Description (last modified by Jiri Svoboda)

(Was: Eliminate Device Mapper) Knights, new plan: Devmap will not be eliminated, but converted into a Location Service. Location service functionality consists of two major parts:

  • Look up service by name (naming, white pages)
  • Look up service by type (trading, yellow pages)

Devmap already supports the first part. The tasks required are thus:

  • Rename devmap to loc, devfs to locfs
  • Implement loc categories, a replacement for devman classes
  • Support for easy construction of unique service names

After this is done, devman will be updated accordingly:

  • Changes in devmap to utilise loc categories
  • Route connections directly from loc to server, not through devman
  • Optionally implement devfs companion server for devmap (not necessary)
