[ANNOUNCE] MogileFS-Server 2.73, MogileFS-Utils 2.30

[Eric Wong]

Hi all, dormando pushed out MogileFS-Server 2.73 and -Utils 2.30
the other day, below are some relevant links and changes:

https://metacpan.org/release/MogileFS-Server

* fsck: avoid infinite wait on dead devices
* client: always disable watch_read after a command
* client: use single write for admin commands
* tracker: client fairness, backpressure, and expiry
* client connection should always be nonblocking
* ConnectionPool: avoid undefined behavior for hash iteration
* replicate: avoid buffered IO on reads
* enable DB upgrade for host readonly state
* replicate: reduce backoff for too_happy FIDs
* fsck: this avoid redundant fsck log entries
* fsck: do not log FOND if note_on_device croaks
* reaper: detect resurrection of "dead" devices

https://metacpan.org/release/MogileFS-Utils

* mogadm: document "readonly" state for hosts


dormando does not have permissions for MogileFS-Network, and he
doesn't have the ability to grant me uploader permissions, yet,
either, so I guess we're waiting on Brad for that.

It seems that hachi has the permission.

Another idea, how about merging Mogilefs-Network into Mogilefs-Server? In my opinion, zone should be a basic and required feature for modern DFSs.

I'd be fine with it; but I seem to remember moving modules to
different packages in CPAN also requires special permissions.

How about copy files manually? There are just four .pm files in Mogilefs-Network. After that, we can simply maintain code in  Mogilefs-Server and MogileFS-Network is deprecated.

I was under the impression that's the exact thing CPAN restricts:
"MogileFS::Network" existing in multiple CPAN packages.
(this is second hand info, though)

[dormando]

Correct. Permissions are for the namespace, not files you have within a
tarball. It's not a big deal though, it'll be resolved soon and that file
doesn't change much anyway.

Any updates about MogileFS-Network?

I see two commits from Eric since v0.0.6

Guess not :/

Fwiw, I haven't used MogileFS::Network in a few years, now;
but AFAIK my patches worked fine until I didn't need it anymore.

I still use MogileFS w/ SQLite on a daily basis :>

Yeah, it's fine that you make a pull request using my commits.
I don't care about taking credit, even. But also at
https://bogomips.org/MogileFS-Network.git for redundancy.

Note: I don't and won't ever have any social media presence
like GH, or a homepage.
