For those of you using canofcode (for the record, that’s me and googlebot), it is back up. There’s a story to that statement, of course.

I discovered, oh, maybe a month ago that my impression that the Subversion to Ruby SWIG bindings did not support remote repositories was just plain wrong. Had I looked at the code, I would have found the Svn::Ra module. Relying heavily on the unit tests, I started work on creating a library that used the Svn::Ra library to replace my previous work on directly implementing the svn and svn-over-WebDAV protocols.

About this time, googlebot started roaming through the site and errors started showing up regularly in my email box (I’d done a few, but obviously imperfect, unit tests). A number of these were directly related to my aforementioned implementations, so rather than fix them, I took down the site until I had the new Ra-based library ready. And now it is!

My next step for canofcode is to work on the UI (such as making some ‘potential’ links into actual links), along with better functional testing, etc. I will also continue working on CVS and Darcs implementations.

In addition, I am nearing completion on a CSCM adapter using Svn::Ra. CSCM is a library that has recently been created by Johan Sørensen, creator of Collaboa, assumedly for future use in Collaboa. I’m considering using the CSCM library for canofcode, part of the reason I’m developing the aforementioned library.
