\r\n15:58 < cj> lluis: since my friend isn't online to bounce ideas off of, how \r\n            'bout I ask you? :)\r\n15:59 < lluis> cj: heh, ok\r\n15:59 < cj> a first pass would be a web form that takes some information about \r\n            a package and stores it to a database.  those data are exposed via \r\n            as an xml file, and all entries are listed on a separate page as a \r\n            registry\r\n16:00 < cj> http:\/\/someregistry.org\/register_product.cgi, \/list_products.cgi, \r\n            \/view_product.cgi?id=1\r\n16:01 < cj> the data stored in relation to the product would be version, \r\n            package type, build type, license, distribution uri, author\r\n16:02 < cj> the IDE would add another tab next to 'browse', 'pkg-config' and \r\n            'gac' that would query \/list_products.cgi and present them in a \r\n            manageable fashion\r\n16:03 < cj> I don't want to over-engineer, since I don't have a lot of spare \r\n            time to implement.  first pass = dumb but working\r\n16:03 < lluis> well, if we are going to have server side logic, we better use a \r\n               web service\r\n16:04 < cj> sounds reasonable, but I don't have time to ramp up on that right\r\n            now.  how 'bout I make the cgi's interface reliable so a web \r\n            service could be built to replace it?\r\n16:05 < mhutch> cj: clean urls please :)\r\n16:05 < cj> mhutch: define 'clean' :)\r\n16:06 < mhutch> no \".cgi\" for a start\r\n16:06 < cj> okay\r\n16:06 < lluis> cj: what you plan to use to implement that?\r\n16:07 < cj> lluis: perl.  I'm good at it and can fix things without having to \r\n            ask stupid questions like \"how do I construct an HTTP request \r\n            object\" :)\r\n16:07  * mhutch cries\r\n16:08 < cj> enough from the peanut gallery\r\n16:09  * mhutch starts throwing peanuts at cj\r\n16:11 < lluis> cj: well, the server side implementation is not so important\r\n16:11 < lluis> as well as we have a client c# library that encapsulates it\r\n16:11 < lluis> I mean as long as\r\n16:12 < mhutch> IMO it would make sense to do it in a language that users (i.e. \r\n                potential contributors) are likely to know\r\n16:12 < mhutch> but maybe that's just me\r\n16:12 < cj> mhutch: I promise that I'll write it in c# after I get it working\r\n16:13 < cj> mhutch: it's hard for me to get anything done, though, if I have to \r\n            learn how to do it while I'm doing it.  I enjoy re-writing my perl \r\n            code in c#, though.  that's how I started learning it in the first \r\n            place :)\r\n16:13 < mhutch> cj: I'd be happy to provide pointers\r\n16:14 < lluis> mhutch: I don't think it is so important for the server side.\r\n16:14 < mhutch> cj: some things would be easier to do directly in C#, for \r\n                example, web services in C# are near-trivial\r\n16:17 < lluis> cj: hmm, in fact in my implementation proposal the reusable \r\n               components are just add-ins, so we can just use the existing \r\n               add-in repository format\r\n16:17 < cj> lluis: is there one?  I'll google it.\r\n16:18 < lluis> cj: I don't think it is documented. Add-in repos are just as set \r\n               of files which can be generated using the mautil tool.\r\n16:53 < lluis> cj: if you are interested, I can send you the library repository \r\n               client I wrote when I worked on that on the hack week\r\n17:11 < cj> lluis: sure, thanks.  I'll use it as reference as I poke.\r\nDay changed to 09 Jan 2009\r\n03:10 <@cj> okay... now for coding...\r\n03:20 <@cj> this is the part where I use my production web server to develop \r\n            code.  everybody watch!\r\n03:29 <@cj> http:\/\/repository.colliertech.org\/\r\n03:29 <@cj> tada\r\n03:29 <@cj> I crack myself up.\r\n04:13 <@cj> http:\/\/repository.colliertech.org\/register\/\r\n04:13 < SeveredCross> Neato.\r\n04:14 <@cj> yeah.  doesn't store your data yet, but *shrug* it's >0\r\n04:15 < SeveredCross> What's the idea, to have a repository of info for \r\n                      Mono-related softwares that aren't packaged in distro \r\n                      repos?\r\n04:15 <@cj> no, to allow people to reference the packages registered here \r\n            through various tools, such as visual studio or monodevelop\r\n04:16 <@cj> http:\/\/wp.colliertech.org\/cj\/?p=301\r\n04:16 <@cj> http:\/\/wp.colliertech.org\/cj\/?p=307\r\n04:17 <@cj> at amazon, we had a 'cradle-to-grave' registration tool that allowd \r\n            folks to create source control repositories, fire off builds, \r\n            request and perform code review, etc.\r\n04:17 <@cj> I don't want to get that fancy, but it inspired me to make \r\n            something that helps to oranize all of these pieces of code we have \r\n            laying around\r\n04:18 <@cj> organize\r\n04:20 <@cj> pkg-config is useful for code you've got on your system, but the \r\n            process of grabbing, installing and then finally referencing is a \r\n            lot of overhead.  if you could do gmcs -r:repos:\/\/foo bar.cs \r\n            -o:baz.exe, that would really reduce the headache\r\n04:20 < SeveredCross> Cool beans.\r\n04:20 < SeveredCross> Sounds like a worthy project. :D\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n\n
