I'm particularly interested in the planning of this project and the GNOME build service client, as I'm planning to implement similar functionality in MonoDevelop, the Mono (C# etc) IDE. Hence if we could share ideas, plans, designs and other information, that would be great. It's a shame all three of us are using different runtimes, as this means we can't share code directly :-/
yes, I think we should consider sharing the client implementation as much as possible, so I see 2 solutions:
* write a C library and create bindings from it * write a D-Bus daemon that can be contacted via any D-Bus bindings
for the GNOME client we were planning to use the OSC API, since we'll be using pygtk, but since the Java and Mono clients are not able to use it and so need to write their own client lib, I think we could use some of the SoC student's time to work on this shared layer, couldn't we?
Reading this, I wonder why we need a standard library for the api at all. Not that I am against it, but which functionality should go into it. I think most should be implemented on the api.o.o side. Pure http connect should be available in every development enviroment these days. Can you give some examples what kind of functionality makes sense to have in a common application library ? bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
