passt: Relicense to GPL 2.0, or any later version

2023-04-06T16:00:33+00:00

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.

Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL
wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt
codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.

Change licensing terms to the GNU General Public License Version 2,
or any later version, with written permission from all current and
past contributors, namely: myself, David Gibson, Laine Stump, Andrea
Bolognani, Paul Holzinger, Richard W.M. Jones, Chris Kuhn, Florian
Weimer, Giuseppe Scrivano, Stefan Hajnoczi, and Vasiliy Ulyanov.

hooks: Temporarily disable demo generation in pre-push

2022-10-26T04:56:25+00:00

The out-of-tree Podman patch needs to be rebased every second week or
so, and I'm currently trying to get that upstream:
  https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/16141

Disable demo generation for the moment, so that I avoid wasting time
with those rebases. We'll re-enable it later.

hooks/pre_push: Fix upload of CI's logs and terminal capture file

2022-09-23T22:01:39+00:00

The test_logs directory contains a directory: fix the wildcard so
that scp doesn't fail.

Terminal capture files are now deleted every time we re-run the
demo script: upload CI's .cast file before it's gone.

test: Move perf.js report file to $LOGDIR/web

2022-09-13T09:12:41+00:00

The tests generate a performance report in $BASEPATH/perf.js and
hooks/pre-push copies it to the website.  To avoid cluttering the working
directory, instead put perf.js in $LOGDIR/web, since it's a test output
artefact.  Update hooks/pre-push to copy from its new location.

test: Move video processing files to $STATEBASE

2022-09-13T09:12:41+00:00

The asciinema video handling creates a number of temporary files (.uncat,
.start, .stop) which currently go into the source tree.  Put them in the
temporary state directory to avoid clutter.

The final processed output is now placed into test_logs/web/ along with the
corresponding .js file with links, since they're essentially test
artefacts.  hooks/pre-push is updated to look for those files in the new
location when updating the web site.

2022-03-02T13:02:03+00:00

Upload gzipped js snippets for usage with gzip_static in nginx or
equivalent. Convert png drawings to webp for smaller size, use them
as alternatives in README.

passt, pasta: Run-time selection of AVX2 build

2022-02-28T15:46:28+00:00

Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for
distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with
specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains
from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines.

For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple
wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.
