[WG: Sakai QA] QA servers and Config Viewer/Editor

[Matthew Jones]

The trunk of both tools are updated to work with 2.6. Config Viewer builds
and installs without any problem and only binds to kernel. This should be
easy to drop onto a QA server.

Config Editor requires a patch to the kernel, which is something that
generally isn't done on the QA's (kernel builds).

I agree that having config viewer would be useful. We've been running it at
michigan for awhile, and are running the 2.6 modified version. The problem I
can see with having config editor is that while it could be useful for one
person to test some settings on a QA server, it would make the server
settings constantly variable. It also doesn't persist the settings making
the QA also a less predictable instance.

If you need to alter a certain property to verify a change, just send a note
to the list and I'm sure one or more of the servers admins could accommodate
your request.
