And bring back EOF for Cocoa. . . .
EOF ObjC/Cocoa is number one on my list. What a crying shame it's
gone.
How hard would it be to reverse-engineer EOF? I only looked at it
briefly
when it first came out. Does anyone have the original documentation?
I Started to make my own from the specification, but changed it from
EO
prefix to PO for persistence as it seems when people associate apple
and enterprise they seem to shudder and run for the hills. I have not
done much on it lately due to work commitments and other pet projects,
but I have done approx 25 percent of the frameworks, and 63 percent of
a modeller application. I hope to get around to completing it in the
new year - (only 8 weeks away).
I too (one of the many) have a half-written persistence layer laying
around on my hard drive. I started writing it for a project that got
canned but absolutely couldn't have GPL code (thus negating the
possibility of using the GNUStep db-library). The _really_ stupid
thing about this is that one of the intended targets for the app was
GNUStep...
I'd suggest if people need EOF (and they do!), spending a bit of time
on the GNUStep stuff.
This subject has been discussed many times here: The problem with the
GnuStep "EOF" is, that Apple has some patents on EOF. So GnuStep DB is
stuck on version 2 of EOF.
If I remember well, the patent concerns the key-value coding.
I even heard, that internally, they already have a GnuStep EOF version
3.
