[Haifux] cat-like command

2009-12-19 Thread Brian Wood
Is there a command something like cat that will copy a
file into the copy/paste buffer, so I can paste the contents
somewhere after running the command?

Also I'd like to find someone willing to give me an account
on a big-endian machine.  I'm willing to give that person
investments in Ebenezer Enterprises in exchange.

TIA.

That would need to be an X command, as the command line has no "paste 
buffer", on the X server. I'm not aware of such a command, but it 
shouldn't be too difficult to write.

Also I'd like to find someone willing to give me an account
on a big-endian machine.
I may be able to arrange something. I have Sparc and  PowerPC machines. 
I'll try to figure out how I can expose them to you. How long do you 
need the access for? What type of access do you need?

Yes, I know of it. I should note that I was told that it doesn't work on KDE, 
and when I'm running KDE, I'm using the following script:

<<<
#!/bin/bash

# Copy standard input or a string to the KDE clipboard.
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then
input="$(cat)"
else
input="$*"
fi

if which klipper | grep -q kde3 ; then
dcop klipper klipper setClipboardContents "$input"
else
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.klipper \
/klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.setClipboardContents \
string:"$input"
fi
>>>

I call it "klip".

Some CPAN testers are running big-endian machines:

http://www.cpantesters.org/

You can also emulate one on a PC (or a different little-endian machine) using 
QEMU:

http://www.qemu.org/about.html

And finally, you may opt to buy this cheap Mipsel machine:

But also see Shachar's message.

MIPS can be either big endian or little endian. "mipsel" is little
endian MIPS.

arch/mips/configs/lemote2f_defconfig has:

# CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is not set
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y

(I just got one such laptop. Looks nice, though the included software
could be improved. They seem to be making an effort and I see quite a
few changesets from @lemote.com addresses in 2.6.33)


OTOH, you can buy a used Mac/PowerPC
