 Git is very powerful, but not the easier one to use. I'd suggest darcs

I used Darcs for a while and I liked its theory of patches. But at some point
I was just fed up with having to decide about every line I changed.
With Git, I can stage selected changes and subsequently commit them, while in
Mercurial I have not found any comparable feature.

You need to learn of the '-a' argument for 'darcs record' :-)

True, but I still don't quite understand the point of the staging area.
 I've
never found a good use for it.  In short, I don't think the staging area is
the feature that makes git a better option than Mercurial :-)

For Mercurial you have patch queues which you can use in a way that
allows you
to do stuff similarly to the staging area of git.

If you use it, you'll need it. :)
Short time ago, I didn't like the stage. I didn't want to add every file I
want to commit. But then I realized, that I really like to do many changes and
then group them into small commits.

git commits only the contents in stage. You can have some changes of a
file staged and others not.

I hadn't used git for a long time, until it was a requirement for my master
thesis. Now, I'm really a fanboy and the group's git guru.

git does really support my way of coding. BUT perhaps I've changed my style of
coding to match git? Who knows. …

The thing I think people have the most problems with is the fact that
git is less of a VCS itself, and more of a _toolkit_ to design your
own workflow.  It originally was, and very much still is, a simple
content addressable datastore, that happens to have some conveinence
layers making it a good DVCS.

It's data model it crazy simple, and supports pretty much any workflow
a project or user could concieve (merge/rebase/multi-repo/multi-branch/
hooks+validators/etc.)

Most will only use a handful of commands/concepts, but as a tool you
will need to use everyday (as a developer), one quickly grows to
appreciate it's flexibility.

Finally someone who doesn't use his mobile as excuse for top posting :)

I'm not very experienced as code, I pretty much just started my first
own project of a size to speak of, and I started using git.
I think using a VCS alone can change your workflow.
I feel bad each time I have to write a commit message after I have made
a bunch of unrelated changes. That alone might, with time, lead me to
concentrate on a single thing.

On the other hand I might learn how to use the staging area and keep
hacking on stuff as I see it. I haven't found my workflow yet, but I
won't switch back to no VCS for sure.

[arch-general] The principle behind MSN Yahoo invisible scanners?

2010-08-28 Thread Nilesh Govindarajan

 Go to google.com and search for MSN  Yahoo invisible scanners.
You'll find a big list.

So what's the principle of their working?
I'm thinking of writing a pidgin plugin to catch invisible buddies.

[arch-general] ati\kms\kernel problems

2010-08-28 Thread Waylls
So, such a problem.

With 2.6.35(and, it starts from 2.6.34.3) with enabled KMS(ati videocard, 
HD4570) i can't run X with both xorg 1.8 and xorg 1.9.
Now, i have mesa,libgl,ati-dri,xorg-* packages, xf86-video-ati from testing, 
2.6.35.4 from here to and still nothing.
With enabled KMS screen just freezes at startx(i'm using ion3, no DE) and 
that's it. No messages in log. No troubles in dmesg too, KMS starts normaly.

Software versions:

kernel: 2.6.35.4 (testing)
X: xorg 1.9(testing)
drivers: xf86-video-ati 6.13.1-2 (testing)
libgl: 7.8.2-3 (testing)
mesa: 7.8.2-3 (testing)
