Rizin Plugin and snippets hub

[XVilka]

A simple page built on top of the rz-pm database allowing to navigate through the packages, maybe show description and dependencies for every package, along with versions and links.

Something of likes

• Hackage
• Opam
• etc

[wargio]

actually i think that can be useful also a zignature repo with known stuff.

[dracry0]

Is the issue still open?

[ret2libc]

It is.

[yas8say]

is it still open?

[wargio]

yes, it is, this could be generated as a static website from the rz-pm database. (we could have this under packages.rizin.re)

[yas8say]

yes, it is, this could be generated as a static website from the rz-pm database. (we could have this under packages.rizin.re)

can you assign me this please?

[wargio]

no need, just work on it.

[yas8say]

okay.

[yas8say]

no need, just work on it.

Quick question: Where will you host the packages on a server or just redirect to the github page ? eg: https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin-extras/releases/tag/v0.6.0

[wargio]

just redirect the page like we do for the book.rizin.re

[yas8say]

okay. thanks :)

[yas8say]

@wargio

These are the only packages/plugins?

[wargio]

each one is a plugin that can be installed. you can see each plugin as a package.

[yas8say]

got it

[yas8say]

@wargio i am using hugo if you dont like the theme i can change it

[wargio]

i'm ok with that as long as is statically generated

[wargio]

@XVilka

[yas8say]

These things have to be updated when a package is updated: Name, Downloads, Rating, Description, Tags, Last U/L, Reference Version, Maintainers.

@wargio How can we do it w/o a db?

[wargio]

usually we update them via tag on the package itself. we could just generate a json struct for this each time we push a change on the db repo.

[XVilka]

Yes, I recommend sticking with JSON for now, since initially the size of the "database" will not be big. After all, changing the storage backend should be easy once the need arises.

[yas8say]

okay ..@wargio https://rizin.netlify.app how's this theme?

[wargio]

looks good! maybe don't add such big title.

[yas8say]

@XVilka @wargio Can you visit the website please and let me know what features/elements should i add or remove?

[wargio]

i would prefer if it had a simple search like this https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages because it looks like more a blog rather than a packages search page.

[XVilka]

Agree, it should have a table, like in Hackage and Opam, with short description, latest version, date, link to the repository and search.

[yas8say]

@XVilka @wargio i'll work on it. thanks

[yas8say]

@wargio https://rizin.netlify.app/packages/ like this?

[wargio]

yes, so much better.

[yas8say]

@wargio @XVilka can we automate this: change json to hugo's md format and push it to the git?

[wargio]

You can fork and make a PR to show these changes, because i'm not sure on what you are referring to.

[yas8say]

@XVilka @wargio guys all the packages are bundled in https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin-extras.git should we separate them for clarity? I can do it.
Also what should i put in maintainers column?

[wargio]

no need to change extras. just use the db repository. over time we will add new plugins.

[yas8say]

@wargio So can you review and let me know if there are any changes to be made rizin.netlify.app or are there any other projects you would like me to work on?

[yas8say]

@wargio I've added the button and ref link to packages.rizin.re

What should i do next?

[XVilka]

@wargio So can you review and let me know if there are any changes to be made rizin.netlify.app or are there any other projects you would like me to work on?

There is a lot of empty and unused space in the page top. I recommend reducing/removing it.
Also, align the "Search" field.

[yas8say]

@XVilka Done. Also made a few changes
Is it ready to deply to packages.rizin.re ?

[yas8say]

@wargio i've made the PR rizinorg/website#67. Only thing is to deploy

[wargio]

tomorrow i will try to add packages.rizin.re pointing to github

[yas8say]

@wargio shoud i just point to rizin.netlify.app instead of packages.rizin.re? . Seems more easier for now (temporarily)

[wargio]

no, we need to build the webiste using the github CI. see how we do this for the main website.

[yas8say]

@wargio You need to make a new empty repo for the website so i can fork and then do PR

[wargio]

can't we use the db repo on a new branch?

[yas8say]

Okay that will do.

[yas8say]

@wargio made PR. Also create an dev branch i have to edit the target to dev from master or if you want i can keep the master branch as target

[wargio]

I will do everything this weekend. Sorry for the delay

[yas8say]

I will do everything this weekend. Sorry for the delay
