[dev-serveez] current status

[stefan]

Dear Serveez'ers,
  The implementation of the interface and loadpath accessors
has been finished now. Thus I would like to declare the basic Guile port 
to be completed. There are still some things to do for a GNU serveez 
0.1.0 release:

 * Why is the (current-load-port) undefined in exception and how can 
   this be fixed ? Since it does not work you will not have any chance
   finding the source of the exception in the file.
 * Write some convenience scheme file containing procedures like
   - (println), (bind-servers!), (interface-add!), (loadpath-add!) etc.
   and make them available in the configuration file.
 * Figure out the meaning of the 3 last arguments to gh_new_procedure()
   and use them as needed. Now they seem to be in arbitrary use.

   Martin: Could you please explain ?

 * How can a server disable any binding and do it itself ?
 * Figure out why icmp checksums are invalid on fragmented packets and
   maybe call it a bug in the Linux kernel.
 * Implement the remaining fields of a port configuration and check if
   these are actually used by the library.
 * Documentation of the serveez API (introductory material still missing).

   Raimi: Could you please write some words of wisdom ?

 * Test, test, test... all the servers once again since a lot has 
   changed. And check if the thingie runs and compiles still on the target
   architectures/systems (including guile ??).

Cheers,
