Hobix
There were some issues concerning
Hobix and the new
Ruby (1.8.6) that entered Sid recently. I’ve
solved the problem, as you can see, and uploaded a Subversion snapshot
package to experimental.
Update: It seems that
hobix 0.5~svn20070319-1
accidently was uploaded
without share data. This was spotted and fixed by Arnaud, thanks! A new
version (
0.5~svn20070319-2
) is on its way to experimental!
Ruby D-Bus
A few weeks ago I wrote to Arnaud Cornet about the fact that it is quite
amazing that there is
no up-to-date implementation of
D-Bus for Ruby
at all after such a long
time. This resulted a few days ago in our
Ruby
D-Bus project. Some stuff is working
already, quite low-level still, but really nice. I’m looking forward to
designing the high-level
API.
I found out that other people had the same thoughts as us and also
started to work on an implementations on their own without telling
anyone. So, it seems there are three implementions now (as far as I
know) that all have specific features working. I hope we can merge
everything into one project. We’ll see what happens…
OpenID
I have taken some interest into
OpenID, having to register some
accounts on arbitrary forums. I ran into the fact that
Rails recently got OpenID support and that
support for phpBB is coming up, which is nice. Finally it could be over
with all the logins and all the password.
At the moment I haven’t found a statisfactory identity provider yet, so
I started working on my own service.
Ruby
OpenID has an example
server implementation which I am working on to become
FLOIDS: the Free
Luon OpenID Service.
Koditoj
Recently, I inventoried all the programs I authored or co-authored in the
past 8 years. There is some stuff in there that maybe deserves a second
life or at least some description. So, in a series of posts that I’ll
call ‘Koditoj’ (free translatable from Esperanto to ‘things that have
been coded’) I want to go over all these programs and libraries and give
them some attention. More to come soon…
