Ruby: Programmers' Best Friend

[2004-09-22] by shugo

A link to Ruby Forum was added to Community

Alexey Verkhovsky saids, `Ruby Forum is a newly created bulletin board for discussing Ruby. Unlike ruby-talk mailing list, it allows anonymous posting and implements more understandable interface for searching. Intended target audience of this forum is newcomers to Ruby that are not committed enough to subscribe to a 100+ posts/day mailing list.'

Anonymous CVS repository for csv(lib/csv) and soap4r(lib/soap4r) were once released to public at 2004-07-05 15:30:00 JST(2004-07-05 06:30:00 UTC). But I, the maintainer of these repository, found my checking process of CVS repository was not enough. So I suspended the repositories again. Users who checkout these repositories from 2004-07-05 15:30:00 JST(2004-07-05 06:30:00 UTC) to 2004-07-06 16:30:00 JST(2004-07-06 07:30:00 UTC) must check your CVS workspace. I'm sorry for the trouble this error caused you.

I'll report again after confirmation of these repositories.

csv and soap libraries which are bundled to ruby's repository(/src/ruby) were confirmed that it is safe.

[2004-07-05] by shugo

lib/soap4r, lib/csv, mod_ruby-old were added to the Anonymous CVS repository.

Then, eruby was renamed to eruby-old. mod_ruby/eruby are developed on the Subversion repository now.

• app
