Project: Namespace-based translator selection
Current Task
Write the filesystem proxy for namespace-based translator selection (nsmux).
The code is at http://github.com/scolobb/nsmux/tree/master.
Current Status
DONE:
The skeleton which mirrors the filesystem.
Provided the looking up of files with special suffixes like 'file,,x'
Implemented the propagation of a translator on all files belonging to directory 'dir' in the case of the following query: 'dir,,x/'
Any translator can access the untranslated version of the node it is to be set upon by specifying the corresponding flags to the lib_startup routine, where lib is the name of the library used to create the translator.
TODO:
Create special translators for the main proxy so that its functionality should be complete.
Refine the skeleton in several places so that it should become faster and more reliable.
Kill bugs.
Progress
6: Fri Jul 25, ~04:00 UTC - ?
Implementing a skeleton of the translator that should filter the translator stack it is set upon.
5: Thu Jul 24, ~17:00 UTC - Thu Jul 24, ~18:30 UTC:
Created a libnetfs-based one-node translator, working exactly like the libtrivfs-based translator I had written before; the former, however, can be included in a translator stack.
4: Tue Jul 22, ~15:00 UTC - Thu Jul 24, ~17:00 UTC:
Attempted to make a libtrivfs-based translator to be able to be stacked upon itself (to be able to receive a translator on top of itself, more exactly); attempted to borrow some code from libnetfs but this didn't bring any results.
3: Sun Jul 20, ~15:00 UTC - Tue Jul 22, ~15:00 UTC:
Implemented the possibility to propagate a translator on all files belonging to a directory 'dir' in the request of the type 'dir,,x/'.
2: Thu Jul 17, ~13:00 UTC - Fri Jul 18, ~21:00 UTC:
Extended the lookup code in nsmux to allow for looking up nodes like 'file,,x' and added the possibility to escape the double-comma in the following way: ',,,'.
1: Mon Jul 12, ~13:00 UTC - Tue Jul 13, ~15:00 UTC:
Implemented a simple libtrivfs-based translator to test the lookup code for nsmux.
0: Sat Jul 12, ~09:00 UTC - Sat Jul 12, ~18:00 UTC:
Made small changes to the code of filterfs to fit the needs of nsmux.
Completed Tasks
2: Sat May 3 - Fri Jul 17:
Write a translator that should filter the contents of the directory it is set on according to some property. The property can be an arbitrary command.
The code is at http://github.com/scolobb/filterfs/tree/master.
1: Mon Apr 28 - Wed Apr 30:
Wrote a Python extension module in C for retreiving the uptime. The module is based on the code of w.

Followed the code of dmesgd (http://www.bddebian.com/junk/dmesgd/) kindly offered by bddebian and rewritten it from scratch as a tutorial.
