giomm in svn

[Marko Anastasov <marko marko anastasov name>]

Hi,

Just to let you know that I imported the skeleton source of
giomm in GNOME SVN. The module can be checked out with:

svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnomemm/giomm/trunk giomm

giomm will wrap gio-standalone [1], a library that is still
under development, yet "close to a final form" [2]. It is
a GObject-based, architecture-independent library for file
i/o that is targeted for inclusion in glib. It will replace
gnome-vfs with a saner API and some additional features.
For an overview, see the author's GUADEC presentation slides [3].

Like gio-standalone [4], giomm will be a separate library for
a while and eventually be merged in glibmm.

///

On the cosmetical side, the library namespace at the momemnt
is Gio. It would be best for it to be Glib, as it will be later,
and I tried a bit today to try to modify generate_wrap_init.pl
to somehow allow just wrap_init() to be in Gio, and all the rest
in Glib, but couldn't make it. Perhaps I'll try something else
again later.
