Rebbin 0.7

May 20, 2005 at 8:41 pm · tags: Rails Rebbin Ruby

I released another version with some improvements and a lot of bugfixes

What’s new?

• RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3 feeds
• XMLRPC and SOAP support:
  • num_of_pastes: returns the number of pastes
  • get_languages: returns the list of supported languages
  • add_paste: adds a paste to the pastebin and returns the id
  • get_paste: returns the paste with the given id
  • get_latest_pastes: returns the latest pastes
• Scheduler to destroy pastes automatically, it destroys pastes older than 48h and it runs every 24h in a separate thread
• Improved sorting in archive page

What’s changed?

The support for text wordwrap has been removed

What about the future?

The main issue is the external highlighter I want to replace with custom-clean-safe-fast-ruby-lexer_based code. I tried syntax but it doesn’t fit my needs. It will take a lot of time but I think it’s the way to go.

Ruby, popen and session

May 14, 2005 at 1:28 am · tags: Ruby

In the past two days I tried to rewrite a bunch of popen based code that drives an external tool I need for a webapp I’m coding (in Rails). The problems arose because IO::popen hung when used behind the webapp with a 5K+ input sent it from the standard input. In my “journey” I learnt about RubyInline, nice tool to wrap C/C++ code, I learnt more about IPC world, Ruby support for I/O and more so I was happy learning new stuff but my problem was still there.

Here comes session library (and his author Ara T. Howard) to the rescue

His latest version (2.4.0 at the time) solves all my problems with hangs.

Good job Ara, very good job.

ps. here is the solution

cmd = 'theprocesstodrive'
text = 'thetexttopasstothestdinoftheaboveprocess'
session = Session.new
result = session.execute cmd, :stdin => text

Nice, isn’t it?
