[fossil-users] Stash with renames

2012-07-03 Thread Lluís Batlle i Rossell
Hello,

here 'fossil stash' behaved weird, if I had done 'fossil mv' operations. The
renames remain in the 'fossil status' after stash, and it also caused a revert
of all files in my repository; at elast that's what the console log said.

Maybe 'fossil stash' should handle better the renames situation? It looks a bit
broken.

I've tried with the current fossil trunk; two renames + the fs file moves, and
fossil starts a full revert file per file of all the repository.

Regards,
Lluís.

[fossil-users] Merging with renames (new directories)

2012-07-03 Thread Lluís Batlle i Rossell
Hello,

running a fossil merge mybranch fails to create some files, if the merge
includes renames to a directory non existant in the working copy. Creating those
directories makes the merge work.

I think that the handling of renames in the 'merge' operation does not handle
creating directories for those renames.

The output:
...
UPDATE tools/tool1/src/CMakeLists.txt
RENAME tools/tool1/src/lv/CMakeLists.txt - tools/tool2/src/lv/CMakeLists.txt
/home/llbatlle/3rd/fossil/fossil: cannot open 
/home/llbatlle/a/repo/tools/tool2/src/lv/CMakeLists.txt for writing

Stracing, it shows it's a open(...,O_CREAT,...) call failing with ENOENT.

Tested with fossil trunk.

Regards,
Lluís.

Dave,

Have you performed this test with windows exceptions enabled? It is possible 
that the direct write to the log file I have added after Phoenix has updated is 
causing an undisplayed exception. This would leave you in a situation where the 
system update has been performed but the active manifest has not been written 
to resulting in exactly what you see...2 grey boxes appearing indicating that 
that the update is being performed but then the original Phoenix being executed 
after a restart.

[fossil-users] Postmortum: DRH in Munich

2012-07-03 Thread Stephan Beal
Hi, all!

About 5 minutes ago i got home from the all-day meeting with list members
Richard (DRH), Bernie, and Gary (what are the odds - the meeting is in
Germany and 3 of us 4 carry American passports), and now i've got a small
hill of notes scribbled on the back of business cards and yellow sticky
notes...

Wow, what a day.

We didn't actually get around to hacking. Rather, we had an 11-hour series
of discussions, starting off with an introduction to Fossil (for the
benefit of colleagues of mine who dropped in and as a practice run for
DRH's presentation this coming Sunday at a TCL conference). We discussed
areas for improvement and came up with some cool new TODOs, none of which
either he or i will get a chance to work on anytime soon :/.

Some of the ideas we tossed around as TODOs include (@Bernie/Gary/Richard:
please ammend if i have left something out):

- Mozilla's RTF editor as a wysiwyg wiki (possibly embedded docs?) editor.
We looked closely at this and it this will not be nearly as much work as i
first anticipated, but we will have to munge the output just a tiny bit to
suit or needs.

- Adding more metadata to wikis, e.g. a title field. We might embed this
into the wiki content using a new wiki tag or similar. We will have to
enable the style attribute on tags in the wiki content (style is
currently filtered out by the wiki out of safety concerns), and if anyone
can name a concrete security reason why that would be a Bad Idea, please
speak up!

- We might (might!) use jQuery simplify the client-side implementations.
This would include a new config option which specifies whether an embedded
copy of jquery should be served or a copy from e.g. a Google CDN (offline
usage requires an embedded copy).

- Adding a system for integrating custom pages to fossil repos, e.g.
/myCustomPage, which would call content stored in the db. The original idea
was to use this as a new layout mechanism for the site, but we think that
this could possibly be used to reimplement some of the current static
pages . Part of this would include a templating mechanism. The pages could
have security restrictions and could be flagged as syncable/clonable (or
not) by the site admin (only admin users would be able to create/edit such
pages). A logical extension of this would be to build up snippets/widgets
which users can use to customize their pages (e.g. embedding a
mini-timeline overview in their home page).

- The JSON API already provides a good deal of what some of the above would
need, and it might become activated by default. Before this happens, a full
audit of the code is necessary, as well as stress tests to check for memory
mishandling and whatnot (a fuzzer test - i learned a new word today).

- External repositories (a-la SVN or git modules) came up once or twice,
but we didn't actually discuss adding it to fossil. i'd like to throw it
out there as a potential TODO, though. In short, this allows one to embed
external repos as subdirs of one's own repo, and is normally used to pull
in 3rd-party code upon which an app depends. A local pull would also pull
x-repos, but they would not participate in push (that might be the next
step, of course).

- Fossil timeline graph in CLI mode (like git). Several other git-like
features came up but i do not recall what they were :/. (@self: remember to
put DRH in touch with your libgit2 contact.)

In the 11 hours we discussed a great deal, and there was certainly more
that i missed altogether or didn't manage to jot down, and i would ask the
other attendees to extend the above if i've left anything interesting out.

@non-attendees: i intentionally left some of the above quite vague to try
to spark your imaginations. Some of the topics we discussed in some detail,
including potential implementation strategies, but rather than describe
that i'd like to hear what ideas others can derive from the descriptions
above.

i unfortunately failed to take any pictures except one of the whiteboard. :/

We would love to hear your thoughts/elaborations on the above ideas.

Happy Hacking!

A stashed item is a snapshot of its state in the past, and that state is
constant/final/immutable (as the past always is in fossil). A rename
happens in the future, and a stash cannot be aware of that (nor even know
if it should, for a given case, handle that - in the generic case this is
not answerable).

Perhaps stash is doing abstract the equivalent of fossil revert when it
should instead be doing fossil revert stashedfile1... stashedfileN?

i'm taking a look at it now, but the stash apply code is new to me and does
manifest-level work i'm not familiar with :/. i'm not certain if i'll have
this grokked in my last remaining hacking hour for the day :(. (i did,
however, see an easy optimization opportunity to skip an unnecessary
blob_compare() in one branch, and that will be checked in soon.)

I thought the coolest idea was for having the ability to define new pages
in the web interface, delivering repository-specific content.  By
repository specific, I mean content that is not synced using fossil sync
(though perhaps it could be using fossil config pull or fossil config
push).  Each content page would define a new URL.  The custom pages can be
used to store things like prebuilt binaries - things you might want to
include on a website but which do not want to version.  Or it can be used
to hold the initialization HTML page for a JSON-version of the web
interface.


 In the 11 hours we discussed a great deal, and there was certainly more
 that i missed altogether or didn't manage to jot down, and i would ask the

Have you got the fossil function name which triggered that? open() is
called somewhere deeper down than merge.c, and it's not obvious to me where
that's being triggered. Was it perhaps merge.c:380 (vfile_to_disk())?

My guess is that the bug is at vfile.c:311. We have a routine for creating
dirs (file_mkdir()), but i don't see a recursive one (equivalent of mkdir
-p). Before i add such a beast, do any of you know if we already have such
a routine?

what would we gain by using it. It just occurred to me, though, that i have

It's a very misquoted quotation.  Like, money is the root of all kinds of
evil, is usually quoted as, money is the root of all evil.  It's just
par for the course.  Most people say, the proof is in the pudding,  but,
unlike you, they just don't realize that they just said something that
doesn't really make very much sense.  I mean, if the proof is in the
pudding and you're making pudding, then the pudding doesn't exist yet.
 Maybe they should say, the proof will be in the pudding.

Anyway -- I guess this is turning into a thread-jack :).

 Anyway -- I guess this is turning into a thread-jack :).

  Heh, well, that's because it doesn't make sense.  The actual saying is:
 The proof of the pudding is in the eating. :)
 
  LOL! Well, it certainly tastes better than my foot ;).
 
  It's a very misquoted quotation.  Like, money is the root of all kinds
 of evil, is usually quoted as, money is the root of all evil.

 Actually, the correct quote is For the love of money is a root of all
 kinds of evil.  -

  It's just par for the course.  Most people say, the proof is in the
 pudding,  but, unlike you, they just don't realize that they just said
 something that doesn't really make very much sense.  I mean, if the proof
 is in the pudding and you're making pudding, then the pudding doesn't exist
 yet.  Maybe they should say, the proof will be in the pudding.

My bad -- I was speaking off the top of my head.
