The problem I have with EFS for this type of solution is that it
serves up
the files to the local system, and nothing else. I have not looked
at EFS
in detail, but I'm guessing (perhaps naively) that just to do a
dependency
calculation you'd have to serve every file over the wire in order
to do a
timestamp check because I don't think it discriminates about what info
about the file it sends over the wire. It's much more network
efficient to
have an agent running on the remote server that is in charge of the
build
logic. Then again this might be all up to the implementation of
the EFS
interfaces to handle.
I'll keep this in mind during my explorations. It would be good if
the implementation (remote agent or not) could be hidden behind the
EFS interfaces.
As I recall in Ottawa, RSE would not play a large role for the remote
stuff. I'm currently looking at how they are starting remote
processes to see if we can use any of their stuff. One of our
requirements is to be able to start up remote daemons that
communicate with parallel queueing systems.
For my general information, who is working on remote capabilities.
I'd like to try to understand what the community is doing so that we
can see where the requirements for PTP fit in and how we can contribute.
Cheers,
Craig
