Perhaps I wrote unidiomatic code, but I couldn't find the appropriate idiom if any such is.

I'm not a fan: • Case-sensitive exports seem wonky to me • Interfaces rather than variant types [but not interfaces per se] are weak • Member selection is in some cases cumbersome, in which it would not be in C, which is related to ¬(variant types) Mind, my experience is little, and this is merely what I found writing a λ-calculus interpreter in Go.

The reason for l9fb is to have a common interface whether it's the raw framebuffer, an aggregate surface of many framebuffers, a window, an OpenGL texture on a spinning cube, or whatever else. So far only the first is made.

Variously, but it would unsimplify the system, and I'm not sure whether it would help much. If wanted, tho, one could reserve a compressed /img over 9p with another program.
Re: [dev] [sbase][RFC] Add a simplistic version of tr
On 24/12/2013, Silvan Jegen s.je...@gmail.com wrote: So I guess the question boils down to whether you would rather use libutf or the standardized, POSIX-locale-dependent wchar.h functions for the UTF-8 conversion. I see one advantage of the wchar.h functions: If we use them we could avoid adding an external dependency to sbase. The disadvantage is the fact that we would depend on the whole posix-locale-thing which seems unnecessarily complicated in places. Use wchar.h functions and a sane libc, e.g. musl, which has a pure UTF-8 C locale, which ISO C explicitly allows [1]. The 8-bit clarity what POSIX wants [1] seems nonsense to me, as one can use byte functions for that, but I may be wrong. [1] http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/Functional_differences_from_glibc

I meant Unicodepoints; those are just Unicodecs. UTF-32 is an encoding that is identical to the unicode point as far as I know. So what I am thinking is that one would either use the UTF-8 representation of the Unicode point as an index, or the unicode point itself. Since using UTF-8 would not require any conversion (on UTF-8 locales) I think it would be preferrable. UTF-8 has variable width, so one must find the length of the sequence anyhow and shift it bytewise into an integer, so one may as well just use fgetwc or the like and work with codepoints.

I found the Wikipedia page and the X Consortium Input Method Protocol spec, but the former is a stub and the latter is noisy and seems inessential to my case. I checked the libX11 source, which defines structs _XIM and _XIC, but they are not defined in a public header and thus opaque to users. I added some marker syscalls before and after XOpenIM and straced it, and it tries to open /usr/share/X11/locale.(alias dir) many times before final failure, so I copied them and the C directory over from stock Arch Linux, in vain. I am on Starch Linux, kernel 3.10.7, xorg-server 1.14.2 kdrive Xfbdev, on a Dell Latitude E4300. What must I do to use st?

Re: [dev] [sbase] Adding tar
On 06/07/2013, Galos, David galos...@students.rowan.edu wrote:
The attached patch shows my current work on adapting sltar
to sbase. It is functional, but, there are still open questions
regarding tar. The big deal is the argument parsing: I would
like to use the ARG macros in tar, but I'm not sure how that
fits with the average tar invocation.
In short, how do you fine folks invoke your tar?
$ curl whatever.tar.gz | tar -xz
$ tar -C somewhere -xzf file.tar.gz
$ tar -czf file.tar.gz files
tho if z flag and others such were dropped I would soon adapt and not
miss them. Archiver/compressor integration loses, for it needs a flag
and code for each compression format.
The question is how critical these goals each are in sbase: sanity and
backward-compatibility.
We may wish to have a saner core toolkit, and wrappers around them for
legacy usage.
Not sure yet about the C flag; one could do this:
; @{ cd somewhere; gzip -d | tar -x } file.tar.gz
$ (chdir somewhere; gzip -d | tar -x) file.tar.gz
but that may be a bit cumbersome to do often.
Alternatively, we could have a utility, say in, what takes a
directory and further arguments, and execs the further arguments in
said directory.

[dev] [sbase] shell scripts
I see some utilities in sbase what could easily be shorter as
shell/awk scripts. Some utilities I sent in earlier, e.g. cut, were
turned down for this reason.
For examples, head:
#!/bin/sh
n=10;
while getopts 'n:' o; do
case $o in
(n) n=$OPTARG;;
esac
done
shift $(dc -e $OPTIND 1 - p);
for x in $@; do sed ${n}q $x; done
# END
pwd:
#!/bin/sh
echo $PWD
#END
Why are these in C?
head.sh now needs dc, but could easily rather use intc [1], which we
could include in sbase.

(No worries, the concepts are generic enough to be applied on every Linux or *BSD system.) I think a 30min talk would be enough to present it, and I'd like to have enough time for discussion later since this is a topic that is getting increasingly relevant given the current introduction of systemd everywhere. It's also interesting for the sta.li plans, I think. I won't be there but I would be very interested. initscripts are weak.

Now, the project seems to move fast, this is why I start another subject. The aim is different now, and I want to have some details from Suckless community / developpers about the upcoming technology. After reading many Wayland articles, I think it will completely change Linux ecosystem and I'm a bit worried. Well, what is its natural predator? Wayland introduces fuzzy aspects and they're not very clear for me (POSIX compliant, KMS and network transparency). Since I like many softwares like dwm st, I wonder how I'll do when Wayland will become the norm (as systemd). I really hope you consider porting your essentials softwares on Wayland, I really hope we don't. because major distribs like Fedora or Ubuntu plan to use it. They can use clay tablets for all I care. I think it's a dilemma: using your work on non-Wayland distribs or dropping my favorites softwares for Wayland... No dilemma here. Here my concerns (I'm not the only one, I guess). The only one in this thread so far.

One may argue that the job of ls is not to add sizes, but now we have 2 utilities what list files, which loses. [1] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=(ls, du)

I've always thought that forums, bbs and mailing lists are plain old hierarchical filesystems gone astray. These tools represent bad implementations of written communication between users. Imagine threads as folders, mails as files, subthreads as subfolders. Users should be able to create their topics and posts, but not to modify or delete anything. The mantainer can compress the topics with gz when it's time to make an archive. If you do not care about their user base, and also do not care about integration with mail clients, just share a folder over 9p, FTP, HTTP or whatever. SMTP and POP suck hard. Well, web fora, yes, but a mailing list is actually a decent model of written communication between users. True about SMTP. I never use BBSs or POP so I can make no worthy comment. The forum could be a mere sticky directory, which would allow all normal forumnal activities. The difficulty is how to share it: the only user ID is the server's, so UID checks are in vain; even with 9p, which can authenticate a remote user, it must then set its UID, and I will not have such a server working as root! I could check UIDs in the server, but that means more code... A mailing list is easier to configure. In this case, I'm limited too by the host machine, which is not mine.

Re: [dev] I'm back
Jens Staal staal1...@gmail.com wrote: I agree with this. As an example distribution, Sabotage does things pretty well. One detail that I like a lot (but it sort of depends on your stance on symlinks) is the way applications usually are placed in it: Each application gets its own directory under /opt and then installed files get symlinks in / (the file system hierarchy is stali-inspired with everything in root and usr just pointing back to root). For me, this is a nicer solution than for example pacman to keep track on which files that belong to which package (no fragile databases needed). One may use stacking bind mounts rather than symlinks. I know no decent such fs in Linux kernel space, as aufsn and unionfs seem cumbersome, but it ought to not be too difficult in user space, as 9p server. What I have noticed lately is however how much of the broken stuff that are expected to build also relatively fundamental technologies. For example, mesa (which is needed if one ever wants to run wayland instead of X) expects libudev to build, and if the version requirements will increase further that will basically force systemd on peopole. Free software, captive society.

On 19/10/2012, Calvin Morrison mutanttur...@gmail.com wrote: I think the largest benefit is the cache. Loading up many http://google.com's would mean you'd have to reload all of the images and such, whereas with one process, you wouldn't have an opportunity of overlap cache. So make a local HTTP caching proxy. Alternatively, to save memory perhaps, one could use local shared cache files, e.g. /var/cache/surf/hash of URL for unix-tooly-ness with kill, you could intercept signals and only have them apply to the current window. So to kill some window, I must first switch to it, then kill it. Not so bothersome interactively, but quite difficult in a script. That, and KILL is uncatchable, so it would kill them all; same for STOP.
