[ptp-dev] Status of HEAD

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

It's been a while, so I thought I'd give you an update on the status  
of HEAD after the merge.

So far I have cut over the UI views (Jobs, Machines, etc.) to the new  
model. I have also removed a heap of cruft and unused code, and  
reworked the model interfaces so they are cleaner. The ORTE resource  
manager is working, so it's possible to launch a job, see the status  
change in the views, etc. There are a few minor bugs in the views  
that I'm working on at the moment.

I still have to get the debugger working. I suspect that it's broken,  
but I'll start working on it later today and hopefully it won't take  
too much to fix. I'll also get MPICH2 working again.

Randy and I will be getting together again on Thursday to try and  
iron out any remaining issues. In particular, I want to rework the  
model listener interfaces and provide asynchronous support for job  
launching. Unless we come up against something unexpected, I am  
hopeful that people will be able to start implementing against the  
new interfaces by the end of or early next week.

Cheers,

Greg
