kados around? |
| 14:17 |
|
kados |
owen: am now |
| 14:21 |
|
hdl |
hi kados. |
| 14:21 |
|
kados |
hey hdl |
| 14:21 |
|
hdl |
how are you ? |
| 14:21 |
|
kados |
hdl: I am warming to the idea of a DVS like git |
| 14:22 |
|
hdl |
Did you try to install git ? |
| 14:22 |
|
kados |
I can't find a debian package :-) |
| 14:22 |
|
kados |
hw about you? |
| 14:22 |
|
kados |
(I was about to try it now) |

I'm trying to figure out why the ISBN isn't coming through correctly to show the Amazon book cover |
| 14:25 |
|
hdl |
I did. |
| 14:25 |
|
hdl |
But had not time to play with it. |
| 14:26 |
|
hdl |
+ cannot find gitweb interface. |
| 14:26 |
|
hdl |
It could be interesting. |
| 14:27 |
|
hdl |
But it would be still good to have a central common source |
| 14:27 |
|
hdl |
That we could refer to in case of crashes + major failures. |
| 14:28 |
|
hdl |
ReleaseManager-based solution would not be good. |
| 14:28 |
|
kados |
owen: I'll take a look |

hey all, I'm trying to commit all the stuff I've been modifying since savannah went down. When I try to commit my new moremember.tmpl I get this message: |
| 14:39 |
|
kyle |
cvs [commit aborted]: could not find desired version 1.1.2.1.2.10 in /sources/koha/koha/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/ccfls/en/members/Attic/moremember.tmpl,v |
| 14:39 |
|
kyle |
any idea what's going on? |
| 14:40 |
|
kados |
kyle: did you see my latest email about Savannah? |
| 14:41 |
|
kados |
kyle: you will need to check out a fresh copy and merge the changes into that fresh copy |
| 14:41 |
|
tumer |
kyle:see irc logs about 12 hours ago, kados managed it |
| 14:41 |
|
kados |
then commit it |
| 14:41 |
|
kados |
I know it's a real pain |
| 14:41 |
|
kados |
sorry :/ |
| 14:42 |
|
kyle |
Hey, no big deal. |
| 14:42 |
|
kyle |
thanks for the info |
| 14:42 |
|
kados |
np |
| 14:13 |
|
kyle |
Any opinion on what we should do when it comes to version control? |
| 14:15 |
|
kados |
I'm leaning towards a DVS personally |
| 14:15 |
|
kados |
I'm in the process of evaluating git |
| 14:15 |
|
kados |
I'll report back to koha-devel soon |
| 14:15 |
|
kyle |
git is used for the linux kernel, right? |
| 14:15 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 14:16 |
|
hdl |
Maybe storing the code in SouthAfrica, India, Uruguay or Brazil would be less one |
| 14:16 |
|
hdl |
Sory |
| 14:16 |
|
kyle |
cool, I await your results. |
| 14:19 |
|
hdl |
git seems to allow ppl to import from cvs quite easily. |
| 14:19 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 14:19 |
|
kyle |
yes, and I see that it has cvs compatibility, as mentioned on the devel list |
| 14:19 |
|
hdl |
And export 1 commit from git to cvs is easy too. |
| 14:20 |
|
hdl |
+ full come and go with svn |
| 14:20 |
|
kyle |
however, it seems to look at files like subversion does, rather than cvs |
| 14:20 |
|
kyle |
It only cares about the state of the entire branch, rather than having versions for individual files. |
| 14:24 |
|
kados |
kyle: *nod* |
| 14:24 |
|
kados |
kyle: any feelings on that difference? |
| 14:25 |
|
kyle |
Personally, I a slightly prefer the Subversion style, but in the end, there is very little difference. I'm using subversion for koha-tools. |
| 14:27 |
|
kyle |
So, instead of thinking "I need to revert prog.pl to version 1.2.000.3", I think "I need to revert prog.pl to the version from revision 181" |
| 14:28 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 14:29 |
|
kyle |
In a way it is much better because I can know that revision 180 was completely stable, and can revert the whole tree to 180 if I'm having serious issues with revision 181. I don't have to think about which files I need to roll back. |
| 14:29 |
|
kyle |
kados, have you used subversion on any projects? |
| 14:29 |
|
kados |
yep, we use svn inhouse at LL |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
it's a huge improvement over CVS |
| 14:30 |
|
kyle |
I have to agree with that, kados++ |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
the real question I'm struggling with atm is whether we as a community have the resources to handle the DVS overhead |
| 14:30 |
|
kados |
of something like git |
| 14:30 |
|
kyle |
can you explain? |
| 14:33 |
|
kados |
the overhead? I'm still trying to work it out in practical terms :-) |
| 14:34 |
|
kyle |
do you mean overhead in manpower? |
| 14:34 |
|
kados |
but basically we'd be relying on the RM to do all the merges |
| 14:34 |
|
rch |
<blogquote> |
| 14:34 |
|
kados |
into the official release |
| 14:34 |
|
rch |
In short, one could say that Arch is centralized around a code integrator, and that Subversion (like CVS) is centralized around a repository. |
| 14:34 |
|
rch |
</blogquote> |
| 14:34 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 14:34 |
|
kados |
s/ARch/git/ |
| 14:34 |
|
kados |
same model |
| 14:35 |
|
kyle |
it definitely looks like we would need someone full-time just managing commits from the way I read Jerry Van Baren's post to koha-devel |
| 14:35 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 14:36 |
|
kados |
kyle: I'd be curious to see his reaction if you posted that as a reply :-) |
| 14:37 |
|
kyle |
do you think he would disagree? |
| 14:37 |
|
kados |
honestly I dunno |
| 14:37 |
|
kados |
but I'm curious to see |
| 14:37 |
|
kados |
how he things that would work |
| 14:37 |
|
kados |
thinks even |
| 14:37 |
|
kados |
ultimately, we're a growing community |
| 14:37 |
|
kyle |
I will, it just seems like it would require more work from *everyone* |
| 14:38 |
|
kados |
and eventually we're gonna have to have full-time repository maintainers |
| 14:38 |
|
kados |
I'm just not certain we're there yet |
| 14:38 |
|
kados |
though I'm interested in the idea |
| 14:38 |
|
kados |
paul: hi |
| 14:38 |
|
paul |
we are not here yet ;-) |
| 14:38 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 14:38 |
|
kados |
there are two issues at stake here as well: |
| 14:39 |
|
kados |
1. which VCS we use |
| 14:39 |
|
kados |
2. how we are coordinating as programmers on the same project |
| 14:39 |
|
kados |
I think #2 is more important |
| 14:39 |
|
kyle |
I agree, I don't think we are quite there yet, my opinion is switching to git would cost the community tons of development time that would have to be used for managing the git repository. |
| 14:39 |
|
paul |
kyle: ++ |
| 14:40 |
|
paul |
and the community is really small... |
| 14:40 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 14:40 |
|
kyle |
thanks. You can also quote me as being pro-subversion. |
| 14:40 |
|

LibLime + me/hdl mainly, with SAN-OP & ccfls |

|
paul_we |
I've read Jerry VB mail. sounds very interesting but ... really unaffordable for us... |
| 14:46 |
|
paul_we |
bye & read you on monday |
| 14:46 |
|
kados |
slef: so I'd like to have a frank talk about resources with you if you have a moment |
| 14:46 |
|
kados |
slef: basically, what paul just said |
| 14:46 |
|
slef |
kados: does this have to be logged? |
| 14:46 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 14:48 |
|
owen |
Authorised? |
| 14:49 |
|
slef |
diff sort of resources, I think... no worries about discussing this in-channel |
| 14:49 |
|
slef |
sorry, I misunderstood |
| 14:49 |
|
kados |
so Jerry's post is prime example of my fear |
| 14:49 |
|
kados |
do we have the resources for all that extra overhead? |
| 14:49 |
|
slef |
I think that's a "it would be good to do ..." rather than "we must do ..." |
| 14:50 |
|
slef |
owen: I thought kados was touching me for money |
| 14:51 |
|
kyle |
it's also something we can do later, it seems that switching from CVS to Subversion to Git is not very hard. |
| 14:51 |
|
slef |
the git (scm) tool on debian is called git-core |
| 14:51 |
|
slef |
kyle: apart from having to replace all cvs-using tools with svn ones, you mean? |
| 14:52 |
|
kados |
slef: well that's quite simple |
| 14:52 |
|
kados |
slef: all you ned to do is s/cvs/svn/ for almost every command |
| 14:52 |
|
kados |
most of us use command line anyway |
| 14:52 |
|
kados |
IMO, we should minimally move to SVN |
| 14:52 |
|
slef |
No-one else uses an IDE? |
| 14:52 |
|
kyle |
yes, I meant the vcs itself. I would say that many cvs tools have nearly identical svc equivilents. |
| 14:52 |
|
kados |
we've outgrown CVS |
| 14:52 |
|
rch |
how about svk? |
| 14:53 |
|
rch |
best of both worlds? |
| 14:53 |
|
kados |
the real question on the table is whether we should go with a DVS |
| 14:53 |
|
slef |
rch: or worst of both? |
| 14:53 |
|
rch |
slef: right :) |
| 14:54 |
|
slef |
I'd expect there to be an Emacs plugin, but I've not got it (because I've been avoiding svn) |
| 14:54 |
|
slef |
I doubt there's wily tools for it. |
| 14:54 |
|
owen |
kyle: joe? |
| 14:54 |
|
kados |
kyle: for committing too? |
| 14:55 |
|
kados |
slef: the real question on the table is whether we should go with a DVS |
| 14:55 |
|
dewey |
i already had it that way, kados. |
| 14:55 |
|
kyle |
no, I was taught on joe, but I use it for *all* text editing. |
| 14:55 |
|
kados |
slef: so you're the primary advocate of a DVS ... can you confirm/deny the fear that we'll lose time with increased overhead? |
| 14:55 |
|
slef |
dewey: you're a nut. |
| 14:55 |
|
dewey |
slef: i'm not following you... |
| 14:56 |
|
slef |
kados: over CVS, we'll gain time. Over SVN, I don't know (insufficient data). |
| 14:57 |
|
kados |
slef: we may need a very well defined method for development to convince us that we won't lose time |
| 14:57 |
|
kados |
ie, spell it out, how will this thing work |
| 14:57 |
|
slef |
kados: to me, bottom line is that we should be able to keep the CVS running in parallel in git fairly easily, and possibly with other DVS. Anyone know about SVN+CVS in parallel? |
| 14:57 |
|
kados |
some real world examples, etc. |
| 14:57 |
|
kados |
sure, so there can be a CVS plugin , that's cool |
| 14:58 |
|
kados |
but I assume we'll want to actually develop with git |
| 14:58 |
|
slef |
there's both git's cvsserver and it can pull from and feed to the current cvs server, AFAICT |
| 14:58 |
|
kados |
otherwise we may as well stick with cvs |
| 14:58 |
|
slef |
so people move when they're ready |
| 15:00 |
|
kados |
so what repo would they be committing to? |
| 15:00 |
|
slef |
up to us |
| 15:00 |
|
slef |
I'd recommend git if everyone's ready to move |
| 15:01 |
|
kados |
slef: I need a use case scenerio ... not just 'up to us' :-) |
| 15:01 |
|
slef |
I'm trying to set this up on koha.mirrors.ttllp.co.uk but it's not happening today |
| 15:01 |
|
slef |
(as in, I'm trying and it's breaking on me for silly reasons) |
| 15:02 |
|
slef |
I think I'd recommend that we start with a common 3.0 repo |
| 15:02 |
|
slef |
not require paul to merge everything and then kados to merge it into the release |
| 15:03 |
|
slef |
If we want tougher release engineering, we can change to that later. |
| 15:03 |
|
slef |
But one change at a time, eh? |
| 15:03 |
|
slef |
So everyone can push to the central repo and put their work into the release |
| 15:03 |
|
kados |
well why git over SVN? can't we switch to git when we're ready? |
| 15:03 |
|
kados |
(just asking) |
| 15:04 |
|
kados |
(ie, if theres no immediate benefit, I'd just rather stick with a more widely understood VS) |
| 15:05 |
|
slef |
1/ SVN's a lot bigger than CVS; 2/ switching has a cost and will you really go for it twice in a short time frame; 3/ I've never switched an SVN repo to git, so I don't know how well or not it works. |
| 15:05 |
|
kados |
ok, 2, 3 I grok |
| 15:05 |
|
slef |
The immediate benefit is disconnected development with local source control. |
| 15:05 |
|
kados |
1 ... define bigger? |
| 15:06 |
|
slef |
That's not a big benefit for the project, but it should be a big benefit for some developers |
| 15:06 |
|
slef |
like, when the master repo vanishes. |
| 15:06 |
|
kyle |
there does appear to be a git-svnimport program |
| 15:06 |
|
kados |
right |
| 15:06 |
|
slef |
kyle: yes. No git-svnserver yet, though? |
| 15:07 |
|
slef |
kyle: and I don't remember whether there's an svnexportcommit |
| 15:07 |
|
kyle |
I see. I understand now. If we switched from cvs to git, would could use the same cvs tools. But if we switched from cvs to svn to git, we'd have to use git tools or go back to cvs tools. |
| 15:08 |
|
kyle |
am I right? |
| 15:08 |
|
slef |
kados: 1. bigger... the libs and binaries are bigger and the repo is more complicated AIUI (=harder to rescue manually) |
| 15:08 |
|
slef |
kyle: Maybe. I simply don't know because I've not done a svn->git move. |
| 15:08 |
|
slef |
kyle: that's my worry, though. |
| 15:09 |
|
kados |
slef: ok, more questions :-) |
| 15:09 |
|
kyle |
slef: that is definitely and issue to think about. Are there plans for a get-svnserver? |
| 15:09 |
|
slef |
I've got to go for a bit. I should be online again around 2000z. |
| 15:09 |
|
kados |
slef: how much energy will it take to maintain the repo itself? permissions on push, etc.? |
| 15:09 |
|
slef |
kados: are they long ones? |
| 15:10 |
|
slef |
kyle: not as far as I know, but I've not looked recently. |
| 15:10 |
|
kados |
slef: sorry, I'm trying to comprehend everything here :-) |
| 15:10 |
|
kados |
slef: this is an important decision |
| 15:10 |
|
slef |
kados: I do very little maintenance. I'll give to koha whatever extra admin is required. |
| 15:10 |
|
kados |
slef: :-) |
| 15:10 |
|
slef |
kados: yes, understood. |
| 15:10 |
|
slef |
kados: I've been slacking, but I've now a very promising couple of koha projects again. |
| 15:11 |
|
kados |
ok |
| 15:11 |
|
kados |
lets set up git.koha.org |
| 15:11 |
|
slef |
(the customer for one of my koha projects went into liquidation a while ago... not a happy time) |
| 15:11 |
|
kados |
and do som tests |
| 15:12 |
|
kados |
slef: you have some bandwidth to help me out setting that up? |
| 15:12 |
|
slef |
kados: yes. Do I have time to get my mirror of CVS up first? |
| 15:12 |
|
kados |
sure |
| 15:13 |
|
slef |
How long will it take? #<undefined> sadly. |
| 15:13 |
|
kados |
just use my rsync command |
| 15:13 |
|
slef |
Right, I'd best go see to the person at the door before I get lynched. |
| 15:13 |
|
kados |
it took about 3 minutes |
| 15:14 |
|
slef |
see, evil and useful |
| 15:14 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 15:14 |
|
kados |
wouldn't it be easier to just set up a git repo with whatever's in cvs co -P koha ? |
| 15:14 |
|
slef |
I'll try to leave this client running (network permitting) |
| 15:14 |
|
slef |
kados: yes, but I want the change history |
| 15:14 |

kados |
ahh |

Git allows you to specify scripts called "hooks" to be run at certain points. You can use these, for example, to send all commits to the shared repository to a mailing list |

hello dewey, kados :) |

slef: so wanna walk me through the process here? |
| 17:35 |
|
slef |
kados: OK. Buy me a stable router? |
| 17:35 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 17:35 |
|
kados |
so I just got a rsync of koha repo |
| 17:35 |
|
slef |
kados: I've not set up a net-facing read/write repo for a while |
| 17:36 |
|
kados |
rsync -avzru cvs.savannah.nongnu.org::sources/koha/ ./ |
| 17:39 |
|
slef |
What do you want to do with it? |
| 17:40 |
|
kados |
I want to create a git repo now |
| 17:40 |
|
kados |
using git-cvsimport |
| 17:40 |
|
slef |
always a good start |
| 17:41 |
|
slef |
my other two main references are http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html and http://www.kernel.org/pub/soft[…]ocs/everyday.html |
| 17:43 |
|
slef |
IIRC how one starts this: you make an empty dir, cd into it, git init, then do the git cvsimport with various options from the man page |
| 17:46 |
|
kados |
i find it annoying that while I can find git-cvsimport documentation I cant' find a package or source for it |
| 17:53 |
|
slef |
git-cvs in debian I think |
| 17:53 |
|
kados |
yay |
| 17:53 |
|
slef |
and that should install cvsps |
| 17:54 |
|
kados |
any real advantage for us of running a version later than 1.4.4 which ships with etch? |
| 17:54 |
|
slef |
I know the git packages moderately well because of the git vs git-core thing. |
| 17:54 |
|
kados |
yea, that threw me :-) |
| 17:55 |
|
slef |
I doubt it, as if there was a serious problem, the new one would have been allowed in through the freeze |
| 17:55 |
|
kados |
k |
| 17:57 |
|
kados |
git-cvsimport -o HEAD -d koha_repo -C koha-git |
| 17:57 |
|
kados |
giving me a Usage report :-) |
| 17:57 |
|
kados |
sigh |
| 17:57 |
|
slef |
koha_repo should be :local:... or similar |
| 17:57 |

|
kados |
git-cvsimport -d:ext:kados cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/koha -C koha-git |

|
kados |
still reports usage |
| 18:01 |
|
slef |
have you cd'd into the git dir? |
| 18:02 |
|
slef |
do so and don't give the -C |
| 18:02 |
|
kados |
nope |
| 18:02 |
|
kados |
ok |
| 18:02 |
|
kados |
same deal |
| 18:02 |
|
kados |
just prints Usage |
| 18:03 |
|
slef |
-v it? |
| 18:03 |
|
slef |
add -v even |
| 18:03 |
|
kados |
same deal |
| 18:07 |

hehe |
| 18:07 |
|
kados |
looks like pubkey probs |
| 18:09 |
|
slef |
damn, got to go out... want to figure out why this won't work on a clean copy |
| 18:12 |
|
slef |
bah... commit a dummy file (touch this_is_git && git add this_is_git && git commit -m init) and then run git cvsimport -d :ext:slefcvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/koha -o master . |
| 18:12 |

slef |
biab |
| 18:21 |

slef: git-cvsimport -d :ext:kadoscvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/koha -o master . |
| 19:27 |
|
slef |
love this network |
| 19:29 |
|
slef |
so before I left, I got the cvsimport command wrong :) I need to write this down and step through it myself |
| 19:32 |
|
kados |
k |
| 19:32 |
|
kados |
this what I tried unsuccessfully: |
| 19:32 |
|
kados |
git-cvsimport -d :ext:kadoscvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/koha -o master . |
| 19:33 |
|
slef |
what's in your current working dir and how does it fail? |
| 19:34 |
|
kados |
it just hangs |
| 19:34 |
|
kados |
my cwd is koha-git |
| 19:34 |
|
kados |
which is empty |
| 19:34 |
|
kados |
I let it run for about an hour |
| 19:35 |
|
kados |
nothing happened |
| 19:35 |
|
slef |
odd |
| 19:35 |
|
slef |
add a -v and see what it's calling? |
| 19:36 |
|
kados |

Either use the correct '-o branch' option, |

|
kados |
or import to a new repository. |
| 19:36 |
|
kados |
tried MAIN and HEAD |

hmmm |

erm - do you have a gecos field set in your system user database? |
| 19:38 |
|
slef |
(usually /etc/passwd) |
| 19:38 |
|
kados |
I've no idea what that means |
| 19:39 |
|
slef |
the gecos field contains info about the user |
| 19:39 |
|
slef |
man 5 passwd |
| 19:39 |
|
slef |
I think you can set it with chfn |
| 19:39 |
|
kados |
phone .. sec |
| 19:40 |
|
slef |
ok... command to run is: chfn |
| 19:40 |
|
slef |
might need to as root: chfn jmf |
| 19:40 |
|
slef |
as in: if you type "finger jmf" does it show your name? |
| 19:51 |
|
slef |
once the above commit and branch is done, then the import command seems to be: |
| 19:51 |
|
slef |
git-cvsimport -d:ext:slefcvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/koha -v koha |
| 19:55 |
|
slef |
this is actually a bit mean to the remote server AFAICT |
| 19:55 |
|
slef |
maybe should wait until I get my copy online and then clone it? |
| 19:56 |
|
slef |
biab |

sorry, got a phone call |

this may take a while |

:-) |
| 20:47 |
|
kados |
hey thd__ |
| 21:06 |
|
slef |
kados: which VPS? |
| 21:06 |
|
kados |
dunno |
| 21:07 |
|
slef |
heh |
| 21:07 |
|
slef |
more likely, whoever added your account didn't fill in all the info |
| 21:07 |
|
slef |
sadly common and can be a PITA if the sysadmin needs to phone you |
| 21:07 |
|
kados |
that woudl be me |
| 21:07 |
|
kados |
I hate filling in that info |
| 21:07 |
|
kados |
and this is the first time it's mattered :-) |
| 21:08 |
|
slef |
oh well... if it's a private server, often doesn't matter |
| 21:08 |
|
kados |
anyway, I hopped over to #git on irc.gnu.org |
| 21:08 |
|
slef |
I think reportbug and some debian email tools will sulk |
| 21:08 |
|
kados |
and they say we should upgrade to 1.5 |
| 21:08 |
|
slef |
any showstopper? |
| 21:08 |
|
kados |
naw, it's just 'better' :-) |
| 21:08 |
|
kados |
http://www.kernel.org/pub/soft[…]elNotes-1.5.0.txt |
| 21:09 |
|
slef |
cool... I'll be back in 15 |
| 21:09 |
|
slef |
then I should be about for 40 or 50 |
| 21:09 |
|
slef |
then it's too late and I'll be asleep ;-) |
| 21:09 |
|
kados |
the tutorials unfortunately don't work with 1.5 |
| 21:09 |
|
kados |
I mean 1.4 |
| 21:10 |
|
slef |
can 1.4 and 1.5 use the same repos? |
| 21:10 |
|
kados |
think so |
| 21:10 |
|
kados |
As of git v1.5.0 there are some optional features that changes |
| 21:10 |
|
kados |
the repository to allow data to be stored and transferred more |
| 21:10 |
|
kados |
efficiently. These features are not enabled by default, as they |
| 21:10 |
|
kados |
will make the repository unusable with older versions of git. |
| 21:10 |
|
kados |
Specifically, the available options are: |
| 21:10 |
|
kados |
<snip> |
| 21:11 |
|
slef |
cool |
| 21:11 |
|
slef |
is there a dsc for 1.5, have you found? |
| 21:12 |
|
kados |
dsc? |
| 21:12 |
|
slef |
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/p[…]ore_1.5.0.3-1.dsc |
| 21:12 |
|
kados |
ahh, yea |
| 21:12 |
|
kados |
it's in unstable |
| 21:12 |
|
slef |
time to stress the mipsel again |
| 21:12 |
|
slef |
as that runs sarge |
| 21:13 |
|
kados |
speaking of dscs, what ever became of the one for Koha? |

kados: need the web and sysadmin install split, really |
| 21:13 |
|
kados |
it is in 3.0 |
| 21:13 |
|
kados |
have you seen the new web installer? |
| 21:13 |
|
slef |
an early version |
| 21:13 |
|
kados |
it's still kinda early IMO, but it works |
| 21:14 |
|
slef |
right biab |
| 21:14 |
|
kados |
k |
| 21:25 |
|
kados |
ok, upgraded to 1.5.0.3 |
| 21:25 |
|
kados |
and starting over with the git-cvsimport |
| 21:29 |
|
slef |
there's a 1.5.0.4 but it's not debianised |
| 21:29 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 21:29 |
|
slef |
reportbug git-core with severity wishlist, asking for the new version, if you have time |
| 21:30 |
|
slef |
it'll be about 17 days before my dev system is in a state for that :-D |
| 21:31 |
|
kados |
the cvsimport process looks like it's gonna take a while |
| 21:31 |
|
slef |
actually |
| 21:31 |
|
kados |
and the guys on #git dont think it's any faster if you use :local: |
| 21:31 |
|
slef |
try pointing it at :local:/your/mirror |
| 21:32 |
|
kados |
see above ^^ |
| 21:32 |
|
kados |
:-) |
| 21:32 |
|
slef |
wow, really? should be a bit quicker than hammering a server that everyone else is hammering, trying to repair their repos ;-) |
| 21:32 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 21:32 |
|
kados |
we could race ... |
| 21:33 |
|
kados |
I've got a head start though |
| 21:33 |
|
kados |
so say we build this thing |
| 21:33 |
|
kados |
well hang on |
| 21:33 |
|
kados |
say I build one and you build one |
| 21:33 |
|
kados |
can they interoperate? :-) |
| 21:33 |
|
kados |
or does one need to be a parent of the other? |
| 21:34 |
|
slef |
interesting question... I think it's simpler if one is started from the other |
| 21:35 |
|
slef |
if they both come from cvs (so the origin branch will be the same), I'd expect them to interop... |
| 21:38 |
|
slef |
kyle: message for you when you return: it is possible to revert one file. If nothing else, you could feed the output of a git diff command back to patch, but I expect there's a better way. |
| 21:40 |
|
kados |
slef: I suspect all of us in the koha-devel could use some refresher courses on being efficient diff and patch ers |
| 21:40 |
|
kados |
slef: I know I hardly every use those tools |
| 21:41 |
|
slef |
kados: I used to have a good Larry Wall (I think) doc bookmarked |
| 21:41 |
|
slef |
I'll see if I can find it and mail it to koha-devel |
| 21:41 |
|
kados |
woot |
| 21:41 |
|
slef |
I also really like the emacs diff modes, but they won't be to everyone's taste |
| 21:41 |
|
kados |
yea, I'm a vim guy muself |
| 21:42 |
|
slef |
I think I heard vimdiff can do merges. |
| 21:42 |
|
slef |
I think I prefer ed to vi. Am I ill? |
| 21:43 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 21:43 |
|
slef |
I think my editor prefs are roughly: wily or emacs > jed > ed > vi > nano |
| 21:43 |
|
kados |
yea, I just only have ever used vi since I started on linux |
| 21:43 |
|
slef |
with joe in amongst them, depending on what it's emulating |
| 21:43 |
|
kados |
I tried emacs for couple of days |
| 21:44 |
|
kados |
but culdn't get used to the key bindings |
| 21:44 |
|
slef |
so use the menus until you do |
| 21:44 |
|
kados |
*shrug* |
| 21:44 |
|
kados |
no real incentive |
| 21:44 |
|
slef |
emacs does reward the time on the tutorial... it probably also helps if you're a lisp fam |
| 21:44 |
|
slef |
fan |
| 21:45 |
|
kados |
I've got so much muscle memory invested in vi, no sense switching :-) |
| 21:45 |
|
slef |
but there's something loveable about a text editor that can run your instant messenger and your spreadsheet |
| 21:45 |
|
kados |
it's like switching from qwerty |
| 21:45 |
|
slef |
to dvorak? |
| 21:46 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 21:47 |
|
thd |
slef: if it can run your everything does it not mean that it is doing too much to be best at what is most important? |
| 21:48 |
|
kados |
hey thd |
| 21:48 |
|
kados |
thd: how's it going? |
| 21:48 |
|
slef |
thd: heh, maybe that's why I use wily for straight graphical editing. |
| 21:49 |
|
thd |
hello I back in from the storm |
| 21:50 |
|
slef |
it's windying up here but not too bad... what windspeeds there? |
| 21:50 |
|
thd |
kados: whit can be done to correct vi like behaviour of the backspace key in the OS X terminal? |
| 21:51 |
|
thd |
s/whit/what/ |
| 21:51 |
|
kados |
hmmm |
| 21:51 |
|
kados |
yea, I can't remmeber |
| 21:51 |
|
kados |
lemme see if there's something in my .screenrc |
| 21:51 |
|
slef |
something like setterm backspace? |
| 21:51 |
|
thd |
kados: it deletes to the right of the cursor not the left |
| 21:51 |
|
kados |
yea, I know |
| 21:51 |
|
slef |
thd: tried ctrl-h? |
| 21:52 |
|
kados |
thd: nothing in .screenrc |
| 21:52 |
|
kados |
thd: I suspect if you start screen it will go away |
| 21:52 |
|
kados |
thd: or what slef said, i dunno |
| 21:53 |
|
thd |
my friend is back from Columbia so I ma not using that machine anymore |
| 21:53 |
|
thd |
kados: it did go away in screen maybe , it went away somewhere |
| 22:17 |
|
thd |
slef: are you still up? |
| 22:22 |

thd: no ;) |
