  Upgrades In Open Source

  Posted: March 7th, 2010, 11:00pm MST by Brandon Savage

  PHP 5.3 has been out now for eight months, and in that time lots of projects have made decisions to begin developing against this version of PHP. Juozas Kaziukenas makes the argument that you shouldn’t be afraid of PHP 5.3 and he provides a number of excellent points to support his argument. I don’t dispute [...]

  Seed doc updates, and Gio async directory listing

  Posted: March 7th, 2010, 10:52pm MST by Alan Knowles

  The documentation for seed gobject introspection is improving continually, I now have a jhbuild virtual machine, which is picking up the latest versions from git.
  In addition many of the documentation details have been expanded, including

  • Interfaces, Enums
  • callback methods are now documented
  • More libraries have been added.
  • More doc comments can be picked up

  With better documentation it's finally possible to figure out how to use the API. A classic example of this was a small problem I tried to solve before the API documentation was available. Listing a directory asynchronously, It took me over an hour to get close to figuring out how to do this, I eventually had to give up. as digging through the source, C reference and GIR files took so long.
  However within 5 minutes with the documentation, I was able to write a small script to do this.

  Gio = imports.gi.Gio;
  Gtk = imports.gi.Gtk;
  
  var f = Gio.file_new_for_path('/home/');
  f.enumerate_children_async (
          "*",  
          Gio.FileQueryInfoFlags.NONE, 
          GLib.PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 
          null, 
          function(o,ar) {
            // listing completed..
             var fe = f.enumerate_children_finish(ar);
             var ch = false;
             while (ch = fe.next_file(null)) {
                 Seed.print(ch.get_name());        
             }
             Seed.quit();
      
          },
          null);
  
  Gtk.main();
