Just out of curiosity, the three of you who are on the wiki page so far, what languages do you know?

anybody have any idea where I can find perl_checker? i'm trying to get drakconf up on Sab, which looks to me a tad more promising than yast due to the language - it's written in perl, making it quite editable and extensible. Only problem is I'm drawing a blank on where to find the perl libraries - the mandriva ones left gentoo in 2005.

The languages I know well are C/C++.

Other languages I've written programs in are: C#, assembly, perl (only like 3 small programs), and scheme. And don't ever ask me to write a program in scheme again. I loathe scheme. I did a little GTK programming and also some OpenGL programming in C++ as well.

Languages I know fluently are: java, C# (and SQL)

Languages I used in the past are: C/C++, assembly, ADA, python, Haskell and Prolog.

I don't think that the languages known is very important, because my opinion is that once you know one or two languages and have experience in programming, using a new language isn't that hard. You will only spent more time looking in API's and such because you don't know the libraries and syntax...

I know these languages: C/C++/Qt, C#, Java, SQL

the mcc is written in perl? hm.. didn't known.. I'll see if I can find the libs for you while I'm fighting with the yast2 ui ^^

[Edit]: funny.. look at our last post times.. 6:06, 8:08, 9:09 ^^

[Edit2]: I've found a src rpm for you: ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandriva/devel/cooker/SRPMS/main/release/perl_checker-1.2.4-3mdv2009.0.src.rpm

Sound like if we start from scratch we'll be in c++ then (which I too have a mastery of). Also, thanks LordBernhard - just so you know, look at all the post times

And as for learning new languages isn't hard, have to say I'd agree. If we go with drakconf we'll stay in perl, and we'll see about yast. I've got C/C++, shell, perl, Java, Python, and some web stuff that's really not applicable.

hm.. interesting ^^

so.. seems like we are 4 now? should I add you to the wiki page? (members of the team)

[xlnagla]

Around release points for normal Sab I'll be a tad busy with testing-related stuff, but add me for sure.

Good Luck Config Tool Team!

The masses are anxious to see your results, so is it done yet?

I've been watching this forum page for a while hoping it would develop into something. Thank God it did!
If I had constant access to highspeed internet, I'd join. I know a bit of C++ myself. Definately not mastered, but I know enough
and Learn quick. If I get highspeed soon, I'll join in! I don't have any internet access where I live. No dialup,cable,DSL, no nothing.
Satellite is a bit too expensive, but I'm still considering it due to needing the internet. The only thing I can get in my area is $65 a month
plus a $300 installation and parts fee.

BTW like xlnagla, I am a Beta Tester so I'd be busy around those times too. I'll be checking in on this thread for updates
Good Luck, I hope to see big results from this! This would be one of the biggest contributions to Sabayon since equo/entropy !
