[wxCode-users] wxCode further enhancements

[Otto W. <ott...@or...>]

First it's rather difficult to communicate with all the developers at
wxCode. I'd really appreciate if all would subscribe to wxcode-users.

I'm not very satisfied with how wxCode evolves mostly because the update
of the component list isn't done automatically. Since I haven't gotten
any help for the PHP solution I still do it manually. So if you want to
have your project info updated, it's your task to keep your Readme
updated and post a message to wxcode-users, annonce the update. Then
I'll update the website accordingly. Don't send this messsage to me, the
right places is wxcode-users.

Note: I've changed the format of the Readme-file, when you update yours
look at the Readme in crashprint component "http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wxcode/wxCode/components/crashprint/Readme?view=markup".

You might also look at the wxScintilla component, it contains a rather
simple Makefile for building a library. IMO it should be very easy to
adapt it to any other library.

I've updated the readmes for wxxml2, wxscript, keybinder and palettefrm 
components...
Let me know if I have something more to do...

I've updated the project list, check if I've done everything right.

I've seen you reference the docs as "../docs...". That doesn't work
since web folder and CVS is something completely different. To make them
available you have to generate the html files and put it into a folder
(html?) into the "website" in CVS. Through a cron job "website" from CVS
is extracted into the web folder but since my name starts with a "w"
it's only done in once a while. So if you change something write it to
the list or check if your cron jobs are done more often.

[wxCode-users] Component folder structure

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi Otto,
    since I'm going to make some new releases of my components, I would
like to make them completely working... ;-)
So I would like to ask you one thing:

should the docs of a component go to website folder of that component ?
I currently keep the docs into a docs subfolder and to avoid duplicating the
doc files, I just refer them, as you said, as "../docs".
I think that the cron job can be easily modified to extract not only the 
website folders
but also the docs folders...isn't it ?

Let me know,
Francesco

I could but I don't like it since it's a special case. And just make all
docs available on the net isn't a good idea.

1. Isn't there a way to link a directory in CVS to another place?

2. Could you do it the other way around, adding a doc directory to the
website? Whenevery you retrieve from the CVS you could easily move this
doc directory to the correct place in your tarball. I do this in all my
apps when I retrieve anything from wxCode.

ok

I don't know; since a program like ViewCVS is required to view the contents
of a CVS repository, I don't think that WWW usage of a CVS module is 
possible... :-(

I think I will put the docs into a subfolder of the "website" folder and 
then I'll
create a little HTML page in the docs folder of component which redirects to
website/docs....

I'll let you know when I've done with my changes so that the complist
can be updated (if you want I can update it myself...)

Thanks,
FM

Fine, just send a note.

I've move the website update script "wxCode-website" to
"/home/groups/w/wx/wxcode", you can try if it works in your cron job.

I've also move my "TreeListCtrl" script there to show I build a source tarball.

Hi

I copied the script into my home folder and I modified it so that it now 
looks like:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs1:/cvsroot/wxcode

cd /home/groups/w/wx/wxcode
cvs checkout -d htdocs wxCode/website

cd /home/groups/w/wx/wxcode/htdocs/components
cvs checkout -d keybinder        wxCode/components/keybinder/website
cvs checkout -d paletteframe     wxCode/components/paletteframe/website
cvs checkout -d wxscript         wxCode/components/wxscript/website
cvs checkout -d wxxml2           wxCode/components/wxxml2/website
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I tried to run it: cvs complained about a missing .cvspass so I created 
an
empty one with the command "touch .cvspass"; after that CVS did work but I 
got
the following messages:

===================================================
[frm@sc8-pr-shell1 frm]$ wxCode-website
? htdocs/components
cvs checkout: Updating htdocs
cvs checkout: Updating htdocs/images
cvs checkout: cannot rewrite CVS/Entries.Backup: Permission denied
cvs checkout: cannot rewrite CVS/Entries.Backup: Permission denied
cvs checkout: cannot rewrite CVS/Entries.Backup: Permission denied

cvs checkout: Updating keybinder/docs
cvs checkout: Updating paletteframe
cvs checkout: Updating wxscript
cvs checkout: Updating wxxml2
[frm@sc8-pr-shell1 frm]$
====================================================

Now, if I go to http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/components/keybinder/ I can 
see the old index.html...
it seems that I do not have permissions to rewrite files but I do have 
permission to create new ones:
the docs folder http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/components/keybinder/docs was 
missing before
my commands....
I added wxCode-website to my cronjobs but currently it doesn't work....
anyway I think that a simple CHMOD command on the HTDOCS folder could 
work... obviously
I cannot do it since I don't have permission...

thanks; anyway, since I've added the useful "zip" and "tarball" targets to 
the bakefiles I use for all
my components, I already have a simple script which I use to build source 
tarballs...

Thanks,
FM

I've given htdocs/components/keybinder/ g+w rights but I'm not sure if
that's enough. Try it out.

It works !!

Thanks,

Re: [wxCode-users] Component folder structure

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi Otto,
    I've got another little problem: now I don't have write access to 
wxcode/htdocs/components/keybinder/docs...

can you chmod also that dir ?

thanks,
FM
