Handel Framework

Due to some issues that forced me to move the site from mod_perl to mod_fastcgi, the Subversion repository is no longer available at /svn. The repository is now located at http://svn.handelframework.com/CPAN/Handel/.

Nevermind. The subversion repository is right where it’s always been. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Scratch that. Reverse it. I had to remove the repository again. While it appeared to work properly, it didn’t really work completely.

Rather than updating Handel or working on a Catalyst/Handel powered ecommerce solution, I decided to spend some time and make the site a little easier to work with. Up until this week, it’s been a mish mosh of MovableType templates, Apache handlers, MediaWiki, static pages, and the Catalyst powered demo. I’ve now ‘fixed the glitch’.

The site now shares the same templates and rendering tech (Template Toolkit) running on top of Catalyst. Browing the source now uses a Catalyst SVN model. The wiki is now Catalyst powered using Textile, with no logins required.

With a little bit of tinkering, you can now browse the module documentaton (POD) online. The html version of the module docs are built every hour from the latest code in the HEAD revision of the Handel repository trunk.

After another fit of tinkering, I have finished the changes to allow styled browsing of the Handel source online. You can browse the Handel source tree at /source/. In the past, this was also the url of the Subversion respository. Access to the Subversion repository has been relocated to http://svn.handelframework.com/CPAN/Handel/.

Happy browsing!

When I installed the wiki, I made the decision to turn on white-list edits (edit requires login) and disable account creation by non sysops. This was intentionally tight to keep out spam until I had more time to finish setting up the server and the website.

Today, presumably after posting this sites url on #catalyst, I got this comment about someone wanting to help but didn’t want to be bother with waiting on me to create a login. Fair enough.

Not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I’ve changed the wiki configuration. Anyone can now create account and edit wiki content. Anonymous editing is still forbidden. IF things get out of hand, I’ll probably reverse this decision.
