[repository.lp.se #104] Bug in ctwm-3.6

2005-02-20 Thread Peter Flystam via RT
Hi,

I've found what I think is a bug in the source distribution of
ctwm-3.6 that is available at

http://ctwm.free.lp.se/dist/ctwm-3.6.tar.gz

diff -u below:

-wingeom_entry  : string string { AddToList (Scr-WindowGeometries, $1, $2) }
+wingeom_entry  : string string { AddToList (Scr-WindowGeometries, $1, $2); }



I hope this is enough to fix it.

My bison calls itself bison (GNU Bison) 2.0.

There's a number of these in 3.6.  AFAIK, they're all resolved in the
3.7 alpha.

True, but I think it might be wise to transfer some of those to 3.6
and make a bug fix release.  It's been long overdue, really.  And I
could also transfer things that are known to work...

I think we should have a bug fix release called 3.7   8-}

That's a point, except we already have a 3.7 alpha (that needs to be
updated and fixed), which feels as much like a bug introduction
release as it would be a bug fix release.  There are a lot of changes
between 3.6 and 3.7, and I'm not sure I've caught up on what they all
really do...

Honestly, I think 3.7 should just be quitely dropped and we should
restart from 3.6, apply all the bugfix patches and possibly some of
well-tested and known-to-be-OK improvements and call this release 3.8.

Then, with the new 3.8 as baseline, people can re-submit whatever
patches didn't make it into 3.8.

That feels like a positive way for me.  At least, that means I can
actually make heads and tails of what things solve what, and get out
of my current stagnation with this project.  It's actually quite
simple for me to do, as the 3.6 to whatever there was before we
started on 3.7 was just one commit, and is therefore easy to revert.

While we're into structural changes, how would you guys feel about a
future change of SCM.  I'm getting a little sick and tired of the non
atomic nature och CVS, along with the file-oriented way instead of the
changeset-oriented, along with the non-existent history control (quite
important when merging lines of development).  BTW, DON'T PANIC!  I'm
not about to make that change now, just throwing it into the pile of
ideas.  Personally, I'd like to use monotone
(http://www.venge.net/monotone/), but since it's currently undergoing
quite a lot of change, I'd wait until the summer before doing an
actual change...

Right now, I'm a bit busy seeing my son, whom I haven't seen for two
and a half months (I'm divorced, I live in Sweden, he lives in Boston,
you do the math :-)), so I'm not going to promise much movement quite
yet.

Cheers,
Richard
