Ruby and RRDTool

Does anyone have a ruby library or whatever that makes it easy to use RRDTool?

I checked the RAA but the link is bad - just one reason I much prefer a software repository (like ibiblio.org) over a “URL link farm” (like freshmeat.net). If the RAA had its own software repository the RRDTool script would still be there, no matter what happened to the original author and software…

What about setting up one? :slight_smile:

Kind regards,

I’m sorry I can’t answer your question, but I have some of my own
(consider this an informal poll):

What keeps people from putting their stuff in RubyForge?

Is it overkill for LOC < 10 stuff?

Are people self-concious about seems-too-alpha code?

What would be the logistical|moral|technical issues with having a Ruby
code snapshot/time-machine archive, something that would store a copy of
any and all Ruby code so that there would always be a copy of it available?

There’s always RubyForge:

I haven’t gotten anything appropriate nearly finished. (You did say poll.)

Both of the above :slight_smile: I’ve taken to putting small fragments of code on
the wiki instead.

Currently this wouldn’t be too difficult:

[root@rubyforge cvs]# du -skH /var/cvs
72MB /var/cvs
[root@rubyforge cvs]#

And that’s before compression. We could burn a CD of it no problem…
