libevecache 0.1.2 binary and filename globbing

Filed under: EVE-Central, Software — Yann @ 11:20 pm

I have built a new binary of libevecache 0.1.2 for Windows. Included are several important fixes to the CSV export file.

Note that filename globbing (such as using *.cache) is NOT working under cmd.exe in Windows (PowerShell not tested), since Windows does not do filename globbing for commands. As a temporary workaround, use bash ;)

EVE-Central Unborked

Filed under: EVE-Central — Yann @ 3:14 pm

My apologizes for the EVE-Central being down. Minor error on my part – the workers weren’t running under the correct user settings in terms of file handles, so they ran out. Everything should be kosher now.

Contribtastic work is moving in spurts. I’ll get something pushed out soon enough.

libevecache 0.1 and 0.1.1

Filed under: EVE-Central, Software — Yann @ 4:59 pm

libevecache just gained two releases this weekend. Version 0.1 was a functional single shot cache file to .CSV file converter capable release, but had huge memory leak and pointer ownership issues, which made Contribtastic! very unstable and generally unusable.

After spending some quality time with Valgrind, all of the remaining issues are now resolved, and version 0.1.1 is available for mass consumption. Look for Contribtastic early betas soon. One new feature of libevecache in version 0.1.1 is the dumper is capable of digesting a whole CachedMethodCalls folder in one shot (just pass it the list of files on the command line). When you run dumper with the --market flag, you can safely redirect stdout to the file of your choice.
