I'll add a more useful message for the database dependency module reminding 
user's to set the $db variable and to setup their database.

If you find out anything else lacking - please don't hesitate to drop a 
message here.

I agree Codestriker is not very easy to install.  It is something we would 
like to improve, so any other feedback you have would be good. 
 
However, you don't need to install MySQL.  Your first step should have been 
to initialise your database for Codestriker to use, which in your case (I 
am guessing), was setting up an ODBC datasource with SQL Server. 
 
Then you should have updated your $db variable in codestriker.conf _before_ 
running checksetup.pl.  If this was done, you wouldn't need MySQL 
installed. 
 
Is this how you did things at your site? 

You need checksetup.pl to run before Codestriker can be used.

Two of us have spent 2 days attempting to install Codestriker on Windows

Without further assistance we will have to abandon our interest in

as far as i can see new lines (or <br>) are not added. it is a shame
however that enscript does not use CSS, but straight html formatting.

I haven't been able to get LXR to work so far (just not enough time to
much with it), but I guess a problem there might be (depending on how
codestriker and LXR interact), supoose the actual code has html like
(or even html) passages embedded. It will be a challange to
distinguish between the enscript added and the original html.

Re: [Codestriker-user] Re: integration with enscript

[David Sitsky <sits@us...>]

Actually it may not be lots of work, but a medium amount of it.  :)

We will only be able to support it for those topics that are linked to a 
repository.  That way, we'll be able to generate the entire original 
source file and the entire new source file with the changes applied.  We 
should then be able to run enscript on both of these temporary files, so 
that it is marked up in HTML.  This will need to be done for each file 
being displayed.

Assuming enscript doesn't add newlines, we then should be able to carefully 
apply the codestriker-specific formatting that is required to each line, 
most of which doesn't involve the code itself, but around it.  Enabling 
LXR linking at the same time will be more complex, but may not be 
impossible, with the right regular expressions.

People have asked for this before... it would be a nice feature.  I don't 
know if I'll have time before the new year to look at it though, most 
likely at the start of next year.

Cheers,
David

[Codestriker-user] Re: integration with enscript

[Jason Remillard <jremillardshop@ya...>]

Hi,

It think would be difficult to use enscript. Codestriker needs to do its own
html formatting for adding comments, handing diffs, etc. ViewCVS can just use
the output file almost as is. Codestriker is heavily used with patches, so the
enscript rules are not quite right for a patch file. However, it sure does have
a lot language filters setup. I bet with a some work it would be possible to
make CS read (or translate) the enscript .st files that has the formatting
rules for 70 languages. Of coarse it makes the rendering code more complicated.


It is a good idea, but lots of work to do it in Codestriker. 

Thanks
Jason.

[Codestriker-user] integration with enscript / other language colorizing tool

[Aamer Akhter <aakhter@gm...>]

Hello,

Is there a way to add language colorization to codestriker (much like viewcvs). 

eg:
enscript  -Etcl --color --language=html connectlib.tcl -o /tmp/o.html

will generate colorized html using the enscript provided tcl context
rules. a problem that comes up is that the html output will need to
parsed to insert the codestriker links for line comments.

IMHO this would go a long way to make reviewing much quick/easier.

Yes that association does make sense.  I have always toyed with the idea of 
adding extra fields into the project table, so that a default repository 
and Cc field for the create topic screen could be set initially.

It might also make sense for the user's cookie to be set per-project, so 
that the repository, and other fields will be remember per-project, rather 
than on a global basis as it is done now.

yup. actually we have an internal sourceforge type server and the plan
was to create linkages between sourceforge and codestriker. i think at
least in our case the reviews will happen such that:

project = {repository, module} => project specific mailing list (for
review notifications)

so, even in the same repository there may be multiple modules that
would go to different reviewers etc.

i did notice that the one secod attempts, the fields were
autopopulated, so now i know where that was coming from ;-).

btw. thanks for writing codestriker, it solves a great need for us.

At this stage no.  Most users seem to work on only a single project at a 
time, so having the cookie remember their last project + repository 
selection seems to work ok in practice.

In your situation, do you have users which are members of multiple

If you want to create topics from code which has already been committed 
into CVS, then you enter in values in the START_TAG, END_TAG and MODULE 
fields.

The viewcvs.cgi repository type is not capable of doing this (hence the 
error message) - it can only support topics that have been uploaded into 
Codestriker via the topic text field.

If you configure a pserver or ext CVS repository type (or local), you'll be 
able to create topics using the tags.  The manual has some information on 
this.

[Codestriker-user] viewcvs problem

[Aamer Akhter <aakhter@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm new to codestriker, so this may be something I'm just not entring
or thinkging abour correctly.

When I try to submit a new topic using the web interface. I get this:

Repository "http://cvs.blah.blah.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi
/tst-mpls" doesn't support topic text tag retrieval.


my codestriker.conf:
     'http://cvs.blah.blah.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi /tst-mpls',


doesn't support topic text tag retrieval.


what does this mean?

Sounds good.  We should be able to put this into the repository interface 
so that if/when a Repository object supports it, we can render the link in 
the view topic text window.

[Codestriker-user] Codestriker 1.8.5 released

[David Sitsky <sits@us...>]

Hi everyone,

Codestriker 1.8.5 has just been released.  Its is available from 
http://codestriker.sourceforge.net, in the usual place.  I've appended the 
CHANGELOG to this email.

Cheers,
The Codestriker Team.

Version 1.8.5

* Complete support for VSS repositories.  Topics linked to a VSS
  repository can now be created by either specifying labels with the
  VSS directory of interest for code already committed in the
  repository, or pre-commit reviews can be done by generating diff
  text with the ssdiff.pl script in the Codestriker bin directory.

* Modified log_accum.pl so that deleted files are also included in the
  topic.

* On the topic list screen, there is a new button "Obsolete Topics",
  which allows you to create a new topic which superseeds the selected
  topics.  The obsoleted topics will be changed to state "Obsoleted"
  and will become read-only.  Note the @topic_states configuration
  variable in codestriker.conf needs to be modified to include the new
  'Obsoleted' state to enable this.  The view topic screens have been
  modified to include links if the topic being viewed has been
  obsoleted or superseeds other topics.  A single topic can be
  obsoleted from the view topic properties page, by selecting the
  'Obsoleted' state.

* The $allow_delete config variable has been removed.  If topic
  deletion is to be enabled, the 'Deleted' state needs to be added to
  the @topic_states configuration variable in codestriker.conf.

* Added new configuration variable @Codestriker::exclude_file_types
  which contains a list of filename extensions which Codestriker will
  ignore when creating topics.  These generally include those
  extensions which are binary, or of not any interest.  Contributed by
  Dave Clendenan <dave.clendenan@...>.

* Added a checkbox "Default to HEAD" on the create topic screen which
  is used for topics based off tags.  If this checkbox is enabled, the
  '-f' flag is passed to CVS repositories when executing the 'cvs
  rdiff' command.  This has the effect of retrieving a file's contents
  from revision HEAD if it is not present for the specified tag value.
  This option currently has no effect for other repository types at
  this stage.  Contributed by Dave Clendenan.

* Minor fix for handing CVS rdiff text which end in a binary entry.
  Problem found by Dave Clendenan.

* Shorten the URLs sent in the email messages.

* Minor fix where " characters would not render correctly in the
  status bar or in a tool-tip when hovering over a commented line in
  the view topic window.

  The following changes are from Jason Remillard:

* Fixed a security problem with the repository not being checked
  against the actual configured list. A user could send in any well
  formed repository string and Codestriker would just take it, even if
  it was not configured.

* Fixed a bug preventing create topic from working when the user had
  just one repository working. The cookie was overriding it because it
  was missing from the html code.

* Subversion repositories can now be configured with a username and
  password in the configuration file if authentication is required.
  Any errors from accessing subversion are written to STDERR.

Exactly. Subversion will prepend the author and revision information 
inline. For example (taken from the svn book)

$ svn blame http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/readme.txt

I would do something like this... first we already have the following 
options at the top of every topic:

Download topic text | View in monospace font | View with minimal screen 
width. | Tab width set to 8 (change to 4)

I would just add one more that said something like "View with(out) line 
annotation". The wording could be different. This would just toggle 
showing line numbers, and showing line number, author, and revision.

CVS has annotate. I think this is common to most scm tools.

Re: [Codestriker-user] svn blame

[David Sitsky <sits@us...>]

Hi Sean,

I am not a SVN user yet, but I take it the "svn blame" command tells you 
which users modified which lines?

How would you see this affecting the Codestriker display?  Interesting 
idea.... I wonder if CVS and other systems support this kind of 
information.

I am guessing CVS does, as LXR displays this information somehow.
