PEPr Proposal [687]: Database::DB_DataObject_FormBuilder_Frontend

2012-12-20T06:54:13-05:00

Proposed package: Database::DB_DataObject_FormBuilder_Frontend

Proposer: Mads Lie Jensen

Package to build frontends for database editing. The most basic use requires very little code, most is done in a config-file written in xml.

It displays list of tables that can be edited, lists the contents of the tables and forms for editing/adding/deleting records from these tables.

Database access is done using DB_DataObjects, forms for editing is made using DB_DataObject_FormBuilder and the lists of tables or table-contents with Structures_DataGrid. This makes the behavior and output very flexible. But if not flexible enough, the package can be easily expanded using plugins and different forms of callback-methods.

Code can be found on Github

PEPr Proposal [681]: PHP::opensrf-php

2012-10-22T03:32:09-05:00

Proposed package: PHP::opensrf-php

Proposer: Pranjal Prabhash

Package opensrf-php is a PHP bindings for the OpenSRF library, which allows you to make requests and receive responses from OpenSRF services, such as those that comprise the Evegreen Integrated Library System (ILS) (http://open-ils.org/).

Examples of how to use the bindings to contact typical services for Evergreen are under the examples/ directory.

Setting up an OpenSRF session will retrieve the fm_IDL.xml file from the targeted server, which provides that server's Interface Description Language. This essentially means class definitions that allow certain data structures to be interpreted as objects in the Object-oriented sense.

PEPr Proposal [670]: Images::EllipseArc

2011-12-10T11:54:03-05:00

Proposed package: Images::EllipseArc

PEPr Proposal [669]: Encode::Encode_Base58_GMP

2011-11-14T02:31:31-05:00

Proposed package: Encode::Encode_Base58_GMP

Proposer: John Wang

Base58-GMP-PHP

High speed Base58 encoding using GMP with BigInt support

Base58 is a compact, safe, and readable encoding that uses

alpha-numeric characters only (unlike Base64) and limits

the alphabet to easily readable characters, avoiding

[0OIl] (unlike Base62).

Base58 is used by Flickr and others for URL shortening.

This implementation uses the GNU Multiple Precision

Arithmetic Library (GMP) (http://gmplib.org/) for high

speed encoding and decoding.

A md5_base58 function is also provided for digest

generation

PEPr Proposal [662]: Science::Astronomy

2011-08-01T17:53:11-05:00

Proposed package: Science::Astronomy

Proposer: Alexander Wirtz

Hi all,

I'd like to start a package containing often looked after functions for calculating moon phases, moonrise, moonset, azimuths, local sidereal time, etc., which are used in astronomical context.

Currently I've started implementing some of these functions in my other package Services_Weather, but it has grown to a point, where breaking them off makes a lot of sense.

I just wanted to get a feeling, if this should be implemented yes or no, otherwise I continue implementing the bare necessities in Services_Weather.

Best,

Alexander

PEPr Proposal [660]: Version Control::VersionControl_Hg

2011-06-20T19:19:25-05:00

Proposed package: Version Control::VersionControl_Hg

Proposer: Michael Gatto

VersionControl_Hg is a PEAR PHP wrapper for the Mercurial version control system. The API interface is designed to be fluid with chainable methods:

include 'VersionControl/Hg.php';

$hg = new VersionControl_Hg('/path/to/repository');

$unformatted_text_log = $hg->log()->after('Dec 27, 2010')->excluding('**.xml')->format('raw')->run();

All mercurial commands are represented by a base method in this package:

hg log = $hg->log()->run();

However, there is not an exact 1-to-1 corresponence between Mercurial option names and chained helper methods. Instead, I have chosen to use full, semantic method names to make it clear how the option should modify the command. I have used Mercurial long-option names wherever they make sense, but modified them to better fit into the fluid interface.

The initial use case is to make a useful interface to Mercurial for Phing and other deployment & build systems. Eventually, I plan to support all Mercurial commands.

A Mercurial installation is required. Either the stock CLI client or TortoiseHg, which includes the CLI client. VersionControl_Hg is smart enough to search the Path to find a viable Mercurial executable. Platform independence is a primary design goal.

Code, build script, and documentation is available at: https://bitbucket.org/mgatto/versioncontrol_hg/overview
