Create SVN repos of Libraries ala TextMate

Posted by Ramone on Dec 25, 2007

Hi.

Many of you probably use the wonderful text editor TextMate. You may be familiar with how it handles extensions, by having them all in separate subversion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software) repositories, allowing the users to check them out and then run "svn update" when they want to get the latest versions.

I think this would be great to implement for Nodeboxes libraries.
They would not be development repositories however, working builds only. The idea is just to allow for easy updating for power users.

Or at least put version numbers on the downloads...

What do you people think?

Hi Ramone,

All of the libraries are already in SVN (take a look at http://dev.nodebox.net/browser/libraries). We'll just need some time and documentation to make them easily available.

As for version numbers, you can always check if the number in the __init.py__ file of the library you have installed matches the "last updated" in the online documentation. Newer libraries also let you do

print coreimage.__version__
to get the version number. Stuff like automatic version updating from inside NodeBox (or automatic posting of code and output from NodeBox to the site) would be terrific but it'll have to wait for a while.

This is a rather old post. Has there been any progress on documentation of importing libraries into textmate? I'd love to be able to use textmate's bundles feature to write nodebox files.

thx.
