There are a few changes that various people want made to the current
moira server.
Tom found a bug in get_host that is popping up because of the recent
purge, where the server will claim that a machine doesn't exist if it
was last modified by a user who doesn't exist. This bug doesn't show
up in any other similar queries, and it's literally a one-line-fix to
make it DTRT in get_host, so I'm about to fix and check in that.
Second, I'd like to change the code that writes the journals:
currently it truncates all of the arguments after 40 characters, which
means that you can't run the journals through another server without
errors popping up. We need to fix this so we can test the oracle
server off moira2's journals. This is also a pretty simple fix.
Finally, Jonathon wants to bump GDB_MAX_CONNECTIONS in gdb.h so that
the server can deal with more simultaneous connections. We think this
is an easy fix, but we're not completely sure.
These would be made to the copy of the server source in the OPSSRC
branch, tested on SOS, and then moved to moira2 at some point after
the right people have figured out the right way to do it.
After all of this has happened, Jonathon and I want to merge the
OPSSRC and moiradev branches together. This mostly means keeping the
clients from moiradev and the server-side stuff from opssrc. (Diane's
locking changes, which aren't in the current production server, would
be moved into a separate branch in case we want them back later.)
