Announcing Ubic
Ubic is a toolkit for describing services on Linux in perl. It's been implemented in-house at Yandex as a better way to run daemons than writing ugly SysV-style /etc/init.d scripts, and i've put it on github and CPAN recently.
I also gave a lightning talk about it at YAPC::Russia::2010 in Kiev several days ago, it should explain most of its traits:
So... any feedback? :)
PS: Several Ubic::Service::* modules are not in public domain yet - i'll have to do some cleanup first, hopefully in next week or two.
I wrote Ubic. I worked at Yandex for many years, and now i'm building my own startup questhub.io (formerly PlayPerl). I'm also working on Flux, streaming data processing framework.
CPAN ID: MMCLERIC.
Seem cool, maybe I will try it on my new demo site. Thanks for sharing, John Napiorkowski
You know, if you actually care to get people interested and using this thing you should maybe publish your talk notes, instead of the rather cryptic slides.
My talk was in Russian, so it would be more cryptic, sorry :)
You can check out PODs by now, i tried to keep them detailed enough, but probably it's not clear where to start.
I'm definitely going to write Ubic::Intro or Ubic::Manual POD soon.
Ah, thanks for explaining, that makes sense. :)
Also, good to hear you have plans for documentation. It's always nice to see that it is one of the foremost things in a developer's mind.
