Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] TM conf. call - notes for 7-Jun-2006
|
Sorry, my last email was not completed.
My short visit to Los Alamos has finished and I'm now back to my usualy
place of work. So I'm not continuing to work on the enablement of EFS
for CDT intensively. However, the PTP project which I'm involved is
still in need of it. And I'm glad to know any advances to the full
support of EFS in CDT and like to get contact with whoever going to work
on it.
Best regards,
Tianchao

Hi,
I'm right back from my travel and noticed this heated discussion about
EFS and CDT. I was the one that has reported and worked on some of the
related bugs, so I think I need to clarify something.
I worked on that issue because I need remote support for PTP, which
requires the support of remote project and remote build in CDT. We
decided to use EFS as the enablement of remote project. You can
reference our wiki for more details:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/PTP/designs/remote
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/PTP/designs/remote/cdt
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/PTP/designs/remote/progress
There is a chick-egg problem in EFS UI and the EFS users. The
improvement to EFS UI is pending to wait for user feedback and users
are waiting for the improvement of EFS UI. However, the lack of a
usable EFS implementation might be the major issue that discouraged
people to use EFS. Several of the bug fixes I supplied were related
with the sample EFS implementations. I have created plug-in that
enables V9FS EFS and did most of the development work with it. You can
also try the EFS from RSE (there was a bug in RSE that prevents the
creation of a project on the remote system, but I've received a mail
yesterday that says it is probably fixed. I will check).
From my experience, EFS support in Eclipse core fulfills the needs of
CDT but Eclipse UI is in need of improvement to better support EFS.
However, we can already use EFS, and I have worked out a bugfix
(#142092) that provides limited support for EFS in CDT. The
restriction is that the path in the URL must represent the path of the
file on the server. And it works for me to edit C/C++ code and
Makefiles that are in a project created on EFS. You can also apply the
traditional trick (ssh ...) to build the project remotely, if the
project is on a remote system.
Best regards,
Tianchao Li
