Fwd: [Caml-list] [ANN] Release 1.0.0 - A multi-process daemon framework for OCaml

[Anil Madhavapeddy <anil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a really useful Lwt-based 'inetd' for Lwt, which we could
adapt to work with Mirage/Xen as well. Dave is looking into a more
Erlang-style actor module (with process trees), so I packaged up 
Release in OPAM and pushed it to the trunk. 

Try it with "opam install release" if interested.

> I'm happy to announce version 1.0.0 of the Release daemon
> framework for OCaml:
> 
> Github repository: https://github.com/andrenth/release

> From the README:
> 
>  Release is a multi-process Lwt-enabled daemon framework for
>  OCaml, providing facilities for type-safe inter-process
>  communication and privilege-dropping.
> 
>  Its goal is to make it easy to write servers that are
>  released from the calling terminal and to release root
>  privileges when those are not necessary.
> 
> Release provides the following features:
> 
> - Easy creation of 1-to-1 master-slave or 1-to-n master-slaves
>  process architectures;
> - Type-safe and thread-safe interprocess communication;
> - Supervisor features (the master process detects unexpected
>  deaths of its slaves and restarts them);
> - Integer operations on buffers with support for 16, 32, 64
>  and 128 bit integers with support for little- and big-endian
>  representations, plus a functorial interface allowing the
>  definition of operations on other integer sizes in the
>  release.bytes submodule;
> - Generic configuration file parser with built-in validation
>  in the release.config submodule.
