Hello everyone, thanks for the information Dave. I also agree that we should not waste development efforts and time to maintain three independent C++ APIs. I'd like to state shortly what the intention behind my approach was:
I tried to create a as thin as possible wrapper above the original Redland library, not having any additional dependencies. In this regard my approach clearly differs from Sebastians/Soprano -- which is in my honest opinion a really great piece of work and I'd love to use it. I just could'nt tie my other project to any of the great Desktop C++ APIs, since it is basically not Desktop related. Now some facts. I've been developing the API for over a year now and it covers wide ranges of the Redland C API. It is in active use and development. There are very little known bugs right now and no memory leaks known. I'm currently working on a string class to support working with the Redland unsigned char* arrays compatible to std::string. I see the situation like this: Soprano offers much more features like a client/server based infrastructure, multi RDF backend support and so on. My project puts a thin layer on top of Redland to enable comfortable and efficient programming with Redland only. As far as I have seen the redlandmm project comes closest to redland-cpp, but is not as complete. Please correct my if I'm wrong! I invite everyone interested, especially Dave Robillard to talk with me about how we could join forces! I'd love to see the project being used somewhere else and I'm open to any comments and development efforts! :) Yours, Sebastian On Wed, 2 Apr 2008 07:52:57 +0200 Dave Beckett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://dev.drobilla.net/index.fcgi/browser/redlandmm > by Dave Robillard from 'Raul' > last commit 4 weeks ago > License: GPLv2 or later > > http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/soprano/backends/redland/ > by Sebastian Trueg > last commit 11 days ago > License: GPLv2 / LGPLv2 or later ?? > > http://redland-cpp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redland-cpp/trunk/ > by Sebastian Faubel > last commit 3 weeks ago > License: LGPL v2 or later > > > Open source/free software is great and all, but you guys > should really talk... > > Dave _______________________________________________ redland-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.librdf.org/mailman/listinfo/redland-dev
