| - | ====== From 32 to 64 bit ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | <wrap lo> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Throughout 2018, most CineSat users have still operated outdated RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 systems with bi-architecture 32- and 64-bit support. RedHat has dropped its support for RHEL 5 more than a year ago in March 2017. | ||
| - | |||
| - | With deployment of next generation servers, only 64-bit applications will be supported and CineSat including all of its 3rd party tools and libraries will be 64-bit, too. In addition, CineSat will be based on an up-to-date operating system platform, because | ||
| - | * New data interfaces require up-to-date interface libraries which are not available for outdated operating systems. | ||
| - | * And new CineSat features make use of latest web technologies and third party systems which require an up-to-date operating system and latest Linux kernels. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Therefore, extended support of old 32-bit systems beyond 2018 will only be possible as separate customer project and will be limited in functionality and in keeping track with latest input data formats. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The current development platform is CentOS 7.5 and will move to CentOS 7.6 by the end of this year. All installations and deliveries in 2019 will be based on the CentOS/RHEL 7.6 operating systems. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP safety> | ||
| - | The CineSat 64-bit migration project is successfully on track. A 64-bit beta release is planned for January, 2019. | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | The major challenge are not the 500.000 souce code lines of the CineSat core, but the __consistent integration of matching versions__ of | ||
| - | * many dozens of open source libraries and tools, | ||
| - | * more than 50 data interface formats, and the | ||
| - | * smooth interplay of several programming languages like C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Unix shell, ... | ||
