Cobra/Lobo Dead? - lobo-cobra

Are the Cobra and Lobo projects dead?

A.

Their SourceForge project hasn't been updated since January 2009. I'd guess yes... which is a pity. It'd be really handy right about now as a java replacement for part of wkhtmltopdf.

Is there a Football (soccer) Manager Open Source in Ruby?

Does anybody knows of a open source football manager lib written in Ruby?
I am writing one would like to have some base to match against, any hints?
Quick search on GitHub revealed these:
champz - Championship management. Seems pretty active.
rojos_soccer - Team management. Rather old, last commit was near the beggining of 2009.
Solebury-Soccer - Practice log tracker, if I understood right. Looks pretty old too.
It seems champz's your best shot.
Most recente GitHub search, revealed one more:
http://github.com/paliyoes/pfc_sfo_rails3
I've found a installed version here:

Is the Eclipse CDT Refactoring Project Dead?

I've been over to the site lately and nothing much seems to work (aside from the main page)
My guess is most of that project has been included in the newly released CDT6.0 and also back in the CDT5.0 (as mentioned, for the 5.0 part, in this blog post).

I love the Google Project Hosting web app. It includes bug tracking, wiki and SCM in one interface. (Example: WMD Editor)
This solution is closed source and not for sale. While searching similar solutions I found Trac which has a rougher interface.
Could you list similar solutions?
Someone asked the same question, but specified Git as the SCM.
[EDIT] Since I wrote this answer, an exciting new fully-integrated distributed project management software has hit 1.0: Veracity by SourceGear.
Fossil-SCM is a nice distributed SCM, where "SCM" has the original meaning of "Software Configuration Management" and not the new diluted meaning of "Source Code Management".
What this means is that Fossil integrates distributed version control, distributed bug tracking and distributed wiki into one repository. Not one UI, like, say, Trac but one single repository.
So, if you clone a Fossil repository, you do not just get the latest version of the source code plus all its history, like you would get with Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Monotone, Darcs or any other version control system, you also get the current bug database plus all its history and the current wiki plus all its history.
Fossil is written by D. Richard Hipp, who is not only the author of SQLite but also CVSTrac (the precursor of Trac). So, you know it's gotta be good.
If you want to see an example of Fossil in action, just the follow the link I posted: Fossil is hosted in Fossil itself and the Fossil homepage is actually just the Fossil repository itself.
BTW: even if you don't end up using Fossil, just spend some time learning its concepts. It's a rather brilliant design, and you're probably going to learn something which you can apply even if you are using Trac, Git, Instiki or whatever.
You might look at redmine.org, I'm just getting familiar with it, having only used it on a project for a couple months, but liking it so far.
If you're willing to tolerate closed source FogBugz is pretty good. http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBUGZ/
They'll let you test it for up to 2 people and if you decide you like it you can either licence space on their servers or purchase to run on your servers.
If you're an open source only kind of guy, I recommend diversifying. Get a couple different pieces of software to do the different things you want. Often times things like SVN will have post commit scripts to link your commits to your wiki or bug tracking, etc.
Its nice when things are bundled, but nicer when you can pick and choose the things you want.
Trac does all of these things.
If you really like the Google Hosting App, you might find InDefero the right choice for you.
I like Assembla.
FogBugz is pretty slick. I've been using for a month and really like it. It has a SCM plugin.
Do you really need all three solutions (SCM, bug tracking, and wiki) in one solution? Why not mix and match the solutions that work best for you?
I've never used Trac, but bugzilla works really well as a free bug tracker. There are lots of open source wikis out there, and for free SCMs, mercurial, git and subversion are all excellent choices.
For paid solutions, Atlassian Jira and Confluence (task tracking and wiki) are okay, but FogBugz is better. Perforce is IMHO the best non-free SCM out there.
Did someone mention Indefero? Looks nice enough so non-techs wont be scared to use it, open source version, private projects... Git support, issue tracker... seems like a good solution.
I'll have to go with echoesofspring on this one. Redmine looks to be a great system as issue tracking/ project management tool if you want to:
1. manage multiple projects with sub-projects
2. project/ task status transparency with clients or project managers
3. repository integration (I haven't used it)
4. Gant charts and calendars and more...
I chose it from this [wiki list of project management tools] :[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_project_management_software#!

GUI based debugger for Ruby?

Is there any GUI based debugger for Ruby? Just a debugger. I do not want a full IDE like NetBeans because they tend to get your project dirty with extra files.
thanks!
Check out Mr. Guid, which uses GTK+ and is cross-platform.
In netbeans you can tell it to put the netbeans project files in a separate directory or you can easily ignore the nbproject directory with your project's vcs. Netbeans has by far the best integrated debugging I have seen and there are many other great reasons to give it a try. Don't worry about netbeans using a project folder. I highly doubt you'll be able to find a better free GUI debugger.
If the code completion stuff gets in your way with netbeans it is easy to turn off and only request code completion when you want it (ctrl+space). That was my biggest gripe with netbeans.
I haven't used it in about a year, but I liked Arachno Ruby

Has anyone used Raven?

What do you think about this build tool? I'm thinking of migrating from maven2 to raven (my poms are getting bigger and bigger), but I'd like to hear some opinions first.
Thanks!
#andre:
Thank's for writing but I was actually looking for real experiences using raven. Anyway, the fact that nobody wrote is an indicator by itself (it seems few people are using it)
I haven't used either Raven or Buildr, but I have heard good things about the latter. In this blog article by Assaf Arkin, there is a nice case study: a 5,443 line, 52 file Maven configuration was reduced to 485 lines of Buildr. And, even though everybody says "Ruby is slow", Buildr was 2-6x faster than Maven.
Also, unlike Raven, Buildr seems to still be maintained: it is currently in the incubator stage as an official Apache project.
pom growth is a problem that everybody faces w/ maven I guess, but maven is at least maintained (2.1. just around the corner) and the raven project looks pretty dead to me. No updates this year and the mailinglist archives are also very small. It looks to me as it's too risky to switch your build process to a tool w/o a living community. Not quite the answer you wanted I guess, but my 2 cents.
I don't know anything about raven.
You should check out plain old rake, which lets you create very powerful tasks.
I've also heard about sake, which is just like rake tasks but system-wide, instead of being only available inside one of your projects.
They may not be specialized for Java, but they sure beat the hell out of plain old bash or (heaven forbid) batch scripts.
