lvmgui 0.2 release
Hi,
I just released LVM Gui version 0.2.
You can download it at the projects website:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~mmj/lvm
In this release I have also include the source code, for those who are interested.
Although I did not get that match feedback on my first release, I still hope people find the LVM Gui useful, despite the fact that it is written in java.
Summary of the changes:
* Version 0.2 first source release
+ New Features / Enhancements / Bug Fixes
- added images for LV and PV.
- extend/reduce a VG
- extend/reduce a LV
- added vgscan in menu
- changed File->Rescan to File->Refresh
regards,
Jorg de Jong

rather interesting, yes. I guess I'll someday have to install java on my boxes... :/

well, I, and a lot of people I know, don't use java much (read: at all) and hence don't have it installed. it might be useful to at least have some links pointing people to where they could download a working java system for their linux flavor. :)

sounds cute. I was actually thinking of writing something like this myself, but can't really decide on what language to do it in. :)

How about Tcl/Tk? Quick and easy to learn (a bit C, and Perl combined). I picked it up quick by hacking allready made scripts, and I didn't know any perl, but I know some C. And you've got a good one allready made, "/usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig.tk" (might have to do "make xconfig" to create it though). Not as pretty as java, or C, but much faster than C to create, and will run on most systems.

:-P Tcl/Tk has got to be the ickiest language I've ever had the
displeasure of writing a program in this side of BASIC. It combines the obtuseness of lisp with the execution speed of Javascript.
Might I humbly suggest Python. :-) Python is much cleaner than
Tcl/Tk. You can even use Tcl/Tk from Python without having to write any Tcl code. Or, you could use PyGTK or PyGNOME and have a nicer looking interface. :-) It's also nearly as fast to develop in as Tcl/TK. It has a command line interpreter and a very regular set of rules.
Have fun (if at all possible),

what? ick. Common Lisp is _very_ nice to work with thank you. that Tcl is the ultimate masochist language even beyond befunge on the other hand is true.

I was locked in a few choices, I know perl very well, I know python quite well. I know lisp enough to love it.
the question is maintenance. and I wonder if I write perl so much better than python that it would be a good idea. then again, I'm not that happy producing code in either.
and right now, I don't have time. :(

Well, you might consider rep-gtk then? =)
(No, I have no idea what it's like.)
I'd still like to note that it may very likely have to be compiled on a server that doesn't have toolkit x. This rules mostly out QT, sometimes GTK and maybe even TK.
Anyone thought about a curses one? It might still help visualizing the stuff and intimidate some users less, help prevent stupid mistakes etc. Gui doesn't have to be X.
Just my thoughts =)

python is fair enough.
except that it doesn't gracefully handle most o/s issues. it's especially painful to inline C (if necessary).

if you like lisp, use perl -- lists of lists are lists :-) it's especially convienent for things like LVM, which are... well... lists.

the perl for this would look pretty much like the C. you could use Perl/Tk to make the programming easier (i.e., modular w/ reasonable exeption handling).

well, if you want quick, easy but powerful GUI development try Qt.
right. and you'll suggest using C++? the python-interface isn't that grand, to put it bluntly.
Quoted 4 lines
You can provide a static version for those who don't have a desktop environment like KDE running, my main reason for Qt is however that it's just plain *FUN* to hack. Easy, straight forward, fast, stable and free - GPL'ed.
I'll agree to most of that. and the docs are wonderful. the only issue is the light fact that it's written in C++. I sadly enough think that if I ever start something like this I'll be ending up using perl/[G]tk.
Quoted 1 line
Just my opinion, however.
don't worry, you're entitled to it. :p

In case you guys haven't checked out ruby please do. It's alot cooler than python and there is both tk, gtk, fox and qt-interfaces to it. (I think the QT one is pre-alpha or something :) )
/Erik - this is kinda of-topic isn't it? :)

Java works. Your gui will be a nice addition. Please write it in what even lang you want too.

No no no.. languages are religion. If you're not with us you're against us :)
No.. just kidding.. I agree.. use the whatever is the right tool for you to get the job done. However, talking about tools is never wrong..
