PLEASE READ! I am not writing this for the archives ;-)

A short update on the PISA workflow and the test environment:

a) never compile on your virtual machine... and I mean NEVER!

b) always compile on your host or on power (best is on power).

c) checkout your sources into a) your home folder OR b) the build folder on power (which doesn't exist yet but will exist tonight or on monday... more infos are about to come).

d) Do not use make install on your vms or anywhere. make install just copies the binaries from the project directory to your local file system. Since you want to be working with the project directory make install is NOT what you want.

e) use the binaries directly from the project directory. e.g. use / hipd/hipd to start the hipd, use firewall/hipfw to start the firewall.

f) send questions to the list so everyone can learn from the answers.

g) ask questions. If you are stuck somewhere it is probably because of missing information and NOT because you are stupid. Please ask questions!


Best regards, have a nice weekend, enjoy the sun (which is a rare occurance in Aachen)!

Tobi
