Subject: [Irmis-devel] Migration to Mercurial

 

Hi all,

 

I have been doing some preliminary work to migrate to a distributed version
control system, namely Mercurial. After fiddling around, I am able to import
the repository with the whole history in the following directory structure:

 

- contrib (contains projects that are either experimental, or they are just
not going to be part of the standard distribution. Essentially it contains
what branches used to contain, since we weren't using branches a real
branches)

- docs (contains the documentation as before)

- trunk (contains the trunk as before, which constitute the main
distribution)

 

We may revise this directory structure, but it would be done as a separate
step as to not complicate things further.

 

There are two things I'd like to ask. First, if there is any reason to
postpone this migration (for example, someone has some work in the pipeline,
.).

 

Second, I will need to convert the usernames in subversion to ones used
according to the standard practices in distributed systems, which is simply
to use full names and e-mail address. I have made this tentative list, where
the e-mails are taken at the time of the contribution. Please, check the
spelling of your name and your mail address and let me know of any changes
you may want.

dondohan=Don Dohan <do...@bn...>

karipid=Dan Karipides <ka...@tx...>

vikikivi=Vikram Aravamudhan <va...@bn...>

 

There are a few things I still need to sort out (so, this is not final yet),
but if everything goes well and nobody objects, I will probably make the
migration next week. I will make an announcement when I start the conversion
(so that people don't commit during that process) and when the conversion is
finished.

 

Thanks,

Gabriele

Hi all,

 

Time for a new release:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/irmis/

 

The biggest news is the contribution of the PHP API from Peter Beard
(National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory). Like the Java API, sits
on top of the service layer and consumes the XML. It is bundled with the
service layer, a tarball with the code plus the output of doxygen for
reference documentation.

 

Most of the rest of the work has been on the applications. Doug Sheffer
added channel support in the ComponentType editor. Other improvements:
per node ordering in the component trees, better and more consistent
ComponentType search panel, Excel export of a set of components and
various bug fixes. I have also started to review part of the Java API,
mainly to make it more "script friendly" by allowing to make complex
operations more readily available.

 

We should also celebrate another milestone: today we had our 1000th
commit to our repository!

 

Full change log is available on Trac at:
