Updates about my SoC

Updates about my SoC

Wednesday, July 8. 2009

I guess the three readers of my blog owe me some updates (what? there aren't even three of them?)

I've been working on Scott Chacon's hg-git (my branch can be found here).

Basically, I made it feel more like mercurial. (you feel you're actually using mercurial, not using git and typing hg).

Now you can clone/push/pull from a git repository, git branches are converted to hg bookmarks, and when pushing, all the hg bookmarks are pushed as git branches. The annoying thing now are named branches (since they aren't converted meanfully, and so cause problems).

I have also started working on converting git submodules to mercurial subrepos (a new feature of 1.3). I'm keeping these experimental changes on a patch queue.

P.S. I'm trying to use some desktop blogging software (trying drivel now, if you know of something better, let me know). I hope to be able to blog more often.

Update: drivel couldn't send the post and gnome-blog added too many <p> tags all over the place, so I'm still searching for a better tool.

Jonatas EstevesHey, I'm one of the anonymous readers of your blog.
.
I came here one day through the vala page on live.gnome.org.
.
I'm starting with vala and like it a lot. I like anjuta too. So I would love to see them both well integrated.
.
So I keep coming here for news on your plugin. :-)
.
I see it's not updated since vala 0.5. Just wanted to know, are you still working on it? Is it still being maintained?
.
Thanks for the blog, for the plugin and for the answer.

Abderrahim KitouniTheoretically, it's still being maintained, but in practice, I don't have the motivation to keep working on it. I still have a patch queue waiting to be finalized and pushed.
I also need some feedback from users on how to improve it, what's annoying, what's needed, etc...
I'd love to see Vala in Anjuta working as well as Java in Netbeans or Eclipse, but it's a bit demotivating to see that nobody cares enough.
I was thinking of putting it in anjuta-extras but maybe I'll keep maintaining it as a third party plugin.

I'll try to look if it still works with latest Vala, expect some news shortly,
Abderrahim

Daniel AlonsoYes, yes, keep on the good work. There are many of us that are going to love your work.

By the way, the bitbucket repository is not working.

martinI'm also in search of a good IDE for Vala. While learning a language (and for me also learning GNOME) it's super nice to be able to browse the libraries using code completion. For example, I type "Gtk." and then I scroll down in the code completion list and find "Gtk.Button" and I think "ah okay dude this must be the button class in GTK" etc. Also seeing the documentation in a separate box next to the code completion popup is nice but that's probably going to be hard since there is only good C documentation for GTK and Valadoc doesn't seem to have good text docs yet, only method signatures. Later on I guess a good debugging experience is my second wish (luckily you already did some work with GDB? heh, that's just awesome). Thanks for all the work so far and please keep it up!!
