[10:18:52 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> hello
[10:36:00 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> i am having heck of a time trying to get toro portlets installed.
[10:36:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I've never worked with them but what are you running into?
[10:41:14 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> i emailed uportal-user list this morning what i did..
[10:41:38 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> which is basically following all the instructions on the toro deployment webpage
[10:41:46 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> which is hosted on google code
[10:41:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> just saw that ... you'll probably need to include more details (error messages, expected versus actual results, etc)
[10:42:10 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> hmm... the trick is we don't get errors.
[10:42:22 EDT(-0400)] * clown (n=chatzill@guiseppi.atrc.utoronto.ca) has joined ##uportal
[10:51:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so what happens when you try to subscribe to the portlets?
[10:54:45 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> we try to add it..
[10:58:27 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> we published the channel..
[10:58:52 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> and try to add it to a layout but we can't find it in the add layout page
[10:59:05 EDT(-0400)] <esm> freakin a
[10:59:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah ... when you published it did you assign permissions and categories to it?
[10:59:19 EDT(-0400)] <esm> there must be some magic to install source jars in eclipse with m2
[10:59:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> are using m2eclipse?
[10:59:38 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> yes all and everyone
[11:00:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[11:00:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and it shows up in the Channel Manager for editing if you want
[11:00:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but not in add content?
[11:00:48 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> yep
[11:01:55 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yup using m2eclipse
[11:02:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that is strange ... email the list with that description (published the portlet and with exactly which permissions/categories, but don't see it in the add content view) and see what ideas people have
[11:02:36 EDT(-0400)] <esm> installling sources has never worked for me
[11:02:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> esm: so what I do is when I'm at that nice eclipse page that says there is no source and has the Attache Source button
[11:03:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> click that ... browse to the source JAR for the artifact that you retrieved from some where manually and select it
[11:03:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> m2eclipse should prompt you about installing it into the repo, say yes
[11:03:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that's what I do
[11:03:32 EDT(-0400)] <esm> I have done that... and i say yes
[11:03:35 EDT(-0400)] <esm> but it doesn't install.
[11:03:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> weird
[11:03:40 EDT(-0400)] <esm> so i've installed the source jar manually
[11:04:03 EDT(-0400)] <esm> and if i point to the source jar manually (after being prompted to attach source) it doesn't realize hat the jar contains soruces
[11:04:05 EDT(-0400)] <esm> oh well
[11:04:12 EDT(-0400)] <esm> must be something specific ot my environment hten
[11:27:39 EDT(-0400)] * pberry (n=pberry@waldorf.CSUChico.EDU) has joined ##uportal
[11:35:49 EDT(-0400)] * esm loves working with dormant code
[11:36:46 EDT(-0400)] <esm> I'm using Slide (webdav lib) which hasn't had a release in two years but there are apparently some commits on the trunk so it at least has a pulse
[11:36:56 EDT(-0400)] <esm> but its dependencies are ancient
[11:36:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oi
[11:37:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that is never fun
[11:37:29 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yup. i just "mavenized" commons-xmlio, which never (afaik) had a release
[11:37:36 EDT(-0400)] <esm> its version is 0.1pre
[11:38:16 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i had to check it out from $ASFSVN/commons/dormant/xmlio
[11:38:17 EDT(-0400)] <esm> lol
[11:38:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uhg
[11:38:20 EDT(-0400)] <esm> "dormant"
[11:38:22 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yay
[11:38:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> what do you need that for?
[11:38:32 EDT(-0400)] <esm> its a dep of slide
[11:39:06 EDT(-0400)] <esm> marshals the xml returned from the webdav server apparently
[11:39:15 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i'm not really sure
[11:39:33 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i'm just doing a down and dirty proof of concept but it is taking longer than hoped
[11:40:16 EDT(-0400)] <esm> there's a bug in slide that I fixed so that is why i need to rebuild it
[11:40:37 EDT(-0400)] <esm> it would have been easier to just work around it in retrospect
[12:07:32 EDT(-0400)] * ac_chan (n=alex@tempoutsidepix.pratt.edu) has joined ##uportal
[13:58:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oi ... trying to figure out everything that needs to be done for this pluto integration work
[14:13:13 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> exit
[14:33:41 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> EricDalquist: so, I haven't forgotten about the JIRA upgrade. I'm going to be at HighEdWebDev next week though. I'll probably put a timeline proposal together and run it by the list "soon" though
[14:35:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> no problem
[14:35:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> whenever you get to it
[14:36:49 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> I was just playing around with some of the screen configuration stuff in 3.11 for our HR group...man, stuff is so much easier to customize now
[14:36:59 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> although, I doubt that would be useful to JA-SIG
[14:37:13 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> but, you never know how people want to use things...
[14:53:34 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i've been out of the jira biz for a while (we are still on 3.3.3) but you may want to check out some of the custom plugins the ASF has developed
[14:53:40 EDT(-0400)] <esm> https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa
[14:54:05 EDT(-0400)] <esm> they have a nice project drop-down selector, and a nice "latest-releases" plugin
[14:54:28 EDT(-0400)] <esm> ooh hadoop had another release
[15:19:21 EDT(-0400)] * ac_chan (n=alex@tempoutsidepix.pratt.edu) has joined ##uportal
[15:41:00 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> "Hadoop can reliably store and process petabytes." – wow
[15:41:08 EDT(-0400)] <esm> hadoop is very cool
[15:41:27 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i want ot hook it up to Sakai's ContentHostingHandler... no time no time...
[15:43:48 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> What would one use hadoop for?
[15:46:54 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> I guess if you have to ask, it isn't for you

[16:12:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hey esm could you give http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/Pluto+1.1+Integration a quick peak? I'm starting to document what I think I'll need to do for getting pluto 1.1 into the trunk
[16:13:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it is very minimal so far but I feel like I just need more eyes on this
