Since we do not have many users for tabled (well, just one: Darcy's ImStore), and I want test it, I have to make one up. So, I came up with an idea to keep a webcam stream in S3. The camera box just snaps it and uploads every frame into tabled's store, then a backgroud packer processes the stream (e.g. adds thumbnails or makes a stop-motion video), and a client access it. Voila, a real-life test that can be left run forever, scales up with the number of clients, and can be verified by eye instantly. So far it's a couple of sripts, hailcamsnap.py and hailcampack.py, and a spec for the key namespace, so that new clients, packers, and webcams can be added easily. I threw them at this page: http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/ I don't expect this be useful right away, but in case anyone wants to run a collection of webcams tied with an S3 back-end, here it is. Stranger things happened. -- Pete -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe hail-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
