Date::Kronos

Is http://www1.jump.net/~arclight/perl/ the official distribution site, or
just some random place?

What version of the sources are you working from? I belive Tobias’ fork still
uses Kronos.

I yanked Kronos ~2 weeks ago.

I’m actually working from a merged CVS tree, checkpointed on 08/10, with
your RT2 branch taking precendence. I’ve got RT1, RT2 (aka “rt-1-1”), and
Tobias’s fork on branches. I was unsucessful at convincing you guys to
work in the same repository so I had to do it myself.

This is the first I’ve heard that DBIx stuff was kept in a separate module
in CVS.

Anything else undocumented that I should know, before I waste even more
time?

Ack. sorry. It’s something that had come up on the lists but not been
recorded on the website. http://www.fsck.com/projects/rt/cvs.html has been
fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of anything. AFAIK, DBIx::EasySearch and
company are the only non-cpan requirement. And getting them into CPAN needs
to happen really soon now. It’s something I’d been looking at last week before
I got distracted by other non-rt stuff.

I can upload them if you like, but it seems like they’d be more
appropriate under your CPAN ID.

The whole idea of an interface ontop of DBI that lets you use Perl or
Perl-like syntax to construct SQL queries is something I’m super
interested in. Compare to:

None of which have quite got it yet, but they all feel close in one way or
another.

Aah, well. No time now. “After burning man”.

It came up on devel a long time ago and comes up on -commit whenever
things get checked in :wink: Actually. wait. are you on -commit? Mail comes
through with cvs rdiff lines for each update. Shit. I bet this is
another case of “web not keeping up with reality.” I’ll fix it after I
get some breakfast

If I haven’t made the moves to start getting a CPAN id by the time
you get back from burning man, I give you permission to publically mock
me :wink:

Yeah. none of them quite fill the niche I was looking for when I started to
hack on EasySearch and co.

Minor side-issue: Before CPANing the DBIx stuff I’m working on, I’m thinking
of condensing it to DBIx::EasySearch, DBIx::EasySearch::Record and DBIx::EasySearch::Handle since the three really go together. It should only require 2 or 3 lines of change to the one application that I know is using them so far and will
probably be an ease-of-use win down the line.

Aah, well. No time now. “After burning man”.

Have a great time! Tell jd & lamont & co that I say hi.

That is just a random place.

Date::Kronos is my package, when I’m satisfied with it it will appear at
CPAN. If I’ll never be satisfied with it, I will cancel the project. As
for now, it’s included in the distribution of my fork (more info to
appear shortly) and totally excluded from RT.

Tobix - +47 22 925 871

Hi,

Is http://www1.jump.net/~arclight/perl/ the official distribution
site, or just some random place?

(finding all this non-CPAN module stuff a bit disconcerting)

It’s some random place.

Short Story: I was having trouble installing RT2, specifically
code and posted it for Tobias’ review and comment. Don’t take that
archive as anything official; it was a quick contribution.

Speaking of contributions, here’s one for the quote file:
“We’d be dead without this.” - International Operations,
Excite@Home

FWIW, we (Excite) are looking at replacing our current (lousy) work
tracking systems and RT is the leading candidate (AFAIK). The
guy managing the project has a couple concerns:

  • Report generator(s)
  • UI for normal users to submit requests
  • Oracle support

Don’t take these as feature requests, at least not until we tape that
list to a box of cash or an Ultra-2 (or at least some source code).
I’d write the code myself but I’m too busy digging my way out of my
queue. Dammit.

Thanks again,

– Bob
