Haberdasher demo available

Posted by Esteban Manchado Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:54:00 GMT

At last! I have prepared an online demo of Haberdasher. Now you can play around with it, as an anonymous user or logging in with demo/demo123.

It has a limit of 50K for patches, so don’t be surprised if you upload a bigger one and it gets truncated :-)

Have fun, and tell me what you think!

EDIT: The link to the demo was wrong, gah! Thanks to Joaquín for noticing.

Dhelp's new release

Posted by Esteban Manchado Sun, 21 Oct 2007 21:51:00 GMT

Dhelp’s new release is coming along nicely. In the last days I have fixed a couple of bugs in dhelp_parse’s rewrite, and I think it’s now ready for upload. The new package closes 28 bugs, which is more than half the current open bugs for the package.

I have warned the current maintainer and the debian-doc mailing list, so I hope to upload the new version in a couple of days…

Dhelp strikes back

Posted by Esteban Manchado Thu, 18 Oct 2007 21:22:00 GMT

In the last days I have gone back to working on dhelp, a Debian package for documentation indexing and search. Months ago I had started rewriting dhelp_parse, the only program in the suite written in C, in Ruby.

The rewrite was almost done, but the program wasn’t tested much (some modules had unit tests, but the program itself didn’t), so I found a couple of big bugs easily :-D Now it looks better, so hopefully I’ll be done soon, and I’ll upload the new package to Debian so people can start testing it.

Some haberdasher work

Posted by Esteban Manchado Sat, 13 Oct 2007 16:21:00 GMT

In the last days I’ve had some time to devote to Haberdasher. Finally the domain is up and running (haberdasherhq.org), currenly pointing to the RubyForge project page.

I’ve also set up a new screenshot gallery, I’ve the Darcs repository online and soon I’ll have a demo online, so you can try it out.

On the code side, I’ve updated Rails to the latest 1.2.x, have updated all the plugins, and I have added a very simple tag system. I’m also experimenting with a new web widget system, more news when I have something interesting to show.

Welcome!

After http://www.zingzang.org, I’m opening a new blog, this time in some sort of English ;-)

The current plan is to write (mostly) about technical things in this blog, and leave the rest to CincoReyes.

Hopefully, I’ll go back to doing some Debian work, and will also resume Haberdasher development (“Haberdasher” is the new project name for PatchSever; why the name haberdasher? Well, go to Wikipedia and check ;-)).
