ECL Builder tool - what happened?

Sun Mar 06, 2022 4:44 am

Hi,
What happened to this tool?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fes1RGmOjOk around time mark 1:22:20
It looked promising as a starting playground for non-technical people.

Google doesn't know about it.
The Github link referenced in the presentation is broken, and the repository seems to have disappeared.
It doesn't appear in any search on the HPCCSystems websites.

Does anybody know about it?
Thank you!

Ricardo,

You said the github link in the video was broken, but I just went to https://github.com/infosys-hpcc/eclbuilder and found a public repository. Can you get to that page?

I was able to download a ZIP file and unzip it, so although it appears not to be under active development, it is still there.

HTH,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I'm baffled yet happy.
Yes, I can access the repository now, using the URL you wrote.
So the odds are I made a typo. Also, now I search Github for "eclbuilder" (which I also did before asking the question, with zero results, and now it founds it just like that :shock:

)

Anyway, thank you very much for helping me get to it!!

Warm regards
Ricardo
