<ayers> Hello *
<reinhard> hey ayers
<ayers> I'm walking through the "Developers-Guide.pdf" and I've come to some small issues :-)  Hello Reinhard!!!
<ayers> The guide mentions the config files that it would search depending ont the app name.
<ayers> (BTW: I've got the current debian packages installed on Lenny)
<ayers> It mentions that it would search for a $HOME/.gnue/ourapp.conf
<reinhard> which Developers-Guide is this?
<ayers> Now I'm assuming that "ourapp" refers to the name set as either COMMAND or NAME
<ayers> Common-Doc
<reinhard> oh
<reinhard> just to make sure
<ayers> np
<reinhard> that is what you read if you want to develop your own, non-gnue applications and use the gnue-common library
<ayers> (actually just looked at the PDF file name... I had to check from where I clicked the link)
<reinhard> is that what you are planning?
<ayers> no, not really...
<ayers> I doe watn a gnue application but I don't want to necessarily use an ERP template.
<reinhard> then this document is not really important for you
<ayers> OK Thanks...
<reinhard> you'd probably rather look at the gnue-appserver docs section
<reinhard> there is a developer's guide, too
<reinhard> which is how to use gnue-forms and gnue-appserver etc. to build database aware apps
<ayers> That sounds more like it :-) Thanks!

<ayers> are the sources of the documatation located somewhere in http://svn.gnuenterprise.org/gnue/trunk ?
<ayers> ah yes it seems like it.
<ayers> I guess you cannot use gnue-schema to create a database for a connection other than 'gnue'
<ayers> s/gnu-schema/gnu-setupdb/
<reinhard> sure
<reinhard> --connection=foo
<ayers> gnue-setupdb ?
<reinhard> err
<ayers> That's shell script here that has gnue hardcoded... but maybe that's an old version.
<reinhard> yes you are right
<reinhard> gnue-setupdb has connection gnue hardcoded
<ayers> I'm hacking a proposal patch...
<reinhard> but as that's a one-liner, you can just use gnue-schema if you need a different connection
<ayers> OK... so that datadir stuff only to find the file... which I don't want here either ...ok..

<ayers> hmm is the gnue connection(appserver/gnue.gsd) an 'example' or does it contain necessary metadata needed at runtime for any application?
<ayers> I had thought it was an example but it looks like necessary metadata...
<reinhard> it is necessary metadata
<ayers> Thanks!
<reinhard> there are example files in samples/
<reinhard> erm
<reinhard> somewhere in /usr/share/doc, wherever the deb packages put the examples, I don't remember off-hand
<ayers> np...
<ayers> I just didn't realize that I needed to configure the connection.
<ayers> should encoding=utf8 be supported? (I know the mysql backend will support it)
<reinhard> yes
<ayers> cool!
<reinhard> although in most cases it should not be necessary to configure the encoding explicitly
<reinhard> as if you don't, the default for the database will be used
<reinhard> which is some sort of unicode or utf-8 for most current databases anyway
<ayers> OK... I'll comment it for now :-)
<ayers> would it be safe to drop the test (and dcl) aliases?
<reinhard> yes
<reinhard> all aliases
<ayers> Ack... thanks!
<reinhard> is the connections.conf we install by default still that old sample?
<reinhard> wow
<ayers> hehe
<reinhard> actually the minimal connections.conf is something like
<reinhard> [gnue]
<reinhard> provider = mysql
<reinhard> dbname = gnue
<reinhard> ... done :)
<ayers> plus user and pwd, right?
<reinhard> yes, if the db is configured to ask for a password
<reinhard> (in test environments I usually configure the backend to allow access without passwd
<reinhard> )
<reinhard> the user defaults to
<reinhard> ...erm ... I think ... gnue
<reinhard> man
<reinhard> it's way too long since I gnue'd, I start forgetting things :(
<ayers> OK... so maybe the default permissions for the conections.conf file should not be world readable though ;-) (but I haven't tested  that yet)

*** jamest has joined #gnuenterprise
<ayers> ok... it seems like gnue-setupdb (gnue-schema) ignores 'password' :-)
<ayers> but I don't imediately see why... I'm debugging and I'll report back...
<ayers> ok... this seems to be and username/password owner/ownerpwd issue specific to the mysql driver
*** snigelgr has joined #gnuenterprise
<snigelgr> hello all from greece
<reinhard> hi
<snigelgr> i have one question
<snigelgr> Install the gnue from source and all ok bad if run gnue-designer this don't run and say this...
<snigelgr> /usr/local/gnue/lib/python/gnue/designer/base/TemplateParser.py:30: DeprecationWarning: The wxPython compatibility package is no longer automatically generated or actively maintained.  Please switch to the wx package as soon as possible.
<snigelgr>   from wxPython.wx import *
<snigelgr> any know nothing ?
<reinhard> just a second
<snigelgr> ok
<reinhard> oh
<reinhard> just read that it is about designer
<reinhard> designer is not maintained currently AFAICT
<reinhard> sorry, about to run off right now
<reinhard> look for somebody called kilo or btami, they have been looking at designer lately IIRC
<reinhard> must run
<reinhard> cu
