[Fish-users] compare version strings

2016-07-08 Thread Andrew Schulman
What's the best (simplest, most efficient, or however) way to compare two version strings in fish? Any better way than writing a custom function? For example, I want to test if the current running version of fish is less than 2.3.1. I want to compare $FISH_VERSION to 2.3.1, using the version

[Fish-users] wrong release date for 2.3.0

2016-05-23 Thread Andrew Schulman
At http://fishshell.com, under Release History it says that 2.3.0 was released on April 22. But as the Release Notes show, it was released on May 20. Andrew -- Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.

Re: [Fish-users] How do I set fish_universal_notifier properly?

Hi, On Cygwin using the default notifier gives errors when I have multiple shells running. I have been changing the code in env_universal_common.cpp to make the shmem_polling strategy the default. It works fine, but it would be nice to not have to do it since it's the last local

Due to the large number of architectural and other changes within fish, we have started with a beta release - fish 2.2b1. Any testing would be very much appreciated. Hi. I'm testing in Cygwin x86_64. fish 2.2b1 builds and runs fine there. However, whenever I start a subshell, I get an error

Re: [Fish-users] Need to start fishing again

(not sure if I have enough beer) I've moved some of my stuff from fish back to bash for several reasons. But, the biggest was probably going box to box and having inconsistent setups. However, I've stabilized my personal work flow a bit, and I want to start using (and committing) to it

How hard was it to build? Do you have destructions? I figure I might as well be using source for when/if I find issues :) Not hard. It builds OOTB, but I added a few small patches, to add Cygwin-specific completions and make a few Cygwin-specific changes to /etc/fish/config.fish. For that

Re: [Fish-users] Using fish without fishd

2014-11-18 Thread Andrew Schulman
On trunk, universal variables no longer require fishd (!) and so it doesn't get launched. This was first enabled with commit 20d7a142, and will be the default behavior in the next release. When the release announcement comes, I hope there will be a short description of why this was done and

Re: [Fish-users] Using fish without fishd

2014-11-17 Thread Andrew Schulman
If you really don't want fishd running, then you probably don't want to be using fish. I wouldn't go that far. IIUC all fishd is responsible for is universal variables. fish has lots of other desirable features, and you won't get cleaner syntax by adding onto bash.

Part of the fish philosophy is it's not in fish if it's somewhere else I know I'm new here, but at the risk of already wearing out my welcome, I don't completely agree with that approach. Everything in fish is already somewhere else. Taken to its extreme, it's not in fish if it's somewhere

Hi. New fish user, and first post here. What's the recommended way to do regular expression testing and matching in fish? The test function doesn't support regexes. I could use expr, for example: if expr $var : 'a(.)b(.)' then # do something with the match end but that's awkward,
