[Mageia-sysadm] Cleaning iurt svn

Fri Apr 15 12:17:12 CEST 2011

Hi,
+
+while trying to fix the last python issue, I was looking at
+adding /dev/shm in the iurt chroot. But I stumbled accross some various
+stuff that would requires some inputs :
+
+- is uiurt used ? grep -r tell me it doesn't, so maybe we could simply
+erase it ( as this is a plain fork of the regular iurt )
+
+- the makefile still reference mandriva on lots of place. WHile I have
+nothing against this, but this could have unintended side effect, should
+we adapt, or clean it ?
+
+- the script iurt_cache_cleaner is also IMHO unused. Remove, clean,
+adapt ?
+
+- main script is called iurt2. There is no iurt script, what about
+renaming it and just avoid useless confusion ?
+
+- iurt.spec is now handled like the other, what about removing it ?
+
+- Iurt/Utils.pm could be replaced by a external module, like
+http://search.cpan.org/~ivan/Net-SCP-0.08/SCP.pm ? According to comment,
+the issue could be when a computer is down and the lack of timeout.
+Maybe we should check if this is still the case and if not, try to reuse
+code from cpan ? 
+
+- the same goes for Iurt/Mail.pm, there is already more featured modules
+on CPAN for that.
