[SAGA-RG] sessions at OGF-30

[Sylvain Reynaud]

Hi Andre,


This mail is to answer some questions you asked during OGF SAGA session.

1) usage of monitoring in namespace package :
I said that monitoring was used for implementing a progress-bar for file 
transfer in a GUI. In fact, the monitoring is done through a 
(non-standardized) metric of task, as you suspected it.

2) usage of permissions in namespace package :
As I said during the session, this feature is used and very important 
for several JSAGA users. However, simple unix-like permissions would be 
enough for these use-cases, and anyway we don't have any adaptor 
supporting advanced ACL.


As agreed upon during the SAGA Interop Feast, I have made a patch based 
on the new version 1.1 of the reference Java Bindings for SAGA, in order 
to enable coexistence of several Java implementations of SAGA as shown 
in our demo. I will send this patch in a separate mail.


Best regards,
Sylvain
