fwiw, i think you've misconstrued the conventional silence. i've always
intended it as, "whew! We dodged that bullet again!"
Stephan…I’m new here. What do you mean by “dodged a bullet? Is fsl
something to be afraid of for any reason? I don’t want to waste my
time if
so. but I know I am going to write my own wrapper scripts. So I’m
genuinely interesting in anything that anyone else has done.
Let me back up and try to unmuddle the muddling i've done...
a) i'm _thrilled_ that Michael offers people a solution for this so that
they...
just for the record: `fsl' has been written by marc simpson (and he also
still hosts the `fsl' repo). so (nearly or completely) all of the core
functionality of `fsl' (as found on trunk) is due to him, I think. further
tweaks/modifications can be found in some branches (one maintained by
michael, another one by me...).
b) temporarily forget that fossil doesn't natively do it, until...
c) 4-6 months have passed and a newcomer, unaware of the fsl wrapper,
points out that fossil doesn't have this capability ;).
i personally have a strong allergy against platform-specific code
(because
i code for coding's sake, and having to coddle various platforms takes
the
fun out of it), and terminal output is one of those things which requires
platform-specific code. (Fossil has a good deal of code to ensure that
something as mundane as streaming console output behaves well in various
Windows environments.) But that's just my opinion, and those are very
often
in the minority, so please don't take any of them too seriously.
