r8103 | jmason | 2006-11-24 14:27:37 +0000 (Fri, 24 Nov 2006) | 1 line

fix platform-specific tests: must use 'use constant' in the conditional variables, otherwise the tests appear to be failing on win32 platforms when in fact we're just trying to skip them (see http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/377405 for example)

calling visit_all_jobs() with a nonexistent queue directory triggered some broken error-handling code, resulting in a die(); fixed.  thanks to Keith Amling, http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21312

r3565 | jmason | 2006-03-01 11:46:42 +0000 (Wed, 01 Mar 2006) | 1 line

support running the tests with a perl that isn't /usr/bin/perl, e.g. after running '/usr/local/perl561/bin/perl Makefile.PL; make; make test'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r3564 | jmason | 2006-03-01 11:45:54 +0000 (Wed, 01 Mar 2006) | 1 line

The utime() idiom being used to touch files and directories was only added in perl 5.7.2.  Add backwards-compat code to deal with the 5.6.x callers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2480 | jmason | 2006-02-03 23:33:17 +0000 (Fri, 03 Feb 2006) | 1 line

oops, indexd t scripts required POE, so the tests failed if that module wasn't installed.  make them optional and not run if POE isn't installed

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2354 | jmason | 2006-01-03 02:07:51 +0000 (Tue, 03 Jan 2006) | 1 line

make the 600-second active-lock timeout configurable; document it better; and reconcile code behaviour with what the documentation says it does re behaviour when a stale lock occurs on a task supposedly active on a remote system (doco wins)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2353 | jmason | 2006-01-03 01:38:35 +0000 (Tue, 03 Jan 2006) | 1 line

patch from Anton Berezin <tobez.at.tobez.org>: return reference of sorted files list internally, and use built-in sort instead of a { $a cmp $b } callback.  Both are good for speed of ordered dequeuing
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2303 | jmason | 2005-12-09 01:32:51 +0000 (Fri, 09 Dec 2005) | 1 line

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2300 | jmason | 2005-12-09 01:30:43 +0000 (Fri, 09 Dec 2005) | 1 line

add 'dq-indexd', an index daemon for use on heavily congested NFS networks, to offload indexing tasks away from NFS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2299 | jmason | 2005-12-09 01:25:03 +0000 (Fri, 09 Dec 2005) | 1 line

increase timeouts so tests still work across very slow NFS links
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2295 | jmason | 2005-12-03 01:50:42 +0000 (Sat, 03 Dec 2005) | 1 line

add dq-indexd, an optional, experimental central server to maintain DQ indexes, instead of using readdir() filesystem APIs; fix race condition in wait_for_queued_job() that can result in missing jobs enqueued inside the same 1-second window; add code to test scripts to ensure that queue directories are empty at end-of-test, which is how this bug was caught
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2294 | jmason | 2005-12-02 01:26:52 +0000 (Fri, 02 Dec 2005) | 1 line

refactor queue-fanout code out of the mainline a little more cleanly
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2293 | jmason | 2005-12-02 00:16:43 +0000 (Fri, 02 Dec 2005) | 1 line

remove 'lastenq' flag file; turns out it's entirely unnecessary to maintain a separate file for the purpose, when the 'queue' directory itself works just as well, and will be in the buffer cache already
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2290 | jmason | 2005-11-30 03:42:19 +0000 (Wed, 30 Nov 2005) | 1 line

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2285 | jmason | 2005-11-28 21:32:53 +0000 (Mon, 28 Nov 2005) | 1 line

add test scripts for that bug - namely ordering issues when starting from a fresh slate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2284 | jmason | 2005-11-28 19:44:47 +0000 (Mon, 28 Nov 2005) | 1 line

bug in lastenq flag-file usage; the flag file may not exist, even if the clients support it, if the queue dir has not been enqueued-to yet
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2259 | jmason | 2005-11-24 00:25:26 +0000 (Thu, 24 Nov 2005) | 1 line

add test script for enqueue_fh()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2258 | jmason | 2005-11-24 00:23:32 +0000 (Thu, 24 Nov 2005) | 1 line

API CHANGE: invalid metadata now causes die() to be called, instead of silent ignore.  also note that enqueue_fh() closes the FH
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2257 | jmason | 2005-11-23 02:58:38 +0000 (Wed, 23 Nov 2005) | 1 line

fixed a long-running bug; left-over control files in 'active'.   Turns out these were a side effect of qproc A completing a task before qproc B even started creating a lockfile; in that case, qproc B would get a lock on the now-complete task, then find that the queue control file was nonexistent and give up, attempting to remove the 'active' file, but instead unlinking the now-already-unlinked temporary filename, and leaving the real 'active' file behind.  Totally harmless, fixed anyway.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2256 | jmason | 2005-11-22 21:43:21 +0000 (Tue, 22 Nov 2005) | 1 line

avoid silly misleading test failures caused by accidental sharing of DQ dirs, by removing the test-suite output dir at the start of each run
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2255 | jmason | 2005-11-22 21:41:14 +0000 (Tue, 22 Nov 2005) | 1 line

add flags file dir, and lastenq flags file, to support Reiserfs DQ dirs, which do not update directory mtimes when a file is creating within them.  Also rename enqueue_backend() to _enqueue_backend(), to emphasise its private API nature; and a couple of minor code readability improvements
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2161 | jmason | 2005-10-21 23:25:26 +0100 (Fri, 21 Oct 2005) | 1 line

explain what the 'active' dir is for; possible workaround for the lidnr errors, with more data-ful messages for working out what's going on

more paranoid link_into_dir_no_retry implementation, hopefully will fix a bug that leaves tmp active files lying around
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r863 | jmason | 2005-02-09 00:58:22 +0000 (Wed, 09 Feb 2005) | 1 line

redo the enqueue_sub() API; the read() style of string/empty-str/undef produced really messy, complex calling code, so just go with a more perlish string/undef/die() API instead
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r862 | jmason | 2005-02-09 00:16:50 +0000 (Wed, 09 Feb 2005) | 1 line

bump version number; not yet ready for a release, but worth doing this before I forget

bug: dqserver should run forever when --njobs is 0, or unset; instead, it was exiting immediately.  Patch from Jeffrey Wescott <jeff . binaryfeed . org>.
