Upcoming conference call dates AND TIMES:
Thursdays (Eastern US Time):
19 May 2022 at 08:00 EDT
16 Jun 2022 at 23:00 EDT
The conference calls use JITSI, which does all of the processing through the web browser. We have tested with Firefox, Edge, and Chrome on Windows and Chrome/Chromium on Linux. We do not plan on using video... Although we may share items from desktops... Thanks to Jouk Jansen for providing this facility to our community!
John has provided updates on his progress on gnuLIB Assist library. Discussion of issues seen and ongoing effort as well as how we might move forward with more assistance.
John has had other issues to tend to so not much to report. Has moved to VSI versions of OpenVMS.
Bill Pedersen
VSI has OpenSSH in field test for I64 as well as x86-64.
OpenVMS 9.2 is available for testing as well.
Discussed issues of trying to get focus back into project. The pandemic has brought a bit of a fog to many things including our project.
Have verified that the latest version of SAMBA from VSI STILL supports HPE OpenVMS 8.4 out of the box. Working with client to implement custom SMBCLIENT using the library facilities of newest release. Implemented a mechanism to allow phased upgrade for client. Using libraries from SAMBA 4.x but then having V3.0.28a as server.
Have ported VSI's open source VGIT2 to OpenVMS 8.4. This is a partial implementation of GIT for OpenVMS. Have been doing some testing of it and working the kinks out of it. Documentation is sparse so working on expanding that as well. I will put together a binary kit when it I have things worked out. As well as load the source and pointers where to get some other packages that are necessary. But it means we have come additional libraries available. libssh2, libcurl, libgit2 and others. Still have to do this.
Have enabled access to my development environments for John and will do so for others if they are interested. It is now running VSI versions of OpenVMS on I64 and X86 with cross development available if necessary in a cluster. Not much progress there.
Discussed trying to get time to start reviews and testing - not much progress.
Discussed need for a small flock of monkeys.
