AS/Xcaml status

AS/Xcaml status

[Florian Hars]

What is the current state of AS/Xcaml? The website www.asxcaml.org still points
to the alpha from april 2004, but people keep hinting to darcs repositories and 
http servers living in other projects' attics on this list.
Is there a version available somewhere that can be built and used by mere 
mortals and is suitable for projects slightly above prototype level?

Yours, Florian Hars.

The AS/Xcaml is a mature project. We are using it to develop FreerP, a
full fledged ERP application licensed under the GPL. We are also using
it to develop GUI's to PLC applications for industrial machinery.

We have been using darcs for a while to manage the development effort,
but the sheer mass of the project has crushed the pathetic "patch
theory" Roundy declares to have concocted. I am gradually moving
everything over to arch, but I am not having time to breathe, and most
development tasks which are under my responsibility are stalling.

Anyhow, I'll ask my collegues to place a couple of demo applications on
our websites, for the joy of you all. We might also release a snapshot
of the current code, pending the availability of the tla repos.

Ernesto and Dome, do you think we can manage all this today?

Try viewing a demo of our glass cutting application at the following URL:

http://starcut.demo.barettadeit.com/

Mozilla or Firefox are required, as the user interface takes advantage
of Mozilla specific features--the sidebar, mainly.

You somehow forgot to hook the actual cutting machine to your webserver :-).

But seriously, I would really like to look at a buildable snapshot.
The alpha version on asxcaml.org seems to lack the contents of
$(OCAML_DEIT)/{ocamllib-addons,unixlib-addons,rules-engine,xcaml_lib,metaxcaml_lib,dbinterface}
as well as the Makefiles in $(ROOT)/..

Yours, Florian.

Is the arch archive public by any chance?

It is supposed to be public, except that I have not finished converting
the old darcs archives to arch.

Alex,

On your main page you state that ocamlnet and pxp need a patch applied, 
with OcamlODBC optionally being patched.  Since I like to use godi to 
install my packages, getting patches in there becomes a little harder.

Is there anyway we can get those patches into the official versions of 
these products so we don't need to manualy patch?

Regards,
Blair

The patches have been submitted to the developers. Some have been
accepted. The Xcaml home page is obsolete, so probably some of the
mentioned patches are no longer necessary. I must continue apologizing
for taking eons to publish the new tla repos, with the updated build
system and support for Ocaml 3.08.

For what it's worth, there are sites which will mirror tla/gnu-arch
archives for free:

	http://www.sourcecontrol.net
	https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/doap

They're both associated with Canonical.com and Ubuntu linux.
