- Narval
- I've finally managed to setup a way of posting a daily snapshot of Narval's cvs on the ftp server. I had to use a ssh key with no passphrase to do this, but I don't think it iqs too bad, because this key is only authorised on the ftp server from machine inside the firewall. If anyone knows of a better way to do this, I'll be glad to hear of it.
- xmldiff
- When changes creep in that kill performance... We spent some time figuring out why xmldiff had slowed dow considerably. It turned out that a loop to find the index of a tuple in a list had been replaced by a call to the index() method of the list. This method uses == to compare elements whereas the original loop used is, which in our case is about 100 times faster.
