Subject: [oc] IMPORTANT new opencores web site
Hey Folks !It finally happened! OpenCores web site has a new look and feel. Check it
out, it is great ! http://www.opencores.org
Some features of the new site:
- modern&fresh look&feel
- much better organized (allows to more quickly find what you need)
- much easier to edit web content (login and then just click on the Edit
icon)
- content updated (some old content removed, non working links removed)
- project browsing/sorting upgraded, added download rating to projects
- cvs write access limited per project (maintainer gives access to its
projects to other developers, IMPORTANT please read
http://www.opencores.org/cvs.shtml because CVSROOT changed !)
Credits go to opencores web master. Miha if I forgot any of the new features
please add to the list. And all out there if you like or dislike some part
of the new site, please let us all know. Together we can make OpenCores
better !
Now it is time to start with more content and developer/user services
related upgrades of the site. First some new developer services will be
added and also obsolete projects will be removed. A second server will be
put on line that will make sure that the main web server doesn't get stuck
at night when some background jobs are running (particulary when several
downloads get started and tar/gzip are running in multiple processes causing
significant load on the current server - this hopefully will become thing of
the past).
New services for developers will be added. As first service I have the
pleasure to introduce Novas nLint tool to become part of the cvs commit
procedure. Whenever you will commit your VHDL or Verilog files into the cvs,
if enabled by your project settings, nLint will perform linting according to
OpenCores Coding Guidelines and send you an email with the report (report
emails will be configurable in your project's settings so don't worry). This
means much more uniform coding style accross different projects, less bugs,
more compatible projects with ASIC guidelines (that will be easier to
integrate into SoCs), better Q&A resulting in more users, more users more
credibility etc. For all those that haven't seen Novas nLint in action - I
promise you, you will not be disappointed ! (I expect the nLint to become
operational within a week or so, I have to write nLint rules file)
regards,
Damjan
