We will meet tomorrow to discuss our status report and what to do with
Linux public workstation verification, as well as any other topics
people have.
The Linux public workstation verification is: as the amount of
material in the Linux-Athena release has gone up, the public
workstation verification has started to take a long time. Lou claims
the long delay is an impediment to service. Unfortunately, we have no
data on how often public workstation verification actually cleans
anything up. Our options are:
1. Omit public workstation verification
2. Run verification in the background
3. Add a thing where you can press a key to manually suppress
verification before it starts. (Lou said this would be an
acceptable compromise, but not his preference.) Or a thing where
you can manually terminate verification after it starts, which
might be more acceptable.
4. Start collecting data (via syslog, probably) on how often
verification does anything, and in the meantime do (a) nothing,
(b) option #2 above, or (c) option #3 above.
Andrew won't be around, but is willing to implement any of these
things.
