Summer of Code

meta = {'category': misc, 'date': Fri 25 August 2006}

I’ve finished the last few bits of my Summer of Code project. Client and server side authentication to CUPS using Kerberos work now, and that includes both the administration tools and IPP.

It’s been fun working on CUPS and now that I’m a bit more familiar with the code, I’d like to have a stab at implementing SPNEGO and NTLMSSP support as well. This should be much easier now, as I have already done the required work to support WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate, one of the prerequisites for both Kerberos and SPNEGO.

Rolf Kvinge also seems to have been successful, Mono now has a self-hosting Visual Basic.NET compiler. I’m looking forward to trying it out, once I can get my hands on a binary to compile it with…

NUnit packages and SVN integration in mono

meta = {'category': debian, 'date': Thu 13 April 2006}

My new nunit packages just got accepted by ftp-master. The CLI Policy has been updated.

In the mean while, I’ve continued work on the svn plugin for bzr. The refactored bzr API is working great for foreign branch implementation. The only two things that are odd so far are the fact that I have to implement a phony ‘Transport’ subclass and I think the name of ‘BzrDir’ should be changed, though I’m not sure to what.

NUnit in unstable

meta = {'category': debian, 'date': Tue 04 October 2005}

My first package (nunit) is now in the Debian archive. It was approved by ftp-master two days ago.

Thanks go to Andrew “ajmitch” Mitchell for sponsoring and to Mirco “meebey” Bauer and David “Dajobe” Beckett for comments and feedback. See the pkg-mono pages for details.

Meebey has uploaded another package (gnunit) that provides a Gtk# interface to NUnit. Screenshot

NUnit packages

meta = {'category': debian, 'date': Thu 09 June 2005}

I’m currently fixing the last few quirks in my NUnit Debian packages, after getting a some good feedback from the folks at #debian-mono. Just a few more hours before I’ll put into pkg-mono’s SVN. Until then, snapshots are available at:

deb ftp://autobuild.vernstok.nl/pub/releases/nunit/debian ./
deb-src ftp://autobuild.vernstok.nl/pub/releases/nunit/debian ./

I wonder what I’ll work on next. Perhaps nantcontrib or ndoc?
