A pfSense roadmap
-
Wow!
There is just something magical reading the project map for 3.0 while feasting on a Cadbury's almonds and raisin chocolate bar.
But…any consideration for the Wireless ISP guys? No MPLS implementation? No MIPS hardware as yet? Can these be options for consideration for small ISP types?
-
Fortran IV - holes in punched cards can be seen. And the 6 position is marked usual. ;)
Python? Programming with spaces? Loss/extra space and the program behaves unpredictably? Forget copy/paste, move pieces of code, and so on?
Great… :( -

Did I say there would not be MPLS, or GRE support?
No, I did not. It's a path, jtls.
In any case, 2.x is always an option on existing hardware.

Great… :(If it forces us to maintain proper style and spacing, it's not a bad thing.

python is a lot like lisp without the parenthesis. Once you figure that out, it gets easy.

@gonzopancho:
The next PC Engines board has a Jaguar (so: AES-NI) 2 or 4 core CPU, 2 or 4GB RAM (ECC on the 4GB model) and (wait for it), Intel NICs (I imagine these will be i217/218 class.)
Intel NIC's? That is awesome, where did you see this?
-
[…]and the program behaves unpredictably?[…]
Forgot something:
Unpredictable behavior will most likely be caught by the copious amount of unit tests we'll surely be adding during the rewrite.

Pascal told Chrs months ago.

Sounds like nice hardware. These will work well when its 32C outside, hotter inside and no airconditioning? (Its a serious question)
-
I don't design the PC Engines boards.
The RCC-VE & RCC-DF will.
-
Totally
@gonzopancho:
apinger needs a re-write. It's garbage code.
-
rewrite can't happen soon enough dual wan failover is what brought me to Pfsense on my connections it no longer works

Do we have anywhere we can get more info on this? Sounds like it's worth waiting for before my next upgrade!
Thanks,

They expect the new board mid-2015 and it's also expected to deliver full gigabit transport with pfSense… (called 'em and asked).

I'll take that over an unreadable perl script with no whitespace any day of the week. :-)
See above, re: coding style.

Mice were crying, injected, but continued to eat a cactus. ;D
50% of the source code holds significant whitespaces. Tabs canceled because for 20 years and have not decided what to do with them.

Well, yes, it is an advantage Perl. Read compressed JS is also impossible, but one press of the button in the editor and we can see the code in your favorite style to us. Just Perl and the vast majority of system programming languages so may, not only C-like, but Python - no. ;)

Because you can't mangle python into an unreadable mess in quite the same way, so it's not necessary. :)
