Something I have long desired is diff tool for mv records (that will

use standard diff/patch output) so it can integrate with other tools.

 

Maybe a packager for SB+

 

A diff tool for SB+ that understand what records make up an SB+ object.

 

I started some thinking this direction on a sourceforge project, but

got busy on many other things.

Re: [U2] Code Collaboration

2011-11-18 Thread John Thompson
So, I thought what the original poster was getting at was:

1) Create a documentation/wiki/example site
2) Make it searchable
3) Have useful examples that make sense to everyone
4) Also post the vendor/var docs
5) Collaborate on ideas (like we do here)

Maybe you guys are talking about something else...

Github, svn, cvs, PRC and all those are great tools, but, they probably
aren't going to create the Wikipedia of the MV world.

The above can be done, but, it needs to become a living/breathing thing
that gets updated a lot, otherwise, folks won't use it.  Hence the
challenge- making it a living/breathing thing.

I know this kind of thing has been tried, and is being tried... but there
probably isn't enough flag waving and marketing to keep it going.

Or people create something, and try to make it subscription based, which in
this day and time is never going to work with something like the above.

Some of the things I know about are:

http://www.nuwiki.com/cgi-bin/nuwiki.cgi?homeproject=nuwiki
http://www.keyally.com/prdb/universe/basic_tree_all.html
http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

Anyway, I'd like to help with something like that.  I'm just not sure at my
stage in life, that I have the time to spearhead it and become the chief
Architect of something like that.

 I think this would propel both use of the code, and smisuse/s

 Great that there are all these new possibilities, but if you have to
 figure everything out yourself it becomes very difficult to keep up with
 the technology.
 A lot of VARs (especially ours) are no help if you get the feeling they
 know even less then you do.
 It is very frustrating if the business asks, 'can we do that?' and you
 can only answer, 'yes, I know it's possible but I don't know how to make
 it work.'
 And how am I to show the young guys all the flash things I have seen in

Re: [U2] Code Collaboration

2011-11-18 Thread Wjhonson

As the OP, I like the idea of a wiki, provided it can either use straight HTML, 
use MediaWiki markup (which is slightly different), or use a WYSIWIG like 
sites.google.com or pbwiki uses.  I find that only a few of these have gained 
sufficient traction that most gearheads know how to use them, the other 
competitors are just more headaches.

Make it searchable.  Sure.  I assume that any web pages are searchable.  You 
have to actively make something not searchable AFAIK.

Useful examples - hopefully.  Make sense to everyone - probably not as 
possible.  But anything that doesn't make sense, you'd be able to markup

I didn't address docs, but sure why not.

Collaborate - that's the main point of my message really.  To find a way to 
collaborate that is more immediate, and more used that PickWiki which seems 
very cob-webby to me.

Re: [U2] Code Collaboration

2011-11-18 Thread Steve Romanow
In order to realize this vision, does every solution have to be
implemented in PICK?

If the goal is to make our development tasks more efficient it is
making sure the labor that one of us puts in is not reproduced by
another, i.e. Pick syntax files for various tools.

The collaboration point whether it is pickwiki or another, does not
have to host the code, but pointers to the places where the resource
can be maintained properly.

An example is the MAKEXML program on the wiki.  I have used that many
times and I seriously appreciate ECL and KRJ for making it available.
Is it perfect, not really, every time I use it, I get the docstring
twice.  The wiki is not the way to communicate that it needs a patch.
If I did (which I should) fix my copy, who do I communicate it to?  We
also need to let people know under what license we post the code
under.  Can I put MAKEXML up on my github and patch it, giving
attribution to ECL and KRJ?

We need a small handful of people who are willing to work with setting this up

Github is pretty good for that, as well as bitbucket.  Forks are
cheap, and you can also set yourself as watching a repo.

In my bitbucket u2-tools repo is a copy of ADD_XML_ELEMENT() which was
from Gregor's UV space blog.  I talked to him and he was ok with me
putting it up there, but that is my modded copy to work with Unidata,
not universe.

Nearly all of the tools we have discussed offer an rss feed.

I am not sure how realistic it is for source code to be edited in wiki
fashion.  What about testing?  Where do you file bugs or feature

Watching a github site, means you have to go to github.
Rather, we should have a site where you can subscribe through email, to 
changes, so they come to your email box.

Re: [U2] Code Collaboration

2011-11-18 Thread Rex Gozar
FYI - PickWiki does have an RSS feed.

Also, have any of you considered Brian's U2 User wiki/website?  The
wiki has a WYSIWYG editor, and the website has forums.  And the site
may already have an RSS feed or email notifications.

But let's face it, nobody's going to change or tweak your program code
just because they can.  If your code is useful to them, then they
might download and use it.  And in the slim chance they make an
improvement that they think might make a difference to someone else's
life, they might make the time to post their mod.  There are hundreds,
if not thousands, of software projects publicly available that no one
takes any interest in -- why should a PICK project be any different?
Sure, code snippets get discussed and rewritten here, but that's
because it is a snippet, not a complete program.

This is not a tool or convenience problem.  Most people are simply not
inspired to share what they know; those that are inspired are already
sharing.

That's a realistic, if somewhat cynical view.  It doesn't seem unreasonable for 
those
who are inspired to give it a shot and see what happens.  Personally, I think 
the 
question how best to collaborate on code is a solved problem: 
http://github.com.  A
wiki is not the complete answer to the question, though it can play a part.

There have been many, many, attempts over the years (from BIX to usenet to 
U2users) to
do a pick version of gnu.  Maybe the time is finally right for it to work?

[U2] Question about UniVerse indexes...

Hi,
I'm trying to find a command at TCL or in BASIC that will provide a list of UV 
indexes.  LIST.INDEX truncates the dictionary id.  I know back on Prime 
Information you could use SELECTINDEX to get a list of indexes, or indexed 
values, depending on how you used the function.  I'm having trouble finding a 
similar function...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
