weekly update

Here the last 3-weeks WU :-)

Now the details.

Well, I miss one WU, but here the 2-weeks update :-D .. a little late :-p

Week 1: Making backend class abstraction work with git backend and planning interfaces again.
in the middle: lot of sdboyer interaction!
Week 2: Choose where to use interfaces and where inheritance can make the work better.

Now the details.

This week my mentors and me made a new plan to beat our targets, so you can see how it changes at my project wiki.

Well, this week I also divided it more less into the same sections :-D

I miss one WU again(:-( mainly because of final deadlines in my courses last week), but here are the news for both weeks.

It's divided in 3 sections: tests, stable branch and oop branch.

Completely forgot that we need to write weekly updates, thought everything moved to the wikis, sorry about that.

I missed one WU, so what have been done since then:

• array access really helps to migrate to OOP, so each class implements that SPL interface
• Like it was expected, dia auto-generation only did the easy part, and like it's mentionen in WU2 I made a bulk update on each class trying map all needed functions as methods. After that I needed to make lots of manual changes, to use the methods and data members, but also fix the last ones to made relations between classes.
• I'm using references to the "parents" on "children", instead of lists of "children" on "parents" or both approaches (like item class repository data member instead of list of items on repository). This is not definitive, but now it's like this.
• Replace username on versioncontrol core in favor of author and commiter.
• Use already defined database identifier names instead of "id". This is mainly for use the cool drupal_write()
• New stuff working pushed on versioncontrol core oop branch, but like you imagine I needed a backend to test, so I used my own branch of git backend
  • Repository add/edit/delete/fetch
  • VCS Account add/list

A little late this week, as I was moving into my summer apartment.

Coding:

• This week I started moving function to methods one by one(versioncontrol_get_accounts and versioncontrol_user_accounts_load)
• Then I decide to make more drastic changes, aborting the plan of keeping oop branch stable. So I made bulk updates of classes: repository, operation, item, label, branch, tag, account(defering the way proposed on the original dia diagram like jpetso suggest me).
• Now I'm working(oop branch) on fix each class methods to get all original functionallity working(I made a specific TODO).

This week was not a terribly busy one, with most of my time spent getting acquainted with the APIs of Drupal, the versioncontrol module, and Subversion. I was able to complete the pre-commit hook for Subversion, as well as the basic configuration for the other Subversion hooks.

Last week was kind of little productive one :-(, but good news, coding started :-D

• Closing initial aspects of how to make the OOP implementation of versioncontrol
• Coding started:
  • It's based on initial dia2code files, but like you are thinking, it's just first draft. So now it could be possible to include more aspects postponed on diagram and I'll clean by hand all not-useful code.
  • Just first attempt, more coming on oop branch.

The plan is replace functionality with OOP keeping the branch as stable as possible.

PS: We did not agree on a title format for weekly updates, so I propose one: "WU: "
