Description Don Scorgie 2007-03-22 11:28:27 UTC

Spoon is "A meta data access system for documentation browsers", based on the proposed help system spec [1].  It currently doesn't have much of a home (a SVN repo on my home machine), however is going to be included in GNOME 2.20 (provided a. it finds a home and b. integration work with yelp goes as planned).  The project is completely desktop- and platform- agnostic and KDE have expressed an interest in using it (hence fd.o instead of GNOME).

It would need a SVN repo and download space on an ftp server.

Could you also please add me to the project (dscorgie).  I'll file for account creation in a separate bug.

Thanks
Don

Don, I guess you also want a product in bugzilla.
Do you know if you'll need a mailing list or website?

Yes, a bugzilla product would be good.  Yes, a mailing list would probably be a good idea (though, it'll be very low traffic I suspect).  It doesn't really need a website (I don't think).

Comment 4 Daniel Stone 2007-07-24 13:11:51 UTC

done.  svn available at:
svn+ssh://svn.freedesktop.org/svn/rarian

Comment 5 Don Scorgie 2007-07-25 10:49:37 UTC

I think I'm doing something stupid, but I can't commit to the SVN repo:

don@Madaline:rarian $ svn ci
Adding         branches
Adding         tags
Adding         trunk
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't create directory '/svn/rarian/db/transactions/0-1.txn': Permission denied
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    '/home/don/Work/gnome/fdo-import/rarian/svn-commit.tmp'

When checking out with svn+ssh://svn.freedesktop.org/svn/rarian rarian and copying relevant files across.

Any ideas (or alternatively / also any way of importing from a different SVN repo i.e. will svn export then import work)?

Cheers

Comment 6 Daniel Stone 2007-07-25 12:24:39 UTC

might help if i actually made it group-writeable ...

no idea about the import/export, though.

Comment 7 Don Scorgie 2007-07-29 03:58:16 UTC

More stupidity by me...

http://rarian.freedesktop.org 
leads to:
You've come to gabe.freedesktop.org. Maybe you were looking for www.freedesktop.org. If this is the case, please ask whoever sent you here to update their URLs.

I've replaced the index file with an index.html, but I still get redirected to the above.  Any ideas?  (Sorry)

Comment 8 Daniel Stone 2007-07-29 05:29:12 UTC

oops, sorry, dns screwage.  fixed now; you might want to make it point to annarchy.freedesktop.org in your /etc/hosts while you wait.
