Abstract

Rewriting the remote control and telnet interfaces has been a long standing issue. Once the new playlist is finished in 0.8.6, we can begin merging those two interfaces ... well in fact rewriting most of the stuff.

Ideas/goals/...

  • use new playlist
  • advanced shell/telnet features (autocompletion, history, ...)
  • allow multiple remote connections on the interface
  • authentification: should we have only one level or several ?
  • make it possible to "browse" the modules like a file system. This would be usefull to change variables which registered callbacks on the fly. (On a developer's point of view it would also simplify visualisation of the different module's interaction)
  • keep backwards compatibilty with old telnet and rc modules. telnet is definitively a must have, i don't really know about rc.

TODO

  • define all the commands and different features which will be needed.
  • ...
