Action: ariel_ is away: busy JohannesV (~jve@62.47.247.42) left irc: "Client Exiting" Action: ariel_ is back (gone 00:26:26) hi ariel_ ok GNURPC API it is important to split the API in different implementation levels like level 1: no object, just remote method execution 1 is reasonably simple to implement (should be able to implement in all languages) level 2: object support via proxy objects, but proxy objects just contain an execute("name","params") method and a "get" "set" method we should define remote calls to other implementations, for getting lists of methods, etc level 3: object support via fully transparent proxy objects, which catch all executed methods and send it over to the remote object since this should be able to work over multiple transports (in python: using __call__) yes, this would be a kind of introspection function which should be added to the API asked in #mono, for C# i'll probably need to build proxy objects using Reflection.Emit, which outputs IL (sort of like meta-assembly) it was basically the same idea as i had a similar way would be done with php - generate code & cache it for the lifetime of the object i.e. Reflection.Emit is a kind of the python "compile" command except you need to write the IL code in :) oh, good look, writing IL :) shouldn't be too much of a challenge to write some simple templates to pass method calls onto the transports however for GNUe, since we have the beautiful python to use, it's much much simpler ;) Seek3r basically said that after this phpgw branch is stabilised it could be version 1.0, and a more structured project will be born that makes the phpgwapi more accessible apps will be composed of a backend & a frontend UI - so GNUe will be able to talk to the apps quite nicely Action: ajmitch wants to see DCL GNUe-ised, with all trigger code implemented in the appserver so we should _really_ work in with him as well, if possible Action: ajmitch pours siesel some caffiene to get him back you don't have cappucino, have you? no, i don't sorry Action: ajmitch needs some at this hour :) I've talked a bit about defining object types with seek3r. ah, the night is young, might as well try & get some stuff done :) great i haven't had a chance to talk to him much yet Action: ajmitch wants a transport tailored for the Hurd ;) Action: siesel is at university (work), but the boss is away :) ah... what do you do at uni a bit server administration, a bit private help desk. a bit lend out books the Hurd is built on IPC provided by the underlying microkernel - it would be nice to write something for that :) (even if it was just proof-of-concept) Action: ajmitch sees he will have 4 GNU/Hurd cds to upload sometime this week you're building the HURD CDs? no, a friend here builds them Action: ajmitch will help him soon at the moment i just upload them for him since 33.6kbps uploads are not healthy ;) stbain (~stbain@66.207.65.76) joined #gnuenterprise. hi stbain good morning ToyMan (~stuq@smtp.dstoys.com) joined #gnuenterprise. jamest (~jamest@hobbes.math.ksu.edu) joined #gnuenterprise. what is the status of that forms/samples/track/forms/contact_manager.gfd form? ew that's a derek form that was created long ago i think it still works but IIRC the data model he had to wrap around was fugly s/data model/pre-existing data model/ Nick change: stbain -> stbain|away I think some parts are quite usable, but I can't test it, because the triggers are broken. there are parts like: blckEmail.helper.object.nextRecord() which looks quite strange. do you know how I can call the nextRecord function now? hi jamest i don't think you can w/o source code modifications as that was digging into the forms internals via a trigger which is now block IIRC jamest: btw, i can open forms in the current dir with navigator if i do "./form.gfd" but not "form.gfd" just fyi :) navigator won't work w/ form.gfd but will work with ./form.gfd in the gpd file? for loading from the current dir, yes siesel: that strangeness is IIRC due to the data structre, IIRC that data was hyper-normalized just like you're taught in class siesel: which doesn't work in the real world in most cases IMHO :) since without the "./" it seems to just search in the default forms path if there is no ./ before form.gfd it looks for that file in ~/gnue/forms siesel: if your gnue is set to load from there, then yup :) there should be a setting for that in gnue.conf but I think we should change it to search in local dir AND default forms path which is why i'm complaining (i can change it if you'd like) :) just wanting to know what the suggested behaviour should be i think i'd like that too so I could test new forms in the std navigator menu by just cd'ing to dir holding new forms and running std navigator jamest: at the moment GFBlock just expose gotoRecord, newRecord and clear, do you think that adding nextRecord, prevRecord, deleteRecord would break anything? Action: ajmitch hacks UIwxpython.py it shouldn't as long as you use the arrays in there to extend the trigger namespace Action: jamest thinkgs that sounded confusing Action: siesel isn't too confused (because he found these arrays :) siesel: seek3r is online now Action: siesel needs some caffeine Action: ajmitch wonders how to handle this in navigator - currently if the os.path.basename(step.location) == step.location, it assumes that the form is in the FormDir Arturas (arturas@bit.codeworks.lt) joined #gnuenterprise. hi again :) hey Arturas Action: ajmitch will check if it exists in current dir first hmm that was just too easy Action: ajmitch emails navigator-support btami (~btami@195.228.11.84) joined #gnuenterprise. hi all! hi btami ajmitch hi is siesel around? he was before like 40min ago i hacked a basically working TreeView.py for designer/reports great!! i'm sending it to jan in e-mail treeview? please tell him if you comes siesel: yo, you have patches waiting! :) 'Object Navigator' wow sounds very nice you know licencing amazes me how so? Hi Bajusz To buy a copy of Office XP you have to pay extra to get the option of upgrading it later hi Arturas, jamest ah yes that's nuts jamest: btw nav patch should be in dcl Action: jamest is making case for OpenOffice/Linux replacements for all main office PCs jamest: that's why i just love Lithuania - you can get any CD for ~$4 :) w/ win4lin netraverse server running Win98 for backwards compatibility (for home use only, of course) grep -v warezTalk irc-logs well my win98 users don't seem to grasp "Don't install software on these systems without permission and without licenses" they always say "ok" that's why i love free software - you don't need to worry about these hassles :) which translates to - "As soon as you leave I'll do whatever the hell I want with software I bring in from the web and from home" that must be a real hassle people solutions dont work ext3 file permissions will work :) you have then to go, search for that software and uninstall it? maybe it would be simplier to restore whole partition from some image? (it's only idea - i don't know what is easier) jamest: I saw a system (win98), which was configured to not allow any installations of new programms by pol files. siesel!! hi siesel siesel: they love you :) josejavier_work (~josejavie@dinamic2-133.drago.net) joined #gnuenterprise. sorry, someone came in and I had to work.

Do you've heard about that secure laptop something project which is a win98 running on a secured filesystem by an underlaying linux + vmware system siesel: i just sended a TreeView.py for designer/reports in e-mail to you please try it, if you have time hi all, i'm looking for a tool to make programs like accounting software, my question is, is gnuenterprise manure enough to do this kind of programs? manure=mature i think you had it right the first time hehe btami: I will try it tonight, thx. there's some accounting software being done in it currently siesel: i can't try your schema stuff, i get:assert "wxFalse" failed:wxPaintDC may be created only in EVT_PAINT handler! btami: which wxPython version are you using? night all, i'm in need of sleep night 2.3.3pre2u on WinXP hmmm, can you try to change wxPaintDC into wxMemoryDC ? josejavier_work: gnue could do accounting but it's very much a work in progress thanks jamest i'd love to see you work with it but I don't want to give impression it'll be easy at this time i'm sure you'll find things that are missing, need improved, etc, etc btami: you should change line 72 into dc = wxMemoryDC() its in designer/src/schema/VisualEditor.py sigh why does next record keep disappearing? i added it back i could swear like a month ago i think this is a very interesting project, an i would like to contribute, my 'probably' next project will be for a company that have like 12 drugs shops, i was thinking on php, but gnuenterprise looks more interesting siesel: before you do too much work i had (as of a month ago a WORKING contact_manager.gfd file) just not in GNUe :) for some fsf stuff dneighbo: cool. could I have a look at it :) holding out on us eh? sigh piss moan its on savannah but you cant readily bbrowse cvs there Action: jamest grabs the thumb shackels and heads toward dneighbo and i dont have all my 'keys' setup up so i cant get cvs from there *sigh* let me look for a second jcater_ (~jason@w202.z065105010.mem-tn.dsl.cnc.net) joined #gnuenterprise. btami (~btami@195.228.11.84) left irc: "later" Action: dneighbo is back (gone 08:16:28) long nap donuts mmmmmm jamest: if you are here can you help on a savannah issue? i cant seem to get cvs via ssh sigh can anyone use ssh to get at gnu cvs stuff? ^chewie (chewie@24.245.14.189) joined #gnuenterprise. yes i put my public key on savannah a LONG time ago and it is indeed there but if i try to use cvs it prompts me for a password what is odd is my user for savannah is dneighbors my user at home is dneighbo im wondering if that might be the issue as my 'key' says dneighbo dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ alias FSF_CONTACT_CVS="export CVSROOT=":ext:dneighbors@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/contacts/"; export CVS_RSH=ssh" dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ FSF_CONTACT_CVS dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ cvs -z3 co contacts dneighbors@subversions.gnu.org's password: i get that whether i use dneighbo or dneighbors@subversions hmmm, this shouldn't be a problem, because my "home" name is jan, but savannah login is siesel even if i cut and paste their instructions dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ export CVS_RSH=ssh dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ cvs -z3 -ddneighbors@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/contacts/ co contacts dneighbors@subversions.gnu.org's password: grrr i hate ssh key stuff and fsf(seems there are always issues dneighbo: try CVS_RSH="ssh -1" dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ export CVS_RSH="ssh -1" dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ cvs -z3 -ddneighbors@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/contacts/ co contacts cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot exec ssh -1: No such file or directory cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ err what is the contents of your ~/.ssh/config file? i dont have one create one and put the single line: BUT in /etc/ssh/ssh_config Protocol 1 i put Host subversions.gnu.org Protocol 1 well, humor me and let's try ~/.ssh/config Action: jcater_ is trying all the angles he knows dneighbo@aegagrus:~/.ssh$ pwd /home/dneighbo/.ssh dneighbo@aegagrus:~/.ssh$ less config Protocol 1 right? ya also, did you upload your "identity.pub" file, or another key? err, you need to reset your CVS_RSH :) uploaded identity.pub i just compared it to what savanah has on file they look the same are you positive there's no line breaks on savannah's copy? slightly different dneighbo@aegagrus:~/cvs$ cvs -z3 -ddneighbors@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/contacts/ co contacts The authenticity of host 'subversions.gnu.org (199.232.41.2)' can't be established.

Just try to write a book in Winword (as some of my users did) and you'll getting very frustrated the number one feature here that was deemed INCREDIBLE is when open office decides it needs to freak out (rarely happens when compared to word/excel) it says 'hey im gonna freak out now, im giong to save this file first for you' ok? click ok then it crashes and reopens your file and you lose no data we are creating quite a few documents in marketing that look fine on screen, you save them, and reopen them, and OpenOffice doesn't redisplay right i cant tell you how nuts they went about that here for most users, though, the OpenOffice upgrade has been fine just don't use several text boxes :) i have found some .doc conversion oddities if abiword would support footnotes, I would use it, because its lightweight and stable. more in spreadsheets than word docs but same kind of thing, after save and open it would well not be perfect but for me i had to fight to get word to do SIMPLE stuff for me, so its been a wet dream :) if i were a power word user i might be frustrated only real feature in spreadsheet that gets my productivity is in excell if you say have A B C jcater: do you've tryed TeXmacs? 1 2 =sum(a1;b1) normally if you go in cell c1 and click the bottom right corner it will copy that formula for as many rows that have data changing the row value for you in open office it doesnt do that so you have to grab right corner and drag it (sigh) i was cranking out some pretty gruesome stuff last week and that was the only real thing that continually irrated me that and a missing feature about page printing :) you can specify width/heigth paging you can say print x% of normal size or print on x number of pages but in excell you can say print on x number of pages wide print on x number of pages down (or something) you can say 1 wide but leave down blank anyhow at least for once there is good choices to be had :) s/is/are this is the best friggin reading I've done in a while http://www.eff.org/IP/IP_SLAPP/20010706_eff_barney_response.html I love the EFF lawyers rock on i love lawyers berating other lawyers :) lo lol in the name of good, yea roflmao inally, we would like to remind you that New York State Code of Professional Responsibility DR 7-102 [?1200.33] and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 provides for sanctions for litigation undertaken without support in existing law or sufficient evidentiary support.

Action: ajmitch waits for someone to commit the miniscule 3-line patch that was sent in... ;) cool a record label owned by an artist (that is a lawyer) who might actually get it basically offers a good selection of his artists stuff for free in mp3 format or you can get in more 'pure' format for .99 cents a song or of course you can buy the album cool http://kungfurecords.com/html/mp3.htm funny i used to really like the vandals (thats how i stumbled on kung fu) come to find out they wrote most of No Doubts stuff and did a lot of work on Sublime's stuff alias (~fallout@pool-151-202-92-27.ny5030.east.verizon.net) joined #gnuenterprise. hi greetings alias hi.... how may we help you, good sir? so.../ do you have a request which we may fulfill? come on now, i know what's going on, its not like its the first time i've heard of GNUe ;) ERR108: Syntax Error please restate your sentence in a format which contains truth hey, i dont feel bad for having not heard of GNUe i dont use "enterprise" software i'm a kid =) you may wish to harass dneighbo with your queries i'm only 16 + 4 years old =) Action: ajmitch 2 and i heard of GNUe a couple of years ago you have consumed information on the website? sure... all information? i guess not *all* information ah you have a grasp on what GNUe is, then? ya i guess so and you realise that it is primarily used in production, unlike that crappy DotGNU wannabe .NET clone? ;) riigghtt... that there are support monkeys trained to sit in #gnuenterprise 24/7 going 'Oook' really? yup hmmm... so who uses GNUe? most people here, i'd say :) any companies or anything? Action: ajmitch is unsure of people using it - i just know that there are quite a few of course cool ok im going back to the safe world of dotGNU =) alias (~fallout@pool-151-202-92-27.ny5030.east.verizon.net) left #gnuenterprise ("Client Exiting"). ook hello dneighbo was just entertaining a DotGNU developer as to what GNUe is [11:26:58] ajmitch: who? i've never heard of it. of course that doesnt mean no one uses it. but i mean it was never /.ed or anything. [11:27:19] * ajmitch sighs maybe you shoudl announce GNUe on slashdot ;) um based on teh quality of folks that troll slashdot nowadays its hardly an honor ie. slashdot and enterprise are somewhat non complimentary :) we have been on linuxtoday and newsforge and even recently in eweek all much more suitable :) when we make a first 'real' application outside the tools and get website abble to with stand slashdot i know, was just joking :) eh? you don't trust ash? ash is probably up to it, but could you handle the hordes of people coming in saying "h3y th1s is a 1337 VB cl0n3!!!" Action: ajmitch has seen a couple of people in here before that were like that you mean, "why not java?" "why not perl" "how are you different than glade?" "you support Oracle and DB2: That's anti-freedom!!!" "this isn't access" hmm we never get that last one (least not yet) "this isn't pgadmin" the first one we get ALL the FRIGGIN time why not java heh "why not XUL?" usually followed by why designer, just use glade have had that with DotGNU, too oh and yes why not XUL thats another common one in fact Java, XUL, Glade probably are the top three early on lots of 'lets use php' now that we are python we get some the usual one in #dotgnu is 'why do you bother with a compiler & stuff when there's mono' why python (for appserver) yep ajmitch: my question for dotgnu generally had been 'why bother' dneighbo: i know :) now that hailstorm is almost defunct and almost all the 'services' initiatives are dead at M$ still something fun to do isnt that the main thing dotGNU was trying to circumvent? and leaving the other stuff to mono? there are an awful lot of companies that are getting pushed into .NET now m$ seems to be waivering a bit on .NET we can still do our webservices & stuff Action: ajmitch doesn't think MS will waver that much we can do webservices today with m$ or .net :) which is why we want a free platform to do them on :) hell we could do them 2 years ago, just no one was claling them 'web services' ;) i know s/with/without freudian slip the 'web services' thing that they're pushing is just a little more integrated i see less 'coolness' in web services and more value in the library stuff ( i dont know the name of it ) CLR - common language runtime or whatever? so that say gnue-common could be written in such a way that C or PHP or Python could use it natively almost like it was swig'ed only without having to swig it yes that's what we will be able to do well, with python at least i think python and java already do xplatform well and so there is no need to replace that with say C# gopal started a python integration thing, which wrapped the pnet runtime webservices exist so there doesnt seem like new standards are needed java & python have their shortfalls - we want to make it easy to migrate off .NET the code sharing among languages is interesting concept though python doesnt have pitfalls rofl merely unexpected ditches an interesting, albeit flawed one :) Action: ajmitch knows that C# is crap for some things, java for others (quite similar), and python crap in a different way :) python might be crap, but we consider it a polished turd python is still very nice wxPython, however... not diarreha like java ;) Action: ajmitch wonders if psu will put that in the KC ;) or bloated gas cramps like C# (i.e. a crap waiting to happen) Action: ajmitch waits for gnue cvs changes to land hmmm xplatform language matrix python - polished turd java - diarreha c# - severe cramps (diarreha waiting to happen) what about C or C++? and php? ajmitch i said cross platform C is cross platform :) c/c++ : consipation (crap that is painful and hard to get out) er constipation php: pebble poops (serious poopers need not apply) anyhow jcater its great Action: ajmitch guesses that derek has a bias or two :) now someone says "Why not java?" we answer "Not enough toilet paper to go around." ajmitch i use php probably more than any other language right now so my bias comes with experience in the trenches not general biased snobbery Action: ajmitch wonders if it's worth splitting code from navigator UI drivers into a UIbase.py seems like the main code sharing is in the runForm method time to run home ok, bye dneighbo (~dneighbo@tmp-200253.flinthills.com) left irc: "nah nah nah nah. hey hey. goodbye." jamest (~jamest@fh-dialup-202094.flinthills.com) joined #gnuenterprise. wb jamest sigh, still no mail no mail? assignment papers ah lex (~alex@host-148-244-140-29.block.alestra.net.mx) joined #gnuenterprise. hey lex!! ajmitch: 'lo im looking for dtm.... thought he might be abducted in the whereabouts of gnue..... you seen this man????
