   4. preserve dates in transfer
         1. file transfer tentacle and the other thing should keep the date of the file and retag it at that date.  then they will seem like the same file.
         2. see bundler for code for this.

   5. add ongoing status support
         1. there should be a percentage done for size and a percentage done for file count.
         2. these could be checked periodically to show the download state.

   6. dont forget outcome of transfer: the outcome field of the stupid infoton needs to record the result.

   7. make transfer show times: it would be nice to see a list of names, where the incomplete one shows a percentage that keeps getting updated.

   8. maybe transfer should be auto prompted
         1. wouldn't it be better if the next thing after a tree response was that the client side put out an infoton that started the transfer?  then it's more automatic.
         2. we would lose the control over it of being able to decide not to do it, but we would make the use of this interface a lot simpler.

then if you sit down, like on a teleporter or a chair,
and then get up,
your running state from before  is broken.
the UI still says you're running, but you're in fact only walking.
if you hit ^R to run again, that sets the UI back to walking, and you're still walking.
if you hit ^R once more, then the UI says you're running and you actually are running again.

so to reset the 'sitting kills running' problem, hit ^R twice.
but that's bogus.
running state shouldn't be removed by sitting down on something.

do we actually store all the entity data bin in memory?  argh, it should be pageable out to disk.

The struct module provides pack() and unpack() functions for working with variable length binary record formats. The following example shows how to loop through header information in a ZIP file without using the zipfile module. Pack codes ""H"" and ""I"" represent two and four byte unsigned numbers respectively. The ""<"" indicates that they are standard size and in little-endian byte order:

import struct

data = open('myfile.zip', 'rb').read()
start = 0
for i in range(3):                      # show the first 3 file headers
    start += 14

just the package / payload, how does it get the data back to that cromp component

it just wouldn't work at all well.

you'd have to be able to control the ports and stuff utterly, like the services

S would be localhost.
R would be where cromp server runs.
Q would be services provided.

that would actually be useful; a way to reroute local services to a totally
different machine, essentially making the machines feel linked at the local level.

basically surmounts firewalls.  not always a good thing at all!  but sometimes
really crazy helpful.

possible application: email tunnel.  instead of ssh, run the tunnel over the cromp
server.  proof of concept perhaps;
cromp is not always encrypted,
 is it?

but we have encrypt capability.  we could use it for this at least as a demo.

  needs support for multiplexing on context of data,
    i.e. go to xml parser for xml prefix,
    go to html parser for that,
    try to parse as cromp message,
  support for this makes it easier to have multiple versions of cromp
    no longer need to match exact format of old version
    can interpret which one it is in same protocol matching area.

general forwarding service:

a class that can maintain a list of forwards.

all these are is a source and a sink.

the source is a place where the class listens for data.  the sink is where
it puts that data once it hears it.

can be arbitrary connections too: connected to multicast to broadcast to etc.

the packet sizes are a concern, but not really our problem.  we could just
slap the too-large packets in chunks out on the bcast
and if they don't arrive, that's the nature of broadcast.


--------------


cromp server idea for distributing requests to appropriate handler:

cromp server should support registration of other services via patterns.
 e.g. xml html etc should go to a web server.
other patterns go to other servers.
could be a proxy server in this manner, or  support endless services.


==========

octopus confederation:


other servers log into a server that is based on list synchronizer
or something similar.

they register themselves as providing a particular service.  this then
forms a place in the chain of unique names where if someone asks for
far down enough in a chain, they may get routed to a remote server?

or really, any arbitrary unique service name could be routed elsewhere.

the main port (the list synch guy) would then accept connections from
cromp clients and route their requests to the right topics, served elsewhere.
replies would need to be routed back also.

this allows a central clearing house point where the connections can be made,
but any number of servers could implement the service, anywhere on the
planet."	Fred T. Hamster

         3. to be really effective, it needs to randomize whether the contents are crap or not. the first few fields should be valid a lot of the time in order to test how the last few fields are handled in the presence of crap.
         4. AHA!!!  create random object of the specified type.  pack them into a byte array.  zorch out with garbage various parts of the byte array.
         5. to be really sneaky, zorch the contents with data in a similar range, like ascii for ascii, packed bytes for packed bytes, if this can be determined. maybe not, but it would be cool to replace things with items kind of close but not exactly equal during a portion of the testing.
         6. then unpack the resulting garbage. see how the unpacker behaves. most likely a nasty crash is going to be the result for a bad error; make sure things are bundled in exception handlers as much as possible.

maybe the old version was for basic or something?  or was there
one for c, possibly done for a course?

it would be really nice to have a very configurable pretty printer

now comments are even easier to handle thanks to doxygen; doxygen
gives us the directional association to the actual object being
documented!
sweet...  so now it's no question whether the thing goes above or below,
as long as its got doxygen.

for comments that are ""loose"", those should be their own block of stuff.
they should flow with the last indentation level in a nice way.
loose means that they are not adjacent to another code construct or
another comment.  a group of comments with no spacing between, but spacings
outside, should form a block.
when code is present next to the comment, then doxygen rules need
to be applied.

it should understand how to read a tag, how to read a content chunk,
how to strip spaces and crap from both ends, 
how to turn attributes into a string table.

then we can do it like this:

  provide the methods that do the actual parsing, like eat tag, and eat
    content.
  drive them either via a default method that will go through and invoke
    a callback for each syntax element
OR
  allow the user to drive them as they see fit.

the latter allows us goal directed parsing that each lightlink object
can use to pull in the xml.

instead of having to build a tree and figure it all out, we can invoke
the sub parsers in the same order we output stuff?  that's not so great,
  but it's simple to do and get working.

or we can just have it be a more sensible scheme, where we tell parser to
look for specific subtags in any order and chow them in.

is xml supposed to be order-invariant?  or can people expect things in
a particular order without breaking the standard or being ugly/clumsy?

the former method of parsing would be great, because we could hook into
it from a tree based xml parser.  this guy would simply read the whole
damned thing and turn it into a tree.  it has to live in nodes or above
though, since it needs to use the tree class.

+ push the new refs we calculated into the file.

+ still need an extractor for the GUID; we will need the GUID for a project
  when we build a reference for it.  guid is in: ProjectGuid

+ note that we're not generating a complete list of refs needed--just the list
  of refs implied by c++ libs used in the project.
  + we should only add the references that are not there yet.


--
problem seen in projects:
  fixer thing would be place to fix it maybe...
  apparently if header files are listed that do not exist,
  a bug in visual studio can make them be recompiled.
--

===============

proof of concept:

all the core libraries should already be right.

but the ones in shared no longer have their dependencies down to the core stuff.
  those shared libs need their proper core deps.
  then we should be able to remove the core prereq deal entirely.

once this is done, the proof is this:
  you can build release or debug version of shared solution, and:
    1) the core stuff all gets built in the same matching way,
    2) nothing fails or gets weirdness.

---------  DONE  ----------------

can we ignore references to c# stuff?  those won't build if they're not correct,
right?  so, we are mainly trying to fix the visual studio stuff, where it could build
right but have wrong references or dependencies.
=> we think we can ignore c# for now.

so, we need functions to:
DONE:  extract created asset from a project file (x.dll etc)
DONE:  extract the file name from a project reference.
DONE:  turn an absolute path into a path relative to a project file location
DONE:  extract GUID from a project file.
DONE:  extract libraries used by a project

DONE + so some form of parsing refs is needed but it could be really simple.

DONE + yes, the project FILE name is provided in the ProjectReference line.

===============
DONE: to really do this right we need a tool that can fix a project.
if the project says, i need libs X, Y, and Z.
the tool should:
  locate projects for X, etc where can.
  include reference chunks for those projects.
done
===============
DONE: 
tool for adding refs:
  extra projects seems to work at getting what references are ALREADY there.
  we need to know which ones aren't.
  AdditionalDependencies has two flavors--one for debug and one for release.
    we could probably use the first one encountered, since these *should* be the same.
  given that list from additdeps, we know the dlls needed by the project (strip lib off
     the ending to find the dll name).
  using these names, we can expect that project files to exist with same name;
      and we'd be disappointed since there are some where they don't match.
      firmware api for example.
  although, we could actually do a pre-search to find all the products of all our projects.
    then we would have a complete list of who builds what,
    and could reason using the right names.
    we also then wouldn't have to search for anything; it's already computed.
===============

DONE: + current high priority:
   get the thing to generate the list of references *needed* for a project.
   just show the list; we can do spooning it into proj files next.

AINTGONNADO: + if we have a manifest of all the projects in hierarchy, it would be easy to fix
  wrong paths in existing refs.
=> i think we have that now.  check?
=> this is not super important though; it's not a generalized fixer, but more of a
   thing to ensure your c++ stuff is hooked in right.  for one thing, it won't currently
   fix missing refs, since that would require reading the code and finding who wasn't pulled in.
   we're not the slightest bit working on that, so we can't fix refs in general either.

ALSO NO: + we should fix references with wrongful paths?

++++++++++++++
product and project ideas
++++++++++++++

=> real world to grid gifting capability:
    want a web site that lets you pick an object from a list of available ones and get a copy of the object delivered to you in world,
        just like say a vendor or whatever.
    but needs to go from the web to inworld,
        type ""user to give to"" in web form.
    would be good backend to the lsl book title tbd
    library oriented simulator scripting
        included Opensim / OSgrid and Second Life

=> could use a jug script:
    something to make the jugs accept objects being deposited?    by anyone?    or just by owner?
    then we can get the jugs downstairs to easily accept batches of things into them.
    lsl code: allow inventory drop: supports a thing like an object donation deal, that lets people put their stuff into it.        
        llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE); 

=> furtive object survives auto-return times:
    what about an object that jumps across land boundaries until it's in a different land owner area,
    and then it would have cleared the 'how long on this land' timer?

=> make particle water / bubbles / fizz:
    a nice effect for fishtanks like huffhines landing.
    could use assorted textures and things that are watery, like bubbles.

=> light followers as better lighting method than hand lamps:
    need a little object that can spawn a bunch of buddies.
    the buddies would follow around the avatar at nswe positions.
    then they are lit up like the lamps.
    occasionally shift the angles they're at?

=> fake lightning:
    what about an object that spews little tiny objects,
    but the little tiny objects spew lightning pics as they speed to their destination.
    a little chaos and they could zig and zag like real lightning.

=> mod for jumpy coin (flipping cent):
    make the coin spin if it hits surface...
    add spin whenever collides?
    will that make it crazy?

=> involuntary movement of avatars:
    a lot of people look for some way to make an avatar go someplace without the avatar
        doing a touch or a sit.
    couldn't a few objects gather around his feet and do little push objects on him
        to get him moving around?
    or what about a 10x10 platform or circle or whatever which keeps appearing under him
        and moving upwards?
        have a whole stack of them going at him, and he will be moved upwards, won't he?

=> crawling flowing object:
    like a pet, but a landscaping deal.
    flows around.  can look like water or whatever.
    could be flowing shape and size.

=> fiberoptic stylee:
    it would be cool for an object to have a bunch of temp prim hairs on itself.
    they could radiate outwards and be replaced randomly as prior ones evaporate.
    rez 10 to start or something and let them pile up, but also go away by attrition.
    make all the hairs total metal shiny, so they gleam and flex in the wind.

=> disappearing act pet animation:
    write a scripted object that's tiny and just spins around the owner in a spiral, head to bottom repeatedly, really fast.
    have the script emit smoke also, of a chosen color and style and such.
    when the timeout elapses after enough smoke is there, teleport the owner away to the safety zone, wherever that is.
    after the owner is gone, teleport the object to that locale also. 
    finally, clear up the smoke?  or just let that time out normally?

all the jaunter categories in the lower two levels of eepaw cannot become the new

no, because keypresses get eaten.

we need a machine that spits out a jaunter for you to try,

i wrote up notes about our nutty chat last night.  do these seem like useful things to pursue?
-----

support multiple languages, sanskrit, chinese etc in the latex at the website.

support automatic translation from documents on hard drive into grid documents or into direct grid representation on tibslate.

paging through documents is important, to make size of text readable, hopefully will be faster loading.

tool can generate notecard content to make a set of initializers for tibslate.  this would support creating different book packs for it, i.e. useful non-joke ones unlike current slide deck.  i wish i remembered more tibetan and then they would be less of a joke.  anyway...

tool could be hooked into an existing bot source code as an extension (such as the radegast program, authorized to connect to SL) to actually generate notecards in-world.  drops a lot of copy and pasting by humans.

may have to work out a way around limit on urls.  there's a limit there somewhere, even in osgrid.
maybe not just url-based communication?

use tibslate as control panel for blank slates;
the blank slates answer on a particular number (or could be activated by click before blasting a screen at them).
tibslate downloads the ""html as texture"" to them just by giving them the UUID,
once page has been loaded on tibslate before, it's that simple!
uuid should persist if object still shows it?  not sure about lifetime of those textures.

get grants based on any of these?

modification helper for clock and other multi-part objects:
    a script that can rearrange the positions of the subprims would be helpful.
    for example, if i said ""pop out"" to the clock,
        it should spring the hour hand, minute hand, center anchor piece and any other parts with a script out in such a way that i can edit them (change scripts, change textures, etc) without needing to manually move things around.
    much less error prone and very handy.
    clock is a good example because it has some concerns right away.
        we want the hour hand, minute hand and central axis to puff out linearly at say 1 or 2 meters distance.
        maybe the distance should be proportional to size of objects.
        if there were other parts though, we might not want them to jump out at all.
        so it needs to be a per-prim script that does the jumping out and back in.
    can we count on an object's zero position to be anywhere in particular?
        if not we need to carefully store its 'in object position' someplace, like in the obj description?
    additionally in the clock example, the root prim might be the anchor piece in the middle.
        we need to be able to move the root prim as well, which might mean moving everything else?
    so, cases are:
        1) root prim should move,
        2) specific prim should move,
        3) any prim should know how to 'go back',
        4) adjustment to prim should be able to do 'linear expansion', with parts in some orderly numerical progression out on a line.
        5) adjustment to prim should be able to do arbritary adjustment/rotation, where either position or rot can change.
        6) others?
    this could be handy for many types of objects.

new jaunter mode for many types of destinations:
    we could compact all the jaunters in the shop into one uber object if we supported a way to have categories of jaunters.
    it's like the ability to reload the data cow with new dests and the jaunter with new list of names,
        such that it's just swapping out its current set for a new set.
    don't need to run the tester on anything but the locals anyhow, but
        it does seem like no one wants to wait for dests to be tested when they want to go somewhere.
        and actually that's already supported, since they can jaunt before things are ready and get a chair to jump there?
    however, might really be nice to be able to just see the list right away, and not have the rezzer deal running elsewhere.
    maybe separate healthy destinations out into a different list!

still need a new name,
as ruby uses the term bundles.

or bundler anyway.

but we need to make this just read and write xml.
no frills, just spew it, and output the files as base64?


actually, this will kill the efficiency, won't it?

i bet it would.

design point...
we should be able to deliver the files in either format and read them in either format,
so we can compare the binary vs. the text xml stuff.
would need as fast an xml parser as we could find or write... otherwise it would be unfair
right away.

               1. that's because there are two single ones in front.
               2. currently it double spaces the h. dalai part, since it thinks it's a sentence.
   2. split lines wrong re periods
         1. punctuation only counts if there's a space after it.  or a quote after it.
         2. otherwise, if it's in the middle of a word, it must not cause a line break.
   3. splitter mods
         1. needs to handle quotes better.
         2. if there's a period in the quote, it counts as the period to get two spaces.
         3. but if it's a comma, it needs just one space.
   4. another splitter paragraph signal
         1. if a line is indented, that can be taken as a cue for a new paragraph!
         2. keep the indent?
   5. need default indent specification for new paragraphs.
   6. enhancements:
         1. the indenter guy should allow any character to be described as the space character between words.  then \ and / can be used for breaking files up.
         2. the indenter should allow an indentation on the left and an indentation on the right to be maintained (the one on the right is there already, right?).

noticed that hoople/clam on linux is
always recompiling all EXEs when the version changes.

first of all, that's silly.  the version isn't used on linux at all.

second of all, that's silly.  when things do get a new version, things
shouldn't need relinking unless the so/dll actually changed somehow.

how can we minimize these recompilations?


solution::::

if the file's already there,
read it in.

if file contents are
identical to what would have been written,
don't say anything about the version.
don't write the file.
get out.


only if one of the version.rc or version.h files

------------------------------
wardrobe fixing project update
------------------------------

feb 10 2013
status on this is not great.
i did successfully swamp out all the names of authors on all existing objects that were rezzed,
or puffed out in inventory, right?

but the nested objects inside those things didn't get changed, unless they were rezzed.
and even then, the things nested inside the first level weren't touched, only their containers
that were directly in a rezzed object were changed.

so i need some kind of deserialization nuke, that lets me unpack every single object to its core,
fix all the object permissions, then put the object back together again.



wardrobe inner permissions:
  test wardrobe via hypergrid check that all objects' perms work.
  saw some weirdness with this at different times.
==>
the reason our scrubbing didn't fix things is that the objects
are embedded in blobs, with all their original ownery garbanzos going on.
so any nested object will have this problem.
==>

fix the mission giver scripts in every box:
  the one in there sucks.
  it doesn't offer a choice of allowing anyone (besides owner) to click.
  use a modified version of the nonscript giver instead.
  allow anyone to copy from mission.

fux in the mission, some more:
  hobo fishy tank is multi-part.
  hobo hamster wheel also.
  Snow Man Cone
  Slice of Delicious Pumpkin Pie
  Hobo-Bag-Blue
  Hobo-Bag-Red
  bookshelf...?
    Book of Clothing version 2
    jewelry bling script gift box

batman skin is hosed:
  has bristles and fur and rug and weird other textures on top of it.
  seems like we can fix this and hobo just by reverting to a normal skin.
  problem is in what SI gave us for the skin.
howard hobo's skin hosed like batman:
  he's got that weird messed up texture also
so does little red riding hood.
a possible fix...
  the divine tech avatar's skin works for red.
  maybe bat guy would like that too?

|||||||||||||| welcomebot

** welcomebot needs to use notecard configuration:
    the welcomebot *must* draw its configuration out of the notecards.
    the defaults in the script would become a joke, and could be made much shorter.

welcomebot needs to use data cow for storing the visitor list:
    this is the obvious choice for something that needs lots of data storage; could increase our memory capacity like crazy.

fix welcomebot listing
    when listing locally, it only shows the top X items in the log and truncates the rest.
    show all by multi-log line trick employed many places.

remember time of av's last visit in history.

bug: make it not restart just because notecards change;
    have another way to get it to reread notecard,
    or just don't reset!

feature to pop a menu (if configured):
    this menu could show the various options the owner set up.
    
configurable different actions for welcomebot:
    show menu, give notecard, give landmark, request group membership,
    show list of av's visited, repeat intro greeting, give toys out, etc.

allow the arrived/left messages to be turned off.

	294	better scheme for communication of file tree bits for synch files and other octopi	feistymeow-octopus		refactoring	bugdock	assigned	2016-09-15T01:31:30Z	2016-09-30T16:28:57Z	"problem case:
synch_files was either sucking way too much memory or cpu or something
because using it to copy pics to the usb drive just killed the machine.

solution:
update the approach in synching for how it tells other side what's up.

more detail:
just skitter along the tree instead of voluminously knowing all files.
reside in assurance that we won't traverse the same files twice;
then just send the stream of the files we saw over to the other side
in batches and let the other side reply about files it wants when.

thus we add some new cromp objects or whatever, or new commands on existing objects, so that there's a way to say:

=> here's new data about my side: here's a batch of files and dirs rooted someplace.
both sides can use that to tell the other side what's there, if we're talking about bidirectional synchronization.
but generally for a synch files op, the server has the source and the client wants to know.

ah, a decision point here.  does the client or server do the work of comparing?
let's assume the client does it for now.  server gets busy.

so, the conversation looks like this:
client asks server ""what you got?""
server starts sending these packets that are mini rooted trees.
client would need to assemble its view of the tree from these.
=> can it do this piecemeal and not need to keep a whole tree around?
  probably so, if we can tell the whole starting point of a tree chunk.  after all, the client either already has a path to there or it doesn't.  the file there already exists or it doesn't.

so after the client hears about all the stuff the server's got, and has made its mind up about what it wants from the server side,
it can then just send a bunch of file and dir names.
the file name tells the server that the client wants that file, on full path.
the dir name tells server that client wants to know the metadata for the dir (time+date, attributes)

all of these pieces can be sent over, even while the server is still barfing up trees; the client can start asking it based on what it already knows about its own tree (if it checks for things the server
says it has) and the client can be receiving files and dirs from the server even while the server is still iterating around its own trees.

eventually the flood of file and dir transfer requests peters out.  that's the client being done asking.
the server eventually answers all the requests with data.  that's the server being done supplying.
now, after all the data is present for files, and all the files are tagged with the appropriate metadata time,
the client has to go through and apply all the directory timestamp and attribute info.
(this assumes we want the copy to look just like the original in terms of time stamps and permissions)

so, this is a longwinded bug.  more of a feature request.
it indicates redoing some of the communication objects in the cromp / octopus support for file transfers.  many of the parts could already be there.

but the most important thing is that we want to lose the massive memory footprint and slowness to start getting work done; the client should start getting files right away, not having to traverse a whole huge tree before anything can be done.

we might also want to consider whether the server needs to iterate all its data before it can start serving requests.
and does it need to hold onto all that stuff?
maybe a caching mechanism would be better than total knowledge; we get to like 10000 files, and the whole thing falls apart due to memory usage and scale.

revised more packety scheme seems much more user friendly, since results start to occur faster.  not sure if it's really more efficient...  but it probably is, because holding onto so much memory can crush virtual memory usage, which in turn makes everything much slower if you're hitting the top.

cromp needs a typing system.  one byte for 253 or 254 options on types, and then l
ike FF can mean second byte has more info.

this makes a lot of our type packing nicer.

---

change the cromp name being in the package.  need more subtle ways to know it's a 
good package.

need a checksum field, which can optionally be zeroed and ignored, or omitted, or 
whatever.

----

rest on the assertion that cromp packets are always ""clear"" (not encoded)
as far as headers and meta data.

data content inside packet can be arbitrarily structured, encrypted, whatever.

----

need to not define any service as having contents that are clear text contents?
hmmm.  no.  we always have the cromp encryption stuff as an option for the data, don't we?
or we should at least.

---

make encryption THE DEFAULT for cromp services.
nothing in data contents should ever be visible, unless they explicitly and probably
stupidly want that.

=========

	320	feisty meow cannot be easily installed system wide	feistymeow-experimental		refactoring		new	2016-09-16T23:47:32Z	2016-09-16T23:55:09Z	"the structure is totally inept for use by all users, since the production directory is right in the feisty code base folder!  what if a normal user needs to rebuild?
=> that is a silly question.  a user that wants to build would presumably have changed files first.  so this bug should really mainly focus on (a) using feisty code in a system-wide install and (b) not polluting the source code hierarchy with generated files unnecessarily.

instead, we need to locate binaries in a safe place, like the temp dir.
=> this part has been completed.  the code is now generated into a temporary folder by default.  so that's most of part (b) of original motivation.

the build process should include an official coronation process for the
real owner, where he can build the production binaries into place
as expected right now [used to be, not any longer], but only he can run the step to do this successfully.
=> also sounds silly.  we want the user, any user, to be able to be a packager of the feisty meow code and be able to produce a deb or rpm from it.  if any user can do it, then it will be simple enough for me.

so, everyone else should still be able to use the binaries directory
locally; the local version should be the second default, if the official binaries dir doesn't exist.
=> this is a sensible idea; have a fallback default binary dir.
**but it also brings in concerns again about how the scripts get generated to the same generated directory as the binaries.
***ha!  which is a bogus concern, yes, since the script startups go into the loading dock.  and have even when that had a different name.  so, we do have good generated script vs. generated binary separation.
=> it almost seems to be implying that the script codebase and the built codebase should be way separate, as if the scripts could be installed via a separate deb/rpm, and the binaries only or binaries+source (or maybe totally separate binaries and source like most packages are done) could be installed.
=> this deserves to be pulled back out as a separate refactoring; splitting out the core feisty meow components as a separate package.  would enforce a lot of cleaning and separation.
** also not really worth it without lots of users having frustration over this.  personally it doesn't bug me enough yet...

we also probably want an 'always local' mode for the binaries,
since then when a non-owner user rebuilds stuff, he'd not see any
changes!


hmmmmmm..... so maybe the best policy is actually that the binaries are always constructed per user.
a feisty install that was delivered with all the stuff prebuilt would be a neat thing too.  that's what an image of the current build process might be able to use.

for now though, personal binaries sound best.,

=> overall seems more like (1) we want a super user to be able to update the binaries if desired, (2) we want a super user to be able to install the feisty meow package for all users if desired, and (3) we want individual users to be able to rebuild.
but are these each useful cases?  how often does a non-root person want to rebuild things without changing the source (3)?  and to change the source they need to have write access, so they could just check it out.

=> motivations stated initially do seem solid though (cases a and b).
case b is about separating out the storage of built binaries from code.  that's pretty much done.
but case a in a sense is about bringing the binaries back in under the code hierarchy.
what about a presumed root hierarchy where all can live together, but support for separating out the scripts, source, and binaries as needed?
our previous support for case b really just moved most everything generated out, although we still need write access on the nucleus/library folder for the build config files.

partial answer:
we do already have FEISTY_MEOW_SCRIPTS as a variable.  what about three modes for this (and any location variable): value defined externally (e.g. .bashrc), default value, and default fallback value?
if already set, but value is bad, we can either move up the chain automatically or complain about it.  complaining and stopping seems right for the moment.
scripts var default=fmroot/scripts
default fallback...  /usr/lib/feisty_meow/scripts

the defaults should be configurable at time of system-wide install also, so we can match the installers relocation requests.

so, then binaries dir and source code dir done similarly?
unfortunately there is no single source root!  argh.  feisty meow is split into multiple products: nucleus, octopi, graphiq, etc.
so, a single variable won't handle that.
but this also points to the fact that those products could be separately installed.  nucleus is used by all (except kona, hmmm) so far, etc.
maybe it's also indicating that we could have a product variable for each one also.  if it's different enough to be separate, doesn't it deserve it's own root folder variable?  ugh.

payload instead of all the different types?

side issue:
can we present these files in a browser in a nice way with text formatting?

back to main point: we need nice looking code and filenames for that code...

best thing we can do is to take an IAR and turn it into the nice names
for the source code; this would drop second inventory out of the picture.
okay, using an IAR won't work.  the damned thing doesn't seem to preserve
the actual file names!  it's all about assets.  how can that be missing
the filenames?  they come back when you restore the iar??

ah, okay, the IAR has a list of object.xml files also.  those define
everything about the asset's representation in the object, including the
super important thing of its name, and they have to be providing an asset
uuid also.

so we can use some xml wizardry to process out all the records of object
contents, if we can find the right object.xml,
and then from that list, we iterate across, make a new file of the
appropriate name in target dir, and copy in the lsl contents for
the asset.

the summary info would be our wacky strided checksums right?

would fix so much about the file synch that maybe the other crud wouldn't matter?

also totally tasty!  then max of one file per dir, and it's

	392	usage in feisty meow of tmp must be fixed	feistymeow-scripts		bug		new	2017-02-03T12:32:40Z	2017-02-03T12:32:40Z	"

we can't store tmp under our own folder.
what about nfs?  yuck.

pattern often seen in cs dept at least; the tmp store is fast and local, the home space is not.

so,
move the tmp folder to our styley thing:

/tmp/username/

and all will be well.

ahhhhh, except that the damned thing is wiped out on reboot.

so, that's not good for our files that we are hoping are a safe deletion repo in safedel; they'd be wiped
if the machine crashed.
so safedel shouldn't go there.  can safedel get its own location as a dot file?

but all other junk stuff should be stored in the /tmp/fred place.

we also want to keep the aa_X files, which are counters for things.

so, it sounds like there are three types of ""temp"" storage:

  1) expected stable store for safedel, protected against reboots, but ultimately easily whackable if ready.

  2) expected stable store for counter files and other records (like the tmp transient log, which is a record,
     but still we want it kept around).

  3) non-stable volatile store which we don't care if we lose it in a minute or a year or sometime not under
     our control.  this gets the true junk: any temporaries or scratch files or crap that we really don't
     care about.

so, maybe some useful names for these to gel the concept...?
  STABLE_TRASH (1)
  FEISTY_MEOW_RECORDS (2)
  UNSTABLE_TRASH (3)

==
ah, a nice realization about the feisty meow loading dock:
it is not stable for files placed in top-level; they go away.
but a new folder, crabparts, was left alone.  i did recustomize and regenerate and such,
and it was still there.
so if we put a new folder in there called ""records"", it can be our feisty meow records folder.
still wants a symbolic name it seems.  but this is nice.

	397	write a consistent html tidbit for a go up go next set of structures for use on web pages	feistymeow-kona		bug		new	2017-02-03T12:35:25Z	2017-02-03T12:35:25Z	"
Subject: write a consistent html tidbit for a ""go up"", ""go next"" set of structures for use on web pages

ah yes, server side includes is the key:

<!--#include virtual=""insertthisfile.html"" -->

----

we want a consistent way to do a ""go up"" or ""go back"" feature.

for our hierarchical pages, we definitely want a ""jump up"" feature that goes to the top level above whereever you are.  only deploy that when there is a notion of a parent.

we could always offer a button that does a browser-level back button also, like ""jump back in web history"" or ""pop this web page"" or something.


and for things that are a nice series, why not a ""go to next article"" button.


all of these could be configurable and reusable assets.

they each have html structure, which will show some site / server wide picture.

they each have a target.

some have javascript for the target, like the ""browser back"" option.

want them to be discreetly available at the top and bottom of each page, so they should not have to reuse a lot of stuff.

those with a normal target can pass it as a parameter to some kind of sourced version of this code?

that would be the way to reuse these parts; establish a common place, like feisty meow, for coding stuff.

then rely the hell on it by including those things, but with the parameters filled in.  is that even possible, to source a file but replace some of it with variables?
