Update: removing MI code - sr-dev

3 Jan 2017

Hello,

based on lib linking in Makefiles, the following modules still use MI,
categorized by their state from my point of view. Hopefully some other
people will help with those listed in 2) to 6).

1) to be removed

   - mi_datagram
   - mi_fifo
   - mi_rpc
   - mi_xmlrpc
   - pua_mi

2) rpc commands implemented

  - dialog - others modules depend on some mi callback from it (qos and sst)
  - qos - this looks ready to wipe out the mi code, but didn't get the
time not analyze properly as I don't use it usually

3) some rpc commands implemented and the rest should not be very complex

  - carrierroute - I implemented the dump rpc command, but it was
reported that it has issues, so it needs follow up.

4) rpc commands have to be implemented, expecting not to be very complex

  - cplc
  - imc

5) expecting some degree of complexity, but they are important modules

  - rtpengine
  - rtpproxy

6) not familiar with the mi commands in these modules, so not able to
assert what to expect

  - ims_dialog - some rpc commands are implemented, not sure if the rest
of MI are used/usefull
  - mohqueue - it doesn't seem complex to implement rpc commands at
first sight, but the indentation style didn't allowed a fast analyze on
a quick look
  - p_usrloc - several mi commands
  - sst - uses some callback for MI from dialog module. qos has
something similar with rpc alternative already implemented
  - userblacklist - several mi commands
  - utils - there are few mi commands related to some forwarding rules:
https://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/modules/utils.html#idp21741924

The 1) to 5) should be done in a way or another, before of after freeze
of 5.0.0. But 6) would require the devs of the modules (or the MI parts)
to help if they want those commands via RPC.

Cheers,
Daniel
