When reporting a bug, please +do the following: + +1. Provide a description of the bug. How did you get it and which + version of Ouroboros were you using? Which Operating System are you + on? +2. Provide as much technical information as possible (system logs, + debug traces, \...). +3. If possible, provide a minimal code example to reproduce the bug. +4. If you can provide a bugfix, provide it against the HEAD of the most + stable branch where the bug is present and send the patch to the + mailing list. + +Todo list +--------- + +We are currently looking for + +- Testing and bugfixing. +- Integration testing for the build system beyond the "make check" + unit tests. +- People that are interested in setting up some nodes to establish a + global testing layer. +- Non-blocking flow allocation: Allow specifying a {0, 0} timespec to + return immediately and use fevent() to know when the flow is ready + (or allocation failed). +- Asynchronous IPC over the UNIX sockets. For each command to the + IRMd, we create a UNIX socket, send the request and wait for the + response. This could be changed so that there is only a single UNIX + socket that is used for all messaging. This would simplify parallel + querying of the IPCPs and speed up flow allocation. The far-future + option is to ditch UNIX sockets and bootstrap Ouroboros local IPC + over itself. +- ECDH-AES encryption using libssl and/or libgcrypt. The goal is to + support both libraries so that we have a fallback should major bugs + be discovered in one of them. +- Customized packet serialization to remove the dependency on Google + Protocol Buffers. We like GPB, but it's not perfect. Importing + .proto files may give rise to multiple definitions and we found no + way to solve that. +- Caching for the DHT. +- Cross-compilation to OpenWRT (musl). +- Ported applications! If you want to add native Ouroboros support for + your applications, just let us know and we will help you out! |
