Do you mean Solaris for x86 or for SPARC workstations ?

Either, but I was thinking sparc.

Sorry, no chance for sparc hardware support.
On this platforms you must stay with FreeRide,Eclipse,Vi or Emacs.

The splashscreen says 30 days trial edition ?

So is it 30 days or time unlimited ?

But anyway, i'm impressed, it looks really nice.

How does the chipset matter?

It's not a chipset but another operating system with a lot of
minor things that need tuning. Is there a dnotify call for
observing file directories ? Is the signal handling the same when you
use pthreads ? What about "/proc/<pid>/exe" to find the installed
binary.

And then you have to justify the investment in money for hardware and
the time that it takes to add another platform to the build process.
Just for a platform that is not very popular among developers. But if
you want to pay me for consulting on this issue ..... :-)

That looks reeeeeally nice. Any chance of SFTP support any time soon?
That's really the only thing keeping me from using it. Right now I'm
using jEdit, which is ok but has too many quirks. Eclipse seems nice
but I don't want to have to go create a site to import files into a
project just to edit them.

The first arachno users maybe remember that during the 0.1 and 0.2
versions there was already FTP support. I disabled this during the 0.3
rewrite where i completely changed the file handling code - and until now
nobody asked about this again. When FTP comes back i think it's easy to get
SFTP and maybe even WebDAV (does anybody really use this ?) support.

Do you know any SFTP server that is easy to setup on my
development system ?

And KDevelop works fine on Solaris too.

Jay, what jEdit quirks are causing you problems? I'm working on the
next release of the Ruby Editor Plugin for jEdit, which along with
method auto-completion for the core Ruby types, will also fix some
quirks in the plugin's parsing of Ruby code.

If you let me know your problems I might be able to get a fix into the
next release if they're related to the plugin.

Cheers,
Rob

CSS Syntax Highlighting is not working for me.
I created a new project with existing files ( Rails Site ) nad the several
css stylesheet files are not highlighted when I open them in the editor.

Thx.

No. It's using the FOX toolkit and the current version does not
support anything else then ISO-8859-1. I want to wait with adding all
other the encodings until FOX goes unicode. I hope this happens until
end of year which means it would fall into the time schedule for the
1.0 release.

Under Linux or OS X I think OpenSSH is probably the way to go. There is a
cygwin port for windows but well, it's cygwin ;)
<http://www.openssh.org/>

I didn't seem too hard to build and setup the last time I did it.

Yes, cygwin took less then 15 min to install the whole thing, generate
all keys and setup an openssh service. So i will begin hacking soon.

Was just confused that we have SFTP (simple file transfer), TFTP
(trivial file transfer), FTP (file transfer) and SFTP (secure file
transfer). But don't we all love acronyms ?

You can take a look at http://www.ruby-ide.com/downloads/ruby/ArachnoRuby-0.4.12.dmg
Theres a dylib mismatch in the expat parser on Tiger, so you need Panther to run it.

Most serious problems: keycodes, font problems and a crash on the
first run of a ruby program (as the ruby1.8.2.dylib is not detected
on the first run with a modified DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH).

As i'm now adding more features to the version, the next MacOSX
iteration has to wait 2 more month.

This is fixed in the new download, there were also minor problems with
Javascript and HTML files.

Please get it again from http://www.ruby-ide.com

Oh gosh yes, too many acronyms for everything :) Is there really such
thing as simple file transfer? Even more confusingly, if memory serves me
right, sftp (as in openssh) actually isn't anything like ftp (RFC 959, the
one at port 20/21) at all.

On a slightly related note I know that their are some IETF in-process
implementations of a secure FTP done with TLS/SSL. I guess variously
known as ftps. Maybe check out
<http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pfh/ftps-ext_col.html> There's
links at the bottom of all the clients/servers that are doing it. I'm not
sure what the interest level is but the advantage is that it's still
really ftp.

hi,
one potentially dumb question: how do i compile or run ruby scripts
inside jedit. i've gone through all the menus but i can't find the
usual options like Run, Go, Compile, Debug, etc.
thanks,

I haven't implemented those features in the Ruby Editor Plugin for
jEdit yet. The plugin is still quite a new work in progress. Most of
the last two weeks I've spent implementing method auto-completion, as
that was the feature that appeared most in demand based on the
feedback I've received so far.

If anyone is interested in helping out developing a Ruby debugger
feature for jEdit please give me a shout. The plugin is written in
Java and is free software released under the GPL.

By the way, Ruby doesn't need to be compiled to be run. Bi, for now
you can run scripts from the comand line: ruby code.rb

Cheers,
Rob

I have actually seen network admins insist that SFTP access was
available: "I opened port 115 in the firewall. Of course we have SFTP."

Nope, not plugin-related at all - I actually haven't been able to really
sit down and code Ruby yet outside the tutorial. But I've started using
jEdit for editing Perl, PHP, HTML stuff, and I keep running into things.

A bunch turned out to be just defaults I didn't like (like the "smart
home" key binding which I removed, or the lack of TAB binding to
reindent). Some are outright bugs, like the seemingly-intentional
unsupport for page-at-a-time wheel scrolling (tracker #1189908), or the
fact that comment-blocks don't work in Perl mode. And a bunch are just
poor UI choices, like double-clicking closing a tab, or the inability to
memorize passwords, or the odd way that you have to escape from
incremental-search mode, or the lack of modifier-free keyboard shortcuts
in Yes/No dialog boxes, or the inability to rename buffers, or the lack
of indenting in HTML mode, or, or, etc.

It's almost as quirky as xemacs, though in very different and less
fundamental ways, and certainly Java will be easier for me to learn and
fix than LISP was. I'm sure I can hack and plugin jEdit to where it
functions as I want it; it's just a shame that it's not cleaner by now.
Eclipse looks (at first blush) to be much nicer, but the whole
"project" model is incredibly intrusive when all I want to do is edit a
file remotely, so it looks like jEdit will stay as my default choice for
now.

SFTP (Simple File Transfer) is, IIRC, either a precursor or an
alternative to FTP, in much the same way that SMTP was an alternative to
some other mail transfer protocol long since lost to time (maybe X.400).
Nobody uses *that* SFTP anymore, but its name still lives on in
/etc/services.

Secure FTP is, in fact, unrelated to FTP; it uses SSH, and then you get
directory listings with ls, copy files with scp, etc.
