[Icecast-dev] checkpoint into Ices2

[Rebeli-Szabo Tamas]

Hello,

I'd like to extend Ices2 in order to make it capable of managing 
checkpoints.

My assignment is to write a high-availability streaming server using 
OpenAIS. I decided to use Icecast and Ices.

Ices should periodically save relevant information to a checkpoint, so 
that when it crashes and then restarts, it can continue to provide the 
stream from the point it left off, based on the information in the 
checkpoint.

I am, however, not sure what information I have to put into the 
checkpoint and which source files should I modify to do so, as there a 
more than a dozen of them.

I would highly appreciate some help.

Thank you in advance,

tom
