[arch-projects] Xenophile update
by Jason Chu 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Last night I wrote a simple reminder daemon (xenoremind). You can schedule reminders through a message interface or through an rpc interface (which I wrote last week). Now you can remind yourself of notes at specific times! I'll most likely be cleaning up the rpc module and better coupling the notes and reminder functionality. After that, I rewrite my email notification daemon. Jason -- If you understand, things are just as they are. If you do not understand, things are just as they are.

[arch-projects] ELF questions
by Aaron Griffin 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Ok, I'm not really clear, on a binary level, about ELF objects, so I'm going to shoot some questions out there: Is an elf binary required to link to things such as libc? let's assume for a moment the SO does not call any libc functions. that should work fine. however, if it does call libc functions, is it able to resolve that, perhaps, strlen() is linked into it's parent?

[arch-projects] Ensmer and EnsmerMail
by Dusty Phillips 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Ok, So I was serious about the Java God thing... I just released Ensmer and EnsmerMail. I'm sure most of you have heard of it, I linked it here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=74266#74266 with a PKGBUILD. Its a 3D interface that I want to take out the entire window manager scene with (sorry Phrakture mwahaha). No, seriously, its an experiment in three dimensional interactions to see if virtual reality can be used for normal apps and not just games. It can. I'd love to see some discussion on this project, I've put about 8 months into it and don't know of anybody having tested it. :-D EnsmerMail is, of course, 3D e-mail inside of Ensmer. Its pretty cool, IMHO, but needs work. Maybe when I get around to releasing 0.2 it will actually be useable! For now its just something to play with for those of us who have an ISP e-mail account that we never use because we expect to be changing ISPs on a regular basis. Or something like that. It can connect to pop and smtp on yahoo too if you want to play with it. ;-) On a more personal note, completing this project puts me in a position where I can call myself "graduated". Soon I will have a BSc in Computing and Information Systems. How very droll. Dusty

[arch-projects] Hello
by Ryan Burrows 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hi everyone, I just recently (yesterday) installed arch linux and am enjoying it so far. I read Dusty's post on the message board, and seeing as how I enjoy programming (though I've never undertaken any major projects) I thought I might as well join this list. Just thought I'd send a message to say hi Ryan H. Burrows /"\ Junior, App & Comp Math Sci (Discrete Math & Al) \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign ryanb3(a)u.washington.edu X against HTML email / \

[arch-projects] calling python from C/C++
by Aaron Griffin 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

ok, here's what I want to do: ---- foobar.py --------------- class foo: def bar(self): print "bar called" def foobar(): print "foobar called" ---------------------------------- and I'm gonna make up the syntax here: ----- test.c ------------------- #include <python.h> /* dunno if this is right */ void main() { PyObject *o; o = PyLoadModule("foobar"); o.call("foobar"); PyObject *x; x = PyImport("foobar.foo"); x.call("bar"); } ---------------------------------- what I want to know is the proper syntax to do this...the docs are sketchy Also, what's the correct way to pass a C struct to python?

[arch-projects] Xenophile
by Dusty Phillips 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

The guy who came up with this idea is either too modest or too busy to post it here. I'm sure some people have heard of it already: http://xentac.net/~jchu/blog/technology/jabber/xenophile-intro.html An interesting idea for remote control and communication with daemons via Jabber. Dusty

[arch-projects] interesting developer tool
by Joao Estevao 16 Mar '05

If you're a programmer and have the same dislike for creating .ac and .am files as myself, you might want to check this. Haven't tested it though... http://premake.sourceforge.net/ -- A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. -- Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

[arch-projects] Reviving this list
by Dusty Phillips 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hey folks, I'm planning on trying to revive this mailing list. Want to get some people posting ideas and workgroups here and stuff. Try to expand the scope of the list a bit to include not just Arch-specific projects, but also development on other linux-related projects created by Arch users. For the most part, Arch Linux users seem to be a pretty smart group, although this seems to be dropping, given the current state of the AL community. I'm looking for a somewhat smaller and much more interesting/less stupid community of developer types. This is going to be it. I've sort of got Xentac's blessing on this, so if you don't like these plans for the list, feel free to unsubscribe. Otherwise, feel free to start posting something interesting! :-) I've got a few small script ideas I'll be interested in posting later on. I've also seen some interesting projects that I think would be good candidates for this sort of discussion; I'm going to try to get the authors on board. I'm also mining for members at user-contributions.org. We mostly all know each other as Arch users here. Simply put this should be a subcommunity of Arch-users comprised of people who are also active programmers. Let me know what you think. Happy Hacking, Dusty
