So here I am. You met me ONline... Stefano knows me for being a loud and critical ba***rd at the Cocoon list.
That's for sure :-)
Happy to see you moving some of reality touch overhere.
Well, I know that individuals are still individuals in a community, but I interpreted 2 things in Peter's message + one from other messages surrounding Merlin;
1. The changes were a roadmap of what to do next.
2. "Implied" that a lot of "dead meat" is going to be cut away, and new "dead meat" to be defined.
3. Phoenix future may be a deprecation into Merlin.
Hmmm, nobody can know what will happen if avalon reaches that point.
Also, Stefano has been fairly "loud" about Cocoon's dependency on Avalon, and Avalon was a "moving target", continiously creating problems in the Cocoon camp. That's part of my baggage coming here.
i would like to point out that I'm fairly pleased to see how avalon is working toward resolving this. Also Berin has been valuable in helping us getting things in place and keeping up updated on where avalon is going.
the proof of this is that cocoon was now able to compile on gump last night.
This is a proof of the fact that work and communication has been valuable for both projects.
BTW, I managed the conversion ( Phase I ) of my Process Control framework into a Phoenix server in just over 2 days (+4 hours of studying Avalon in papers).
Steps that were taken;
1. Introduced a new class, implementing a bunch of Avalon interfaces, and coping the "startup code" from the old bootstrapper. And a .xinfo file for this block.
2. Moved some code around in that class.
3. Change in the build.xml
4. Changed the code for establishing ProductRoot and ProjectRoot dirs.
5. Created a new "legacy Logger" class, and let the "LoggerFactory" serve it, mapping old logs to Avalon Logger.
6. A separate project for the SAR assembly. Killed off one text file in favour of config.xml.
That's it.
Phase II is starting next week, where the legacy services will be transformed into Avalon Blocks. And the legacy stuff should be just as easy as the "whole app", since they follow the same "similar" life cycle as Avalon has in place.
I AM VERY PLEASED!!!!
there are jewels sparsed around avalon. sometimes it's hard to find them, sometimes, it's hard to appreciate them.
I consider ego fights a transitional thing, hopefully, in the future, those egos will get tired of fighting and new people will bring fresh air and things will get back to normal testosterone levels.
Thanks to everyone who has brought Avalon-Phoenix this far, although reading this list over the last couple of days, I must say you quabble(?) a lot.
quabble?
