http://postlund.org Summer of Code 2007 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 16:53:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm a bit late, I know that, but I still need to mention that Soc is pretty much over. Uploading my code to google is what's remaining. The past weeks have been extremely stressful as the new students here at the university have arrived. I've been one of a big ... http://postlund.org/2007/09/02/a-bit-late-but-soc-is-over/ I just committed some code to trunk that removes the need for any external libraries or tools needed when building the Thunderbird extension (other than the ones needed by beagle self of course). So, if you could build beagle before you probably can now as well. Try it out and ... http://postlund.org/2007/08/07/build-dependencies-dropped-for-thunderbird-extension/ The Thunderbird backend and extension have now been merged with trunk and the project is now officially marked as finished (with the exception of bug fixes and future work of course). Now is the time where I need all eager testers to find bugs and issues for me to ... http://postlund.org/2007/08/06/thunderbird-support-now-available-in-trunk/ In my last status report email I wrote something like this (TODO list for this week): Add an about box Make the "remove a folder from beagle's index" work Ensure that the main loop only runs when there's something to index Clean up the extension a bit and add better error explanations At least try ... http://postlund.org/2007/08/02/not-much-left-to-to/ So, here it is! I just committed the code and you can grab it with: svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/beagle/branches/beagle-tbird-soc07 With this beagle should be able to index your data and put it in its right place. There are some issues still though: Removing data in Thunderbird does not remove data from beagle (yet) There are ... http://postlund.org/2007/07/26/thunderbird-backend-is-out/ I've been working quite intense on the beagle backend the last two days and I come with good news: I've almost finished it :-) As of today it indexes emails and RSS content (the indexed data is of course searchable). Extra data, i.e. mail body or RSS description, is indexed ... http://postlund.org/2007/07/25/backend-is-nearly-complete/ As promised yesterday: here it is :-) If you intend to try this extension out, continue read this post as it contains a lot of important information. How the extension works will be explained to the extent needed when testing. How it's done (just the very basics) For starters, this extension works ... http://postlund.org/2007/07/18/beagle-thunderbird-extension-is-out/ The extension has finally reached a usable state after a couple of hectic days. I still have a few things on my TODO-list but they are only minor issues compared to what I've been dealing with. Despite that I still want to hold on the extension for one more day ... http://postlund.org/2007/07/17/extension-release-expected-shortly/ I'm usually quite time optimistic and it seems like I've done it again... :-( My "todo" list currently have seven tasks that I must complete before even thinking of making a release. These tasks have popped up today as I've been working (which I've done pretty much since I woke ... http://postlund.org/2007/07/16/there-are-more-to-it-than-i-thought/ Just wanted to give a tiny report on what's currently going on. The "core", if you will, of the extension is nearly complete. I've come across a small bug that makes Thunderbird segfault every now and then (not very often though). I'm building a debug build of Thunderbird as I'm ... http://postlund.org/2007/07/11/things-are-coming-together/
