Description Corey Ashford CLA 2011-11-21 18:04:15 EST 
Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

RemoteConnection is a package that implements remote launching support for profiling tools, such as Valgrind, gprof, etc.

The existing upstream package is currently built on top of the RSE protocol, and I have an internal version that modifies it (substantially) to run on top of PTP/RDT.

Jeff Johnston has developed a new interface, IRemoteFileProxy, which encapsulates the need for running tools such as autoconf's configure, and then accessing remote files (using any of several protocols), or local files using the same interface.

This new interface should be used in the RemoteConnection class as well, so that it can benefit from its multiple protocol support.

The RemoteConnection class could be renamed to something else, if desired, and provide a lot of, if not all of, the same methods it does today (e.g. recursive file uploads), to make the job of the launcher writer easier.

Without a "remote" bucket, let's just assign this to Jeff and see what happens :)

Me closing it.  This work has already been done.  RemoteConnection uses the proxy services.
