[O] org timer pause or continue

[Samuel Wales]

i'd like to have the timer stop when i do a type break and start when
i don't.  but the only interface for pausing i found is a toggle,
which gets out of sync for some reason.  is there a standalone pause
and a standalone continue that i missed?  thanks.

I thought about that. Unfortunately, defstructs are not customize
friendly. If we are going to give direct access to
`org-link-parameters', i.e., make it a defcustom, this is not an option.

Org 9.0 minimal requirement is Emacs 24.3, so "cl-lib" is fine.

This is not very different, but the value you are manipulating is
slightly more opaque in the first case.

`org-link-get-parameter' and `org-link-set-parameter', or some such. We
should make them public.

> WDYT?

As I said above, if `org-link-parameters' is a defcustom, we need to use
a plist. This is, however, not mandatory.

Indeed, we can also treat `org-link--parameters' as an internal variable
and force users, and libraries, to manipulate these parameters only
through a set of functions (e.g., `org-link-get-parameter',
`org-link-set-parameter', `org-link-add-parameters' and
`org-link-show-parameters').

Nevertheless, I tend to think the former is clearer for users, simply
because plists are simpler to grasp than structs. OTOH, /you/ are
customizing links and I'm not, so your opinion on the subject is
probably more accurate.

[O] Agenda custom commands and filtering category

Hi,

how can I create a custom agenda command that filters by category?
E.g. I want to create a custom agenda view that only shows items with

Not heard of Gogs before, although it looks nice. Another possiblity
would be gitolite with cgit. Gitolite is very flexible and as a
consequence can be hard to set up initially. The documentation is very
comprehensive. It supports mirroring of repos.

Would it make sense to use a defstruct for the link? Then we get getters
and setters automatically. We would still use an a-list of ("type"
org-link-struct). I see defstruct is an alias for cl-defstruct, does
that have Emacs version implications?

E.g.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defstruct org-link  follow export completion face display echo)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: org-link

A getter:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((new-link (make-org-link :follow nil :face '(:background "red"
  (org-link-face new-link))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| :background | red |

A setter:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((new-link (make-org-link :follow nil :face '(:background "red"
  (setf (org-link-face new-link) '(:background "blue"))
  (org-link-face new-link))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| :background | blue |

To get the follow property on a link it would look like:

(org-link-follow (cdr (assoc "type" org-link-parameters)))

It isn't that different from this:

(plist-get (cdr (assoc "type" org-link-parameters)) :follow)

and I suppose it might be nice to have

(org-link--get "type" :follow) instead.

WDYT?

I discussed possible server enhancements with Robert Klein a few
months ago.

I'm considering paying for a digitalocean instance, with https via
letsencrypt for both the website and git.

I'm also considering switching from our current git setup to using
Gogs (https://gogs.io): this would ease the process of adding new
contributors, welcoming more org repositories, etc.

The other solution would simply to use https://savannah.gnu.org.

One remaining problem for both gogs and savannah is to ensure web
references to commits are correctly redirected, which I think is
one line of nginx configuration.

I'm curious to know what people think about the switch to something
like gogs*.

Thanks,

* gitlab seems too heavy, and I'm more experienced in maintaining
  gogs instances than gitlab instances.

[O] Create org split agenda view, problems with differnt agendas in split windows?

[Xebar Saram]

Hi

I have written this crappy code to save a split orgmode agenda views with
different agenda views.

(defun z/buffers-restore-agenda-split   ()
 (interactive)
 (org-agenda nil "a")
 (split-window-right)
 (org-agenda nil "ba")
 (split-window-below)
 (org-agenda nil "bb")
 )

the function does split the windows correctly yet all the views get the
last option ("bb") instead of a different view in each window

any clue why this happens?


thx!

Re: [O] Two numerical solutions from fsolve inside calc source block

Better yet:

Re: [O] Two numerical solutions from fsolve inside calc source block

[Miguel Ruiz]

Not optimal solution:

#+begin_src calc :results code
fsolve([8.66e10 = r * v, -7.51e6 = 0.5*v^2 - 6.67e-11*6e24/r],[r,v])
#+end_src

yields

4621.24711316 - 2517.12631405 s2]

#+END_SRC

Manually add :var clause in the results block as follows

#+RESULTS:
#+BEGIN_SRC calc :var var-s2=1
[r = 866. / (4621.24711316 - 2517.12631405 s2), v = 
4621.24711316 - 2517.12631405 s2]

#+END_SRC

And finally the modified results block is evaluated

#+RESULTS:
: [r = 41157332.8093, v = 2104.12079911] ; var-s2=1

and

#+RESULTS:
: [r = 12131615.2598, v = 7138.37342721] ; var-s2=-1

Any improvement will be appreciated.

Answering my own question and saying you've made a cock-up! I'm using
the 'morewrites' package and if you include it after setting up the
indexes you will get this result with using 3 indexes -

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/morewrites/morewrites.sty
(/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/morewrites/primargs.sty)
! No room for a new \write.
\e@ch@ck ...message {No room for a new \string #4}
  \fi \fi 
l.34 \newwrite \g__morewrites_iow
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

But if you put morewrites before the index setup, then 3 or more indexes
work perfectly well, with absolutely zero problems.

Thanks
Sharon.
