If you're wondering what I've been doing lately, here is one of them : Bug 584662 RTL locales support for GNOME Shell.
Since Shell is still rapidly evolving, there are new (RTL related) bugs every now and then, if you want to test this, get gnome-shell from git, apply whatever uncommitted patches from the above bug and, if you find something that doesn't work correctly or doesn't make sense for RTL locales, add comments to that bug.

Just a quick post to say that I've moved the Anjuta Vala plugin from freehg to bitbucket, which has more features (wiki and issue tracking) and freehg is often down. The repository can be found here.

Feel free to add whatever information to the wiki (I've not written anything yet) and report bugs and feature requests (and why not send patches;-))

It's been a long time since I've posted anything, and the last thing I've posted was about vala support for ctags. The good news is : it's done.

I'm pleased to announce the first release of vala support for (exuberant) ctags. It supports every vala tag kind I'm aware of, and most exuberant ctags extensions. And since it's based on libvala, it also supports Genie. Vala was tested with the entire libvala code, and genie was only tested with the two examples on Jamie's blog (but this should be sufficient as it uses libvala)

What's missing now is the ability to produce pattern based tag entries (only line number is supported), and tag scope (such as namespace and class name for a field).

You can get a tarball (based on latest svn of exuberant ctags), or patches : against exuberant ctags and against anjuta's local copy, both svn versions.

Update: The exuberant ctags based version needs to be configured with --enable-vala
Update 2 : I've just updated the tarball because it had a problem (I forgot to run aclocal)
Update 2009-07-22 I've updated the patch to compile latest (0.7.x) vala, here it is

And since a screenshot is better than talk, here is one:

Update: Hello, Planet Gnome

This is my first blog post, which I created to follow the progress of Summer of Code project.

My project is about adding Vala support to Anjuta, I'll be mentored by Jürg Billeter.

I've setup a mercurial repository at freehg, if you want to see the progress (right now there is only a skeleton, but I understand Anjuta plugin architecture, so the next step is to start writing the actual code)

I'm going to have exams shortly, so I won't be able to work on this until June, 10th.

Anyway, If you have any feature request, you can use comments
