I still have problems with using markup in the commit msgs tho. I asked

[fossil-users] Quick Q on valid markup for commit msgs

2017-03-30 Thread The Tick

On 3/29/2017 2:36 PM, Richard Hipp wrote:


The default formatting for comments is Wiki markup.  You can change
this for each repo using the Admin/Timeline menu.



I ran a "fossil ui"

First I went to admin->timeline and checked "allow block markup"

I went to wiki->Formatting rules->Markdown wiki.

Using that info, I created a commit msg for a dummy file. When I go to 
the timeline and files views, the only formatting I see is for 
paragraphs. There is no bold, italic, bullet lists. No indented 
paragraphs. It did honor  tho.


Where are the rules and syntax for this "block markup"?

I've used RCS in the past for my personal projects. I'm used to making a 
simple list of the changes for a particular file and then doing a 'ci' 
for that file. When I reached a point where I considered the project 
"done" for the time being, I tagged all the files with an ID. Or, if I 
did not care, I'd just leave the ,v files as is and do a 'co *,v' when I 
wanted to do a build. Actually, gmake did that for me.


I've not used another scm (not quite true, I'm sure I used one when I 
was still working but I couldn't tell which one; git, cvs, etc. were not 
invented yet I think). Perhaps my "rcs" thinking is obsolete.

Unfortunately, I don't have a BSD box to test with.

The BSD man page for env claims that the -S option tells env to split the
string following it by white space.

Therefore, I would expect:

env "-S perl -e 'print qq([$_] ) for (@ARGV)' a b c"

to output:

[a] [b] [c]

There are examples of this behavior in the env man page (for BSD systems).

But, as I said, I don't have a BSD box to test this on,

Also, as best I can tell, only BSD's env has the -S option, so it is not a
portable solution.

However, the following should be portable to most Unix/POSIX type systems:

#!/bin/sh -c fossil cgi fossil.config

[fossil-users] Unfortunately I still see blobs of text for commit messages

2017-03-30 Thread The Tick
I thought my problem with the commit messages looking like a big blob of 
text was fixed by adding:


/* THIS WORKS - Enable timeline comments to respect linefeeds. */
span.timelineComment {
  font-family: Consolas;
  white-space: pre;
}

to the css here: http://localhost:8080/setup_skinedit

Now I was poking around and looked at an individual file. The commit 
messages are again a blob. I don't know a lot about css but with the raw 
fossil html:

I've googled to see if I could go back and edit the commit messages but

Before I just throw the whole thing away and start over using that

I agree completely about MS doing things Better(TM), but when it comes
to complaints or observations about their Unicode compliance, I laugh.
Not because they shouldn't change ... they should. But because they
were one of the *first* to support Unicode as designed and
standardized. UTF-8 was people blazing new trails because they didn't
want to do it in the blessed manner of the day. :) Unicode was a
simple straightforward two byte encoding back then. As Bill Gates
(then CEO of MS, MS being one of the earliest members of the Unicode
Consortium) said in 1991:

"Okay, so 640K of RAM isn't enough memory, but 64K code points will
definitely encode more characters than we'll ever possibly need. You

a related funny anecdote: Suse Linux's primary admin tool front-end is
called "yast" (yet another setup tool). Every Suse system i've used
symlinks /usr/bin/zast to /usr/bin/yast because a primary difference
between German and US keyboards, aside from the addition of umlauted
characters on the right, is that 'z' and 'y' are swapped (Suse originated
in Germany).

I put © in C++ comments all the time.  Every time I touch an old file that

just fine.

UTF-8 isn’t an “escape sequence” system, by the way.  It’s interpreted by the 
terminal, but it isn’t part of the terminal protocol.  You tell your local 
terminal what character encoding you want it to use as part of the locale 
setting.

UTF-8 is no more an “escape sequence” than would be setting your terminal into 
EBCDIC mode or changing it from US-English to UK-English.

And if you think that latter has no effect on the keyboard input 
interpretation, try it, then see what happens when you try to “cd ~/foo”.  I 
have to fix that every time I re-flash my Raspberry Pi with Raspbian, which 
defaults to expect a British English keyboard.  I suppose they think that’s

That’s an OS usability issue, not a Unicode issue.

OS X solved this problem beautifully about the same time nvi and Vim were 
getting proper Unicode support.  From my US-English keyboard, I can type most 
common Western language accents and special characters — including £ — with 
some simple, easy to learn shortcuts.

(£ is Opt-3, and the em dashes are Shift-Opt-Hyphen.  Much nicer than Windows’ 
Alt-CODE scheme or Ubuntu’s even worse Ctrl-Shift-U-CODE scheme.)

For the less common characters, recent versions of OS X let you hold down the 
character nearest in form to what you mean to type (e.g. ‘o’ to get ó, ø, ö, 
etc.) to get a palette of variants on that character.  (If you have an iOS 
device, you may have seen this; OS X got it later.)

And if all else is lost, Cmd-Ctrl-Space brings up a palette with the same 
effect as Windows’ separate Character Map tool, but much easier to use.

Solutions are available, if you go looking.

(And I don’t mean “switch to macOS” here.  But you’d be welcome if you did.)

I’ve “only” been using vi for about 37 years, and I can type UTF-8 in my vi 
variant of choice just fine.  (Vim, which got Unicode support in 2001.)

Ironically, Notepad does support Unicode, completely, even UTF-8:

https://imgur.com/a/AIFZA

You know it’s time to update when your text editor of choice is outdone by 
Notepad. :)

And no, I’m not endorsing Notepad.  One of the things on my long to-do list is 
a comparison of Windows 10 Notepad vs 1980 vi.  Even the Unicode issue aside, I 
think vi still wins, which is very sad.

According to Wikipedia, nvi got Unicode support in 2000.

Here on my Mac, “brew install nvi” gets me an nvi that does preserve UTF-8 
non-ASCII characters in files, and does let me insert them.  It claims to be 
version 1.81.6_3.

I did see one bobble in its handling of UTF-8, namely that I had to say ‘x’ 
twice to get it to delete a character that’s expressed as 2 bytes in UTF-8.

> Here is what
> utf16le.txt (from Fossil test directory) looks like to me:

That’s UTF-16, of course, so no surprise that nvi doesn’t do the right thing on 
a machine that is likely using either a UTF-8 or ISO-8859 locale setting.

A more useful test would be the W3C’s UTF-8 test file:

https://www.w3.org/2001/06/utf-8-test/UTF-8-demo.html

And if that fails, what is your LANG/LC_* variable set to?

> Do I need UTF-8?  Not really.

I don’t think it’s fair to notable Fossil users like Jörg Sonnenberger that we 
misspell their names simply because we refuse to give up ASCII-centrism.

That was fine 15-20 years ago, when Unicode support on *ix platforms was still 
weak, but the first Bubble exposed most of these problems to the Many Eyeballs.

> I don't  even have  a keyboard  that can
> produce any UTF-8 characters

That’s purely a local issue.  Many people do have such keyboards, as I’ve 
demonstrated above.  And I’m not German.  Or Swedish.  Or Dutch.

And that’s just the consequences of missing out on one single accent.

> except those which overlap with ASCII, and
> even then, they are only 1 byte characters anyway.

You must mean ISO-8859 or or one of the Windows code pages, not ASCII.  
X3.4-1968 (the last version) is a 7-bit character set.  When expressed with 
8-bit code points, the meaning of values > 127 is not defined by ASCII.

And since ISO-8859 and the Windows code pages are all mutually incompatible 
except for their shared ASCII subset, we need Unicode.  We have lots of 
solutions to parts of the problem, but only Unicode solves the whole problem.

Well, it's still there on google.com. Surprisingly, as I thought they'd
just cut off connections at the date they targeted to shut down the
hosting. So you can still get the master, export to github, export to a
real git hosting, etc.
So
https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-source/v2/code.google.com/majesticuo/source-archive.zip
works and
https://code.google.com/export-to-github/export?project=majesticuo will
do the export to GitHub.
I just wanted to express under the assumption that it was already
offline, that sometime it can be difficult to find the "real" developers
repository with all these exports.

Are you sure there's not some no-frills way of getting at what used to be
on Google code - e.g.
https://code.google.com/archive/p/majesticuo/source/default/source ?

If only.. You had the option to export them at free will. That sadly
also means that in the cases where upstream developers went on hiatus
long enough to miss the shutdown we now have to search for the correct
upstream. libmp4v2 is one of the packages which makes our job as package
maintainers harder than it has to be.

Re: [fossil-users] Fossil as an app server?

2017-03-30 Thread Paul Hammant
Thanks Joe, thanks Stephen.

Joe,

Here's a "seatmap" app I made using CouchDB -
http://paulhammant.com/2015/12/21/angular-and-svg-and-couchdb/. It works
with CORS enabled.  In the new Serverless era (
https://martinfowler.com/articles/serverless.html - Mike is a buddy and
former colleague of mine) things like CouchDB make perfectly usable
"backend as a service" (BaaS) technologies. CouchDB allows anon access as
well as logged in users (if so configured). In a sophisticated BaaS
solution you'll probably want both and something fine grained to support
that in the BaaS platform . which probably means some TH1 fu on the
server side.

Stephen,

Nice achievement and great document on the JSON-api usage (and challenges
you faced).  should be in markdown under source-control of course
. What was the name of your GoogleCode application?  They all got
auto-moved to Github at some point.  I'm example orientated and can only
really make leaps in understanding after looking a tight solutions :)

- Paul

Re: [fossil-users] "CGI" command and argc

2017-03-30 Thread Florian Balmer
Thanks for the link and the additional information. I have stumbled
upon a website with meticulous research about the unspecified shebang
behavior across a wide range of systems:

https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/

There's indeed so many variants that it may not be a good idea to do
any modifications, here.

Of course the portable solution you mentioned is also fine
(performance is no issue on my stone-age shared host with just a
handful of personal repositories).

> So, I would expect both of the following to work:
> #!/usr/bin/env -S fossil2/fossil cgi fossil.config
> #!/user/bin/env -S fossil1/fossil cgi fossil.config

No, they don't, as the CGI script name is appended as an extra
argument to the shebang command line, causing Fossil to leave the path
with the explicit "CGI" command. I was suggesting that Fossil keep
going the explicit "CGI" command path even if there's more than three
command line arguments.
