World: r3wp

is there anything close to ruby rails wrt automatically defing MySQL 
CRUD operations ? I find rails really cool, something Rebol could 
easily do !!

Olivier Auverlot proposes to add its Magic! script to the Powerpack. 
Magic! is a CGI handler that dramaticaly simplify the creation of 
dynamic web site "à la" PHP.

Version 3.5 is in the pipeline and will be release soon. But doc 
is in French AFAIK, so need to be translate before.

before=first :\

OK, who will translate.... Right now I am leaning towards including 
RSP by Laurent Chevalier.

Translation: we will do.


There is also RUn (Rebol Unit) from Christophe Coussement (RebolTof). 
Java Unit, Rebol made.

Magic doc is yet translated and available on Gram Chiu Comkarori

So the question is: RSP or Magic!

+1 for Magic!

I just know RSP by its name. If you know it, just compare to Magic!

Just did. Magic has a nice set of HTML functions but the drawback 
is that you need a daemon for session management, which won't work 
in a shared hosting env and is harder to keep alive. But is seems 
a bit more complete, so provided that you'll do the 3.5 translation 
as well I'd be happy to include it.

I need graphics support for the REBOL Powerpack reb site! If you 
have a backdrop, image, folder icon, .... please send them to me. 
See contact details here for the mail address.

The session deamon is not necessary at all AFAIK.
3.5 is not released yet, so the doc.

But French community will translate ASAP as it does last time, I 
hope.

is there a site for PowerPack..where I can have a look at what it 
encompasses?

I change the name to 'PowerPack'  instead of 'Rebol powerpack'  ..


it makes it easier to see the name of this group ... hope no one 
objects

What's happening with the PowerPack?

I'm looking for a bunch of "certified" software that can be used 
for setting up webservers, cgi, blogs, mail, pop etc.

.

pinging for update.


if work has stopped for Powerpack, I would be glad to pick up part 
of the job here.

You just became one-man project-lead/implementer ;-) I never got 
to it.

But a lot of us like the idea. Maybe we can sneak some info out of 
the R3 team about how best to go about it, WRT modules and such.

not sure if this was mentioned earlier, but someone said that Uniserve 
is GPL.. it's not.. it's BSD

I will look into getting the Powerpack going.


I will need to spend some time reading through the archives to ensure 
that the original objective remains clear.

That should help serve as the guidelines for making decisions down 
the road.

Is anyone in this group still interested in a more serious REBOL 
repository? May be adjunct to REBOL.org, or something else, but targeted 
at a more consistent model for libraries and modules, so things are 
easier to INCLUDE and reuse.

yes

I haven't followed the group too closely, but are the rules and the 
model for libraries and modules made?

we are converging all prior efforts and their originators into a 
single concerted effort.

There's a new private chat group. I'll add you to it.

I'm interested, but I am afraid that I will disagree with other people 
who have different ideas about what is the best way to implement 
a library/module system - therefore I am cautious before spending 
too much time here.

I am working on a "starterpack" when I find some time. It simply 
downloads the scripts I found useful or very interesting but they 
are not really managed/organised but for I put them in different 
directories depending on their main purpose

If someone is interested please let me know

I would be interested in the list of scripts you use, where you place 
them, and how you use them. I probably wouldn't just download and 
install your entire config as I have established my own ways of working. 
I would inspect each piece and see if it has value to me.

Anton: if you are interested in "my" collection it is just one script 
with a data file and I plan to make it available via rebol.it

The script loads the data file that contains info on the files and 
how to download handle them. Archives are usually downloaded and 
unpacked. You just have to put both files in a directory and run 
the script.

Ok, I'll wait for that, then. :)

maybe we can repurpose this group for Power Mezz? the ideas are probably 
similar.

or, someone with permissions please make a Power Mezz group.

Done.

So to use the power pack, we have to load the module system first 
....

I was just looking to see what I needed to use the html-filter function, 
and it seems I have to load the module system, and then import all 
stuff needed to run the html-filter ...

To use this you need to download a bzip decompression utility, and 
then you need to download something that will untar ....

Do you really need the GNU make to generate all the .r scripts ??

Graham, Gabriele uploaded a prebuilt version http://sourceforge.net/projects/rebol-power-mez/files/power-mezz-built-1.0.0.zip/download

That's the Power Mezz package - this is a different group.

Thanks Will....

Did someone make a web site for the Power Pack, or is it a dead project?

Dead ..

Ah, we can switch groups then.

rather ... still born
