Subject: [Peerfuse] Some news
Message-ID: <20080923211645.GD4546@peerfuse.org>

Hello,

As you may know, we wanted to use the Chimera DHT on Peerfuse to improve
performances.

The job was really colloquial, but it is now (I think) finished.

There is now a lib/dht/ which works with lib/net and lib/util. A small program
in dhttest/ can create a little chimera network where you can send a message to
a specified key.

Now, there is some work to port the peerfuse code to the new DHT API.

First, after a discussion with Mathieu, we think it can be a good idea to remove
peerfuse-lan from the project.
In fact, the differences between peerfuse-lan and peerfuse-net are reduced as
two use the DHT, and will have probably the same protocol. We think it can be a
better idea to only work on peerfuse-net for now, and do a plug-in (when it
will be a plug-in system :p) with the peerfuse-lan properties.

Now, the work isn't finished. I think it will take one or two weeks to have a
peerfuse usable without bugs (I hope!), and there will be a 0.1 release.

Don't forget that you can contribute :) The borring part is finished, now we
can have fun!

Regards,
