> Great - thanks for the links and mini howto. Bummer there's no emacs :(. There is Xemacs and Qemacs out there (https://bitbucket.org/haikuports/haikuports/src under the app-editors section), but giving a tutorial on Haikuporter usage to result in a working binary would probably make you entirely lose interest in looking into this. ;) Essentially you can get it built/installed, but there aren't official packages in our repositories yet. Pe (short for Program Editor) will likely be good enough to get things done, assuming your keyboard layout isn't too exotic. I use Dvorak, and basically all of the shortcuts are wrong, due to the way the keybindings are done. It's on one of our todo lists to fix that one day... A few more things that could cause you headaches if I don't tell you ahead of time... 1.) In Haiku, the present working directory is the first location searched for in the path. In other words, if you build Fossil and type `fossil` in that directory, it will run that Fossil, not one you may have installed elsewhere. This was a "feature" inherited by BeOS, but it will throw you off if you are used to pretty much any sort of Linux system. 2.) Operations like copy/paste/cut are done differently in Haiku. In Haiku, Alt is used instead of Ctrl in typical instances you would expect. So to copy, for instance, you type, Alt-C. I actually prefer this behavior since copy/pasting in the terminal is less keystrokes, and I can still use Ctrl-C/Z to kill things in the terminal. Anyway, if you aren't used to it, it will bug you initially. You can change the behavior in under the Leaf menu under Preferences -> Keymap -> File -> Set Modifier Keys. >> I could provide you a custom image too that is more complete, but I >> might not get around to that today.

Okay, I can probably email you a link to a custom image after I build it later tonight. I will try to include everything you need, but I'm not sure it's as trivial to do that after the package management merge. I think I can do it though. I'll also provide some extra hard disk space, since the VMDK images often don't leave much spare room. I suppose I can convert to a VDI too, and even maybe have Fossil already up and running for you, but I would have to try to be sure that's easily possible. I always run my OS's on bare metal on different partitions, so I admit I don't mess with VirtualBox much. Maybe if you're really lucky though, you may find some form of Emacs on the image too. :) Thanks again, and have a great night. - joe _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
