conserver-8.1.17 is available

Post #1 of 3 (2180 views)

After an incredibly long delay, version 8.1.17 is finally out. Sorry
for both the length of time and any missing features I may have promised
an individual. These are the patches and fixes (mostly very recent
activity) that I could pull together.

If you have a patch that I've overlooked, please send it to me again.
There are one or two features I haven't implemented that I've been
thinking about, but for consistency, I'd love to have an email
reinforcing the desire for any missing features as well.

The bottom line is that over the last year or so, my tracking of these
things has fallen apart (for personal reasons). But things are getting
back on track now and I need a little help knowing what's still
important to folks.

Thanks!

I don't know if it makes your list of interesting things to work on.
The one feature we
don't have but would use if conserver implemented it would be the
ability to change the
baud rate for the consoles on the fly. Currently we do conserver -i
and find the device
node. Then ssh to the box and use stty to change the baud rate.
Which works. It
is just a little clumsy.

I haven't tried this, but if I'm not mistaken given my reading of the
code, all TTY parameters for real TTY devices are set on both load and
reload, so you should just have to change the config file and trigger a
reload by the conserver daemon.
