Subject: [ruby-opengl-devel] Hello all,
	self introduction and an update to  the Rakefile
Message-ID: <4582D1EC.2020502@alum.rpi.edu>

Hello all,

    My name is Alain Hoang and I signed up to help try to take 
maintainership
of the ruby-opengl bindings.  I'm very happy to have found this project as
I was a little flabbergasted at seeing how old the Yoshi OpenGL bindings 
were.

    I'm going to spend some more time looking over the documentation that's
available and make sure I have a clear idea of the direction and try to 
document
the current state of the system and where to go from here.  My understanding
is mkrf is sort of stuck and a new release needs to be made in order for
ruby-opengl to be able to build properly.  I'll see what I can do about
helping with that.

    In the meantime, I've also committed in a change to the Rakefile so 
that it
an generate a gem after running build.sh.  I did this to help in testing the
ruby-opengl binding a little bit faster.  I don't know about you folk but
I can never remember where any of the libraries go :( so having a gem
makes this much simpler to install, test, and toss.  So far the current
way I can get trunk to build (On Ubuntu) is:

1. Make a svn checkout of mkrf
2. Build mkrf and install it as a gem or just install it
3. Checkout ruby-opengl
4. Run build.sh to compile the C bindings
5. Run 'rake gem' which creates a gem in the pkg/ subdirectory
6. 'cd pkg' then run 'gem install opengl-x.y.z.gem'


    For the meantime, I've chosen the version number 0.3.2 as this 
corresponds closely
to Yoshi's last version number for the OpenGL bindings however quite a few
changes have been made so perhaps bumping this up to 0.4.0 would be a better
idea?  Or if people have a better idea for version numbers I'm all ears.

Cheers,
Alain

Hi Al,

I don't know you... Did John add you to the 'team' ?

In fact, although I'd like to pursue and complete the project, I've no
time for it.
Anyway, if you have any question, I would be happy to help you.

Ciao,
Thu

Hi guys. Yup, I've added Alain (Al? Which is preferred?) as a project
admin. Sorry I didn't consult you Thu, but we haven't been in contact
for a while, and since you didn't express any interest in
maintainership earlier, and since neither of us have been committing
anything lately, I figured this wouldn't be an issue.

Considering I've disappeared off the map Ruby-wise, I'm excited that
Alain has come forward. His goals for ruby-opengl seem about the same
as ours listed in the req's & design doc, and he's also going to try
and get what's in mkrf's svn released, so I think things will work out
well.

Indeed, it's not a problem.
Hope everything's fine for you John !

Subject: [ruby-opengl-devel] update on mkrf
Message-ID: <45871BE4.8060508@alum.rpi.edu>

Hi all,

    I've contacted Kevin at the mkrf project volunteering to help
and he acknowledged he needed to put out a release.  He wanted
one more feature added into mkrf before cutting a new release so
in order to try expediting a new release of mkrf I tried sending
a patch up to him in the hopes it was what was he was hoping
for.
    Hopefully, I'll hear back in a couple of days on the status of
mkrf.  If a new release comes out soon, I'll be sure to update
the build notes on this.


Cheers,
Alain
