| 16:26:47 | sean-k-mooney | so even if we keep it in bash woudl liek to move more toward devstack style bash with shared resuabel fucntions but ya i have nto really said that outload before | |
| 16:28:16 | sean-k-mooney | im glad you and chandan have start contibuting ot extending the pci-sim i just was not expecting ye too this cycle so i tought i woudl have time to do that cleanup before then | |
| 16:28:30 | jgilaber | yes, most of the code in those scripts is duplicated | |
| 16:29:06 | jgilaber | it's great to have it to test, but I found it a lot harder to work on | |
| 16:29:28 | jgilaber | AI has been really useful for this | |
| 16:29:56 | sean-k-mooney | yep, it will get eaiser once alot of the strucre is put in palce and more of the context on how it was intedned to work and be extened is wirten down | |
| 16:30:15 | jgilaber | although I'm less confident on its output since I have a harder time reviewing | |
| 16:30:17 | sean-k-mooney | but i agree ai has been makign building this type of test infra much more practical | |
| 16:30:28 | jgilaber | at least it seems functional | |
| 16:31:51 | sean-k-mooney | im undecieded if i still want to eventually look at upstreamign this to the linux kernel | |
| 16:32:05 | sean-k-mooney | im sure they woudl have lots of clear and valudable feedback | |
| 16:32:36 | jgilaber | it would probably quite a bit of work as well I guess | |
| 16:32:58 | jgilaber | depending on how we've diverged from the kernel style | |
| 16:33:07 | sean-k-mooney | ya its nto a discieon to make lightly or one we have to make in the near term | |
| 16:34:07 | sean-k-mooney | for me i think the cost of upstream is not warrented until we have something stable that we have provien to work for the usecase we intent to test | |
| 16:34:59 | sean-k-mooney | if in a cycle or two we find we do not need to extend it much and its stable we could start that conversation | |
| 16:36:13 | sean-k-mooney | its much easier to start a conversation by "hey we built this thing that we find useful and would like to share it to see if its useful to the kernel comunity too" | |
| 16:38:07 | jgilaber | I imagine it would be useful for many people | |
| 16:38:18 | jgilaber | since there does not seem to be many solutions out there | |
| 16:38:30 | jgilaber | or very limited ones like the mtty module | |
