Wink

Wink is a minimalists weblog engine written in Ruby using Rack, Sinatra, and DataMapper. See the project repository on GitHub for more information:

http://github.com/rtomayko/wink/

Status

A complete mess, at the moment. It will likely not run for you at all. The sources have been made available as-is for discussion purposes only. If you're mainly interested in running a blog, watch for a 1.0 release. If you're interested in hacking, stick around...

Requirements

Gems (need all their dependencies of course):

$ sudo gem install datamapper --version=0.2.5
$ sudo gem install do_mysql
$ sudo gem install sinatra BlueCloth rubypants html5 test-spec

To run the specs you also need SQLite3 and the SQLite3-adapter: $ sudo gem install do_sqlite3 --version=0.2.5

We are currently developing on MySQL and SQLite3. Other databases are theoretically easy to support but we're limiting to these for now to speed initial development.

Wink is developed primarily under MacOS X and tested on FreeBSD and a variety of GNU/Linux distributions.

Hacking

Project sources are stored in Git:

$ git clone git://github.com/rtomayko/wink.git

Create a new MySQL database:

$ mysql -u root
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wink_development CHARACTER SET = utf8;

Next, change into your local wink clone and copy the wink.conf.example to wink.conf; edit to taste, making sure the database related settings are adjusted appropriately.

Run the db:init task to create the initial table schema and then start a new development server:

$ rake db:init
$ ruby wink

The application should be available at: http://localhost:4567

Testing

Unit and functional tests are kept under the test directory. Before running tests, you will need to create a separate database:

$ mysql -u root
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wink_test CHARACTER SET = utf8;

Once the database has been created, use rake to run the test suite:

$ rake test
