* Don't perform some API self-tests in production mode for performance reasonsRob Crittenden2011-01-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The API does a fair number of self tests and locking to assure that the registered commands are consistent and will work. This does not need to be done on a production system and adds additional overhead causing somewhere between a 30 and 50% decrease in performance. Because makeapi is executed when a build is done ensure that it is executed in developer mode to ensure that the framework is ok. ticket 751
* Execute /usr/bin/python directly instead of /usr/bin/env pythonRob Crittenden2011-01-141-1/+1

* Add API version and have server reject incompatible clients.Rob Crittenden2011-01-141-0/+238
This patch contains 2 parts. The first part is a small utility to create and validate the current API. To do this it needs to load ipalib which on a fresh system introduces a few problems, namely that it relies on a python plugin to set the default encoding to utf8. For our purposes we can skip that. It is also important that any optional plugins be loadable so the API can be examined. The second part is a version exchange between the client and server. The version has a major and a minor version. The major verion is updated whenever existing API changes. The minor version is updated when new API is added. A request will be rejected if either the major versions don't match or if the client major version is higher than then server major version (though by implication new API would return a command not found if allowed to proceed). To determine the API version of the server from a client use the ping command. ticket 584
