Time for some newer builds here?:

Andreas says that these are mainline builds .. so depends on what 
Carl does on the main repository
Andreas

Right. Builds from the community branch are still forthcoming. Unfortunately 
I didn't have as much time as I wanted during the last few weeks 
to work on this.

Carl is going to drop by the SO chat room within the next week.  
If you want to ask him any questions, you'll need a SO reputation 
greater than 20
We are thinking an IRC style conference might work .. ga

Just to clarify: Carl said it was his intention to stop by if he 
can get away from work for a bit.  I'm going to see if I can pin 
him down to a date and time.

@robert .. I made several pull requests against the R3 docs yesteday, 
see https://github.com/saphirion/documentation/pulls
Robert

[2454x2]
Yes, thanks. I saw them. I or some of our team will check them and 
integrate them.
I hope to find some time tomorrow to look at them. Otherwise on Monday.

pair! can be floating point in R3. Is there a reason, it wasn't made 
a new datatype?

Robert, what about If someone ports those docs to REBOL Wiki ?
They would be easier to manage as DOC is not CODE.
GrahamC
25-May-2013
[2458x2]
I'd prefer them to be in the github repo
This way we only allow approved changes to be made
GiuseppeC

Graham, I don't think there could be a war on changes.
On REBOL wiki many hands could work on the documentation.
GrahamC

[2461x3]
well, you may not recall but there were wholesale changes on the 
rebol.net wiki by a well intended person .. but they all had to be 
reverted
I don't people want a repeat of that experience
but the git docs could be mirrored in an unofficial community wiki 
.. but the official ones would be on the repository
GiuseppeC

[2464x2]
Graham, I knew about this accident.

The solution we have is to revert the changes and inform the user 
as soon as we acknowledge the problen.
Just a question: do we know what has been lost during the big modification 
of REBOL wiki ? Is there a way to discover this?
Robert

[2466x2]
For us docs stay on github. From there we integrate back into our 
mainline and make official releases. And from our mainline the docs 
on our web-site are generated.

Everyone is free to use the github as base for a wiki.
Otherwise it's unmanageable. Since there is no single point of R3 
project at the moment, it doesn't make sense to spread information 
on several places, get them out of sync etc. We need one place, where 
people know what they get.

Robert, Ladislav has sent to youa document with the changes of R3 
compared to R2. Could you upload it somewhere ?
Andreas

Yes, I have just seen the ANNOUNCE group ! ;-)
Andreas

[2471x2]
So what are you asking for?
Or does that already answer your request :) ?
GiuseppeC
26-May-2013
[2473]
Andreas, I have read the REBOL3 group and wrote the request. Then 
read the ANNOUCE one and discovered the answer to my request was 
already there !

Which makedoc version should I use to compile those mdp files? I 
used makedoc2.r but the output html file is not correct completely?
makedoc-pro?

that function just converts a string (rebol script/code) into :C 
encoded string".  Such C-strings are then used usually at R3 boot 
time to execute all the interpreter system or host code etc.

Hi, i'm at the beginning of a project in which i need access to a 
remote MySQL db. 

I tried Softinnov's MySQL driver, but that seems to be outdated (MySQL 
complains about client protocol).
Does anyone know an up-to-date MySQL driver for Rebol (2 or 3)?
Pekr

[2482x2]
hmm, maybe R3 plus ODBC extension?
but that's most probably for Windows ...

@arie, what version of the MySQL driver are you using?
Maxim
28-May-2013
[2485]
and what version of mysql?
Arie
28-May-2013
[2486]
@james_nak 1.2.1 from 12/07/2008

Arie, try with http://softinnov.org/tmp/mysql-protocol-41.r
Arie
28-May-2013
[2488x2]
@Maxim 5.5.31 protocol version 10
@DocKimbel i'll try ...
Maxim
28-May-2013
[2490x2]
latest drivers should work with 5.5  IIRC
I'm definitely using v5.5.31 on windows with R2 v2.7.8.  (just checked).


 pretty sure Quarter Master uses Doc's drivers (which is what is setup 
 for mysql right now), though I may be wrong.
Arie
28-May-2013
[2492]
@DocKimbel that works; hurray!

I guess that the documentation on Softinnov's site is still appropriate?
DocKimbel
28-May-2013
[2493]
Yes, the documentation is still up to date.
Arie
