AltME groups: search

I can also confirm that the precompiled binary .so available for 
download works as-is with Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.7 on i686.

no binaries in therer? Should I download sources, and build?

though I'm sure its possible to rewire how Altme message passing 
works.  as long as the server has the data and client/server are 
using the same message protocol, everything can be changed.


it can even be retro-fitted on update, to prevent people from having 
to download the whole world again, since we already have the data 
on our disks.

In another AltME world I'm participating in, AltME file sharing is 
used to share 103 files, all of which I have downloaded. Every time 
I (re)connect, AltME offers me to re-download 63 of them. Irrespective 
of whether I re-download or not, I'm again offered this each and 
every time I connect.

That only fixes the redownloading, though. (For every changed file 
you want to fetch, you have to download all of them.) In the winter, 
files that you created in the summer will have the wrong status. 
In the summer, files that you created in any winter will have the

Sorry not sure if this is the right place to ask. I'm overwhelmed 
with some many forum/place to post, and visit. I want to find a copy 
of Excel Dialect, but it's no longer available at http://www.robertmuench.de/download/, 
could you help me to locate a copy of it? Thanks a lot!

I've had recently the opportunity to dust off my experimental LDAP 
driver code, so I've decided to release it as-is, even if it's unfinished, 
at least querying the server and retrieving data is supported. Download 
at: http://softinnov.org/dl/ldap-protocol.r


The query dialect is probably not working 100%, but at least basic 
queries should do the job. I don't intend to implement more features 
now because I don't have any needs for a LDAP driver, but I'll try 
to fix the query dialect if required by users. I might accept to 
add the missing features and polish it under contracted work or bounty 
(if high enough).

Basic usage syntax and examples can be found in the file header.

The main goal of this script is to download important ressources 
for REBOL.

So everywhere in the world, download a CORE version of REBOL and 
this script, and you can get all the important REBOL ressources.
Must add link to softinnov product.

Put a new version of get-rebol-ressources.r on rebol.org : download 
contents for platform.

We have setup official R3-GUI download place: http://www.rm-asset.com/code/downloads/files/r3-gui.r3.zip

RMA version of host-kit has been updated:

-added support for FreeType2 font handling
-fixed text caret crash (thanks to Oldes)

you can download the sources here:

http://rm-asset.com/code/downloads/files/rma-host-kit.zip

Note: The code is not yet uploaded and the URL is not correct. Cyphre 
did use the old-company site. I'm going to post an update.

THE CODE IS NOT YET ONLINE FOR DOWNLOAD

I'll download a fresh svn ..

Endo: you can run it on OS X either from sources or using a binary 
version from here : http://cheyenne-server.org/download.shtml

I've often wondered whether I could use Cheyenne for doing upgrades. 
 So, for example my main application passes its own name, location 
and the upgrade download location to Cheyenne in a url read and then 
quits ...

Well, currently I download the update and then write a command script 
that deletes the current application, and then renames the download 
to the application name, and then starts it up, call the command 
script and quit.  
But forwhatever reasons .. it often fails

Alternate upgrade method .. download binary patch, read the current 
version, xor it, write it out as the new version .. and then the 
same as in your script above.

I'm upgrading my cheyenne, have to try this websockets stuffs, btw, 
nightly webkit also supports websockets (download here http://nightly.webkit.org/)

here a couple server that supports websockets http://www.tornadoweb.org/
http://orbited.org/http://www.kaazing.com/downloadmaybe there 
is something interesting for you

Font used is DroidSans.. can download for free from -> http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Droid-Sans

What woudl be the best way to do some casual source code protection 
of cheyenne webapp if you want to distributte it as a "download and 
install" option. I guess I could make some sort of code obfuscator 
that would change the names to something without meaning, is there 
anything better one could do?

well, BrianH would say, download the hostkit and get yourself a curecode 
account!

What's the correct way how to deal with uploaded files? I mean... 
if I for example upload a very large file, then I must move it to 
correct location after upload is finished. What is the best way how 
to move a large file in the Cheyenne context? What about a possibility 
to set the custom %incoming/ location before download starts so no 
need for move will be required and we can just rename the file?

no, you must download it here: http://softinnov.org/rebol/mysql.shtml

I put my ws protocol here http://www.moldibi.com/download/ws.txt

As long as you have just simple pages, it's fine. You can use this 
with RSP easily as well.. but if you want to look at "hard to maintain" 
PHP code.. and have good nerves..just download Magento's sources 
and try to figure out what's going on.

Kaj, can you please post your patch code on http://pastebin.comor 
anywhere else where I can download it properly or at least copy/paste 
it?...AltMe is such a PIA to copy large parts of code (unless I missed 
some hidden feature for that).

Graham: Chrome shows the JSON output while FF offers to download 
it. It's better to use a READ and a JSON decoder from the console 
to display JSON strings or a plugin like Firebug rather that rely 
on the browser.

Cheyenne revision 126:


FIX: (Windows) issue with current OS path in source mode and REBOL 
v2.7.8.

FIX: (Windows) 'set-env function not redefined if already available 
as native.

FIX: (Windows) CGI now properly uses call.r instead of native CALL.


Windows binaries re-released on http://cheyenne-server.org/download.shtml

aha... so i need /view. it would be great to insert this line on 
the download page.

ChristianE: I've commited a fix to Cheyenne public repository. It 
will be available as a new source package in http://cheyenne-server.org/download.shtml
in about an hour. But I won't build new binaries now (takes too much 
time).

Automated builds are now up and running (Linux only): http://cheyenne-server.org/download.shtml

very nice download pages.  probably one of the most conscice page 
of this kind I've ever been to  :-)

Linux binaries r134 should be available in an hour at: http://cheyenne-server.org/download.shtml

I should maybe remove that mention from the download page...I agree 
that it looks a bit odd now.

I'm getting a *very* weird problem launching cheyenne from win7.


using a clean download of the latest build sources, if I try to start 
up the cheyenne.r by double-clicking on it in windows, it fails. 
 

no tray icon appears, the rebol process is running buts its dead 
(no pages are served, and no workers are launched).


if I try to run it a second time, I get the console which tells me 
it can't open the rconsole and logger ports (so cheyenne actually 
did start)., but the "no response" flag appears on the window title 
and its as dead as the first instance (I even get the busy mouse 
cursor treatment). 


but if I start it from the command-line, using the exact same command-line 
that I see in the task manager, I have no problem!


to make this even more strange, dragging the cheyenne.r script icon 
on the rebol.exe icon, launches cheyenne without any issues!

launching it from my editor's automated script launching setups also 
works without issues.

all of these show the exact same command-line in the task-manager 
(which includes the -qs rebol flags).

note, I am *not* running cheyenne as a service.

Questions:
1) can any one else replicate this (am I going mad ?  ;-)
2) why does this happen?
2) can this be solved?

I think that the following package installs the msvcr71.dll file: 
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5638

Will: I'm already using my business SVN repository. Managing a new 
public repository would be currently too time-consuming for me. I 
prefer for now making snapshot archives for download. Once CC will 
be a bit more mature (having an install script for example), I'll 
probably move it on a public one.

BrianH: that is not a good solution. If we want a good one, let's 
have it at least in R2 level. If you want the raw one, you HAVE to 
count on the default Windows version. Suggesting ppl to download 
xy MB crap is not the way to go to try REBOL at all ...

System admins will not surely download better console, in order to 
get better REBOL experience?

I second BrianH's opinion - please release to the first limited group 
of Devs, to prevent possible initial chaos. As for me - I think that 
we CAN manage the situation, even if you would release it publicly. 
Not many ppl use R3 Chat do download sources nowadays. I think that 
if you set some coordinator or two, e.g. BrianH, Henrik, Maxim  - 
whoever who will accept the role, then we will be fine and even other 
ppl can study the code and try some things for themselves ...

I guess it's download wireshark time :(

Also for things like download meters ...

or supply a file to stream a download.

Got this on a file download ..

==TCP-event on dataport: read

Currently streaming a ftp download of the ubuntu server iso image 
... will see how that longs before I get an error.

so I can't return immediately from my read ... and let it download 
?

if you want to download while in the console, that could be a console 
background worker thread

if you want to download within a GUI app, that could be the GUI's 
main event loop

One good thing .. on r2 I doubt I could download a 500Mb file using 
ftp .. but I'm nearly there now and the windows task manager is only 
showing 12Mb of ram usage with 0-1 % cpu

Uploaded my latest version which by default downloads ubi.exe which 
is a 1.5mb file ( ubuntu windows installer. )
You can uncomment the 650 mb download if you want to try :)

on a successful download

Just remembering my Cerebrus pop proxy anti-spam script .. I had 
both progress meters for both messages download and message download

Signed up, sent myself a couple of emails to that account, and then 
managed to login and download using the imap protocol

I'd like to ask how we might manage the download of a large file 
by thehttp protocol

request-download shows a progress bar.

>> value? 'request-download
== false

Gabriele, it seems as if that REQUEST-DOWNLOAD has yet to find it's 
way into R3. Though on the other hand, it's seems very likely to 
me that you know about R3 resources I'm not aware of.

Ok, Henrik, are you saying that theoretically it should be possible 
to adapt REQUEST-DOWNLOAD or alike to R3 with current R3/HTTP-scheme? 
If so, I'll have a go and study the source, it's just that I am not 
able to tell wether I just dont get it or if something is missing 
for now. Is it expected to be possible yet?

How do I download all the files I see with 'ls ?

I was just reading about upcoming new Facebook facelift ... and following 
the discussion I found out, that one person suggests very cool Facebook 
client done in Silverlight. I needed to download SL beta 4. Then 
I tried that mighty app. Guy, I can tell you - we can do it in View 
anyday. Its not any faster, any better, and I would really like to 
see the ugly code behind the app. My long time suggestion to popularise 
View is to wrap known services - gmail, FB, etc. E.g. especially 
on my Winmobile, ther's a FB client done by MS, and you can't even 
read more than 1 reaction to your post. I imediatelly can imagine 
Winmobile client in R3 :-)


Here's the screenshot - http://xidys.com/pekr/facebook-silverlight.jpg

Pekr, you can't use Rebol to "do " the script at this remote location 
 , you must download it at first.
(no redirection supported by http in R3)

shadwolf: if font rendering quality(or whatever else)  is so critical 
for you I think with R3 you have couple of options now:


1) wait until you get it for free (some day) while bitching at AltME 
about it
2) download the HostKit and improve the code yourself

3) pay(or overpersuade or whatever) someone else to improve the HostKit 
for your needs


So it looks you have at least 2 more ways(besides the 1. point) how 
to solve it comparing to R2 situation. Isn't that great?

so where can we download this?  :)

Graham: regarding the 'updating GUI from network protocol' question

I have found some older scripts I did and quickly added the progressbar 
to it so you should see how it works.
You can download it from here:
http://www.rebol.cz/cyphre/scripts/r3/net/client.r3
and
http://www.rebol.cz/cyphre/scripts/r3/net/server.r3


just run server and client on localhost and press enter in the client 
console to see how the server shows the progress of upload.

Please download it to avoid stressing my poor little connection, 
btw.

download the files. first load r3-gui.r3, then run dialog.r3.

Generally, always use this (please download as it's on a low bandwidth 
connection):

http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/files/r3/gui/r3-gui.r3

For validation, a proposal was written:


http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/files/r3/gui/docs/validation-proposal.html

This has been translated into a prototype:

http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/files/r3/gui/validation.r3


and then a set of notes on how the prototype works has been written:


http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/files/r3/gui/docs/validation-prototype.html

there was a download link posted on altme... though its probably 
lost in the chat.

Please download both files for local use, thanks.

I was trying to download Rebol3 on Mac OS X today and I was not able 
to. Is there an updated alpha for R3?

I was wanting to try R3 again, but the download link isn't working....

Josh, there are two /r3 paths in the download path. Remove one of 
them.

hi, where we can download makedoc3 script please ?

which one? there are makedoc3's by several authors. Carl's is not 
available for download.

or can we script the login, and download of new messages :)

what's the download link?

one trivial but important question: 


OK rebol is a programing language that get most of its interest when 
used in the internet area.

So for example i use my brand new software made in rebol  it connects 
to internet and check for version update.

Updating a software from the software itself is a common feature 
now in day.


But with rebol how do we do that mechanics ? ok i can log to the 
webserver where are stored the release i can do a CRC comparasoin 
betwin 

my software and the  one on the distant server repository. So i get 
to know if the repository is different from the version installed 
on my computer.

Once my local copy is aware the distant repository evolved i can 
download the new copy.

And that's where the poblems appears ... I can't make the new version 
downloaded from the server to be subtituated like all the other software 

made in c, C++ etc... does. What i mean is i can do 97% of the update 
from the webtask but the automatic stop the current app and launch 
the new version is 
not possible...


if you want to better understand what i mean think about your firefox 
update for example

 at your firefox start it performs a version check then download the 
 new version
then close the current running firefox and launch the new one.

Does rebol 3 will introduce that kind of mecanics ?

in fact that i current software download the new version install 
software then starts the new version install software and curent 
version is terminated  install software then doeas the substitution 
process then starts the new software version.


But this means the software can launch a sub process which will not 
be terminated when the current process is terminated with an quit 
call for example.

yeah in fact i could do this check the version then download the 
new version from server maning the file .TMP then create from my 
script a install-app.r  and call it then close the current app

and have that temporary script install-app.r to rename the .TMP file 
to my main script and then start the app. It could display popup 
message like "Configuring the new version please be patient..."

but it's lot of work for a thing i will be the only one to use ... 
and that's not the meaning of my ask ...

You can build your own 104 release or download Robert's

ok, your compile also crashes  on my system... strange!


we need others to test this.... please, if you have a running r3 
A107 try it out so I make as precise a ticket as I can.


if it doesn't crash, download the file and try to add a few (or many) 
draw commands to it so see if it fails at some point.

Sorry, I was saving this for Carl, but I thought you'd like to know 
that the core build for Windows of A108 has already been released 
today.
Download: http://www.rebol.com/r3/downloads.html
Changes: http://www.rebol.com/r3/changes.html

Pekr, Andreas, ChristianE and anyon who is interested...I published 
win console R3core version that should show correctly ut8 characters. 
IF you can try to dsiplay your native language chars just download 
it from here: http://cyphre.mysteria.cz/tests/r3-core-a107-console.zip
and let me know if it works for you.

Note that this version doesn't work well with STDIN/OUT redirection 
yet. I didn't want to waste time on this part yet until the normal 
console STDIN/OUT works well.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jssha/files/jsSHA/1.3/jsSHA-1.3.zip/download

did anyone download the protocols that Graham posted before his wiki 
went down?

Unless it is official, it should be regarded being not official. 
Carl still needs to start regular communication at least on blogs, 
or R3 Chat, to his devs. Putting it other way around - where can 
one download r3.dll for Android?

A Linux shared lib would do. But no download has been announced, 
even privately.

Ladislav: it really does not matter, how accurate is my message or 
your reply. If we want to be 100% correct, than you are of course 
right :-) My message was a general claim meaning, that even in the 
time of active R3 development, there were not many ppl using R3, 
and there was even less ppl using R3 actively under linux imo (which 
is quite logical, as for a long time R3 was primarily developed for 
Windows only). 

Is there any related ticket

 was important part of the message re possible WAIT problem underl 
 Linux. The only possibly related is http://curecode.org/rebol3/ticket.rsp?id=1861&cursor=2


So - before I download R3 for Linux, drop it to my linux server, 
and spend my time experimenting, my question could translate as - 
what should be the mentioned problem with WAIT under Linux all about?

Pekr, the official hostkit sources are the one available for download 
from rebol.com (http://www.rebol.com/r3/changes.html).

1) Download the built zip, or download the scripts individually from 
http://www.rebol.it/power-mezz/. (Of course it would be nice to 
get the whole repo and setup your system to be able to make changes 
as well. It currently requires GNU Make, however, those crazy people 
still using Windows could rewrite remake.r to do all the work.)

Qtask does hve some of the DevCon2008 videos available for download; 
though it does not look like a full set.

Alright 2010 is almost over now. Why don't we set something up virtually 
and "just do it"?  I just had a Teamviewer http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx?os=windows
session with some people from Singapore and Taiwan from California 
and it worked flawlessly. You guys sound like you are all doing some 
very interesting things.

I agree as well... mostly peope would like to use /library instead 
of extensions to do simple things like:
kernel32.dll: load/library %kernel32.dll
set 'MoveFile make routine! [
		"Moves file using OS"
    lpExistingFileName  [string!]
    lpNewFileName [string!]
] kernel32.dll "MoveFileA"

We don't want to download MS sources from MSDN to parse headers and 
integrate everything what's in kernel32.dll. Of course it may be 
cool in some cases, but we should keep it simple where possible.

I did put a 'wait in one of the examples used to download a timeline 
- Twitter does restrict the number of times you can call their API 
so if you're copying a large timeline, then I put an optional 'wait 
parameter in the export function to allow a break between each call.
