Why isnt Ninja pool code open source?
-
All most everything in burst is open source but the code to the majority of pools is not.
-
It was promised to make it available month ago, not sure why that does not happen, yet.
Maybe it needs some pressure :-) @crowetic Please make that code available :-)
On the other hand, maybe we get even better pool coded, due to the need ... someone ?!
-
@luxe @tross - we have the source code, or at least most of it - I'm not sure if it's all there - but we don't have Cat's build environment. Making a 1 line change to fix a bug took me two days to figure out the about 800 character compile command. I can build a pool VM for anyone that wants one, and it comes with all the source code if the user wants to build their own build environment, use/learn from the existing code. So it's semi open source, we just can't give you a nice package you can start hacking on, you have to figure out what Cat was doing.

@haitch Ok, if it is ok with @crowetic we should make that public available, so that if someone interested, can learn or use and improve it ...
-
@luxe I'd verify with Crow - but I don't see why not, there's nothing in there thats not in a pool if you wanted one.
-
@haitch I'm not used to c++, so i will not touch it, but maybe someone else ...
-
ive touched various languages c++ being one lol

This code will be eventually phased out and iirc we do not have the source. It is only available as precompiled binaries on a vm image.
The new pool software is coming along very nicely and the source and documentation for it will be made available.
-
Complete source is what I mean.
-
@Focus the source is on the VM - I'm just not 100% if it's complete or not.
-
Yeah. Trying to compile anything always throws a multitude of errors
-
@Focus I recompiled one of the modules to fix a bug. Took me a couple of days, but all the clues you need are in the VM.
