CrudVision – Lisa Seelye

Moving away from SVN

I will no longer be updating svn here at crudvision.com. I want to move Reve to git (at github). I won’t do it if I can fall back to svn, so I’m jumping ship.

Moving to github will also mean I can dump dreamhost as a host and move crudvision.com to my colocated machine to save money each month.

I’m sorry for the complete void in posting. I’ve been very busy with life, work and rock climbing. Yes, that’s right, rock climbing.

In early March I started a new job in Toronto for a gaming company (I’m not really allowed to talk about it much, unfortunately). I’m a sysadmin there and I love it. It’s much better than developing the same web applications over and over. I’m almost ready to resume programming for a hobby now that I don’t do it all day every day for pay.

And the rock climbing. My partner and I started climbing recently. We’ve noticed an unusual number of IT professionals that climb! It’s cool and odd at the same time.

I hope to post more, but the real goal of the post is to say that I’m ditching subversion, trac and intend to use github as the only source of documentation for Reve. (I just hope I can get traffic from github to this blog to pad my ego.)

Reve Release 61

Filed under: documentation,eve online,rails,reve,trac — Lisa Seelye @ 15:55

Reve release 61 is full of changes and new features. Highlighting them is Reve now has a Trac and its home page here on my blog will eventually be migrated over to the Trac including code samples and more comprehensive documentation.

A brief list of what’s changed is:

  • Corporations now nest under the Reve::API#alliances call and their ID can be passed to Reve::API#corporation_sheet to get more info from about the Corporation.
  • Added an init.rb so people can install Reve as a plugin to a Rails application (Saves having to put it in lib and constantly update it. See RailsPlugin on the trac for details. Thanks to James Harrison for the idea.
  • Reading of XML from an arbitrary source for all API calls. Including a file on disk or any other website. Useful for integrating with a caching proxy.
  • Saving of XML to disk after a successfully completed API call. Useful to report bugs and to cache things locally. See the previous point!

The RDOC for Reve has been updated as well.
