LinDevDoc Got Tagging

Bluebear has improved LinDevDoc (original announcement) so that it can do tags now.

Addressing Lines in Plain Text Files

Jirka suggested a possibility to enhance YCP documentation with real-life code examples. For that, we'd need to point to numbered lines within the source code. I thought that ViewVC can do it but apparently not (maybe annotate has it, but it is broken at our site). But there is a new generic way: RFC 5147: URI Fragment Identifiers for the text/plain Media Type. Only none of the browsers seems to support it today...

This points to line 13, with the prototype of main:

Medoosa in OBS

Medoosa is a documentation tool for C++ that can produce UML class diagrams including generalizations and associations. Corrections can be made interactively in a diagram editor (Dia) and are fed back into the source as Javadoc-style comments. At this time, the layout must still be done by hand. Some code is already present to produce the layout with Graphviz.

I wrote it for my master's thesis at the Charles University back in 2001 and it has been since then quietly sitting at SourceForge. Today I have rebuilt it in the openSUSE Build Service: Medoosa, CcDoc-0.7a (required).
