Subject: [PATCH v4 10/17] pesto, conf: Have pesto connect to passt and check versions
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:42:10 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421044217.2500314-11-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421044217.2500314-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

Start implementing pesto in earnest.  Create a control/configuration
socket in passt.  Have pesto connect to it and retrieve a server greeting
Perform some basic version checking.
