From 5c21ea51197108524fae54c3fdd6c8048816c08c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Jackson Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2013 18:30:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] NOTES: Remove paragraph about slow-to-prepare messages NOTES contained this paragraph: Some messages may take a long time to prepare (software modexp on slow machines); this is a "please wait" message to indicate that a message is in preparation. This paragraph was immediately after the description of the msg0(msg9) packet - ie, the ordinary data packet. It is therefore at the very least misplaced. In the git history this paragraph was introduced in "Import release 0.1.14" (4f5e39ec). However, the diff for that commit (ie the diff between 0.1.13 and 0.1.4) does not show any code which might correspond to this comment. There is not currently any code in site.c which responds to a message of this kind. I have had a quick look for code which sends such a message and failed to find any. So I think this paragraph represents a never-implemented intent, and should be removed. It certainly predates the "hacky parallelism" by a long way.
