliminary version of application API for communicating with core client. - use tags instead of and (makes things simpler) TODO notes api/ api.C,h client/ configure.in client_state.C client_types.C,h cs_files.C error_numbers.h file_xfer.h http.C,h pers_file_xfer.C,h test_http.C html_ops/ db.php html_user/ db.inc test/ 1sec_result account2.xml *_result *_wu init.inc laptop_prefs.xml test_*.php tools/ add.C David A June 13 2002 - added the RSAEuro library to the project, and some interface routines for it.
