| antifuchs | nikodemus: anyway, git and cg both run under cygwin (depending on the \n -> \r\n translation setting; it doesn't wfm on \r\n) |
| nikodemus | antifuchs: i hereby nominate you one of the 12 people in the world who found old arch easy to use ;-) |
| antifuchs | why, thank you (: |
| _deepfire | hmm, backends on Xof's mcclim coverage are marked as completely unexecuted |
| Xof | well, duh |
| antifuchs | _deepfire: right. that's because the test suite doesn't exercise them (: |
| Xof | the tests don't open a window that's why I said "it might be interesting to run demodemo" or to write tests using the Null backend |
| _deepfire | old arch as in the bash-based one? |
| antifuchs | that, and tla, and bazaar1 (: tbh, they did have ... quirks (: but they put automated usability first, which I think is a good thing. |
| nikodemus | does anyone have experience with git-svn? |
| antifuchs | I don't I'd like to grow some, though (-: |
| nikodemus | i'm going to give it a whirl |
| antifuchs | great |
| Xof | the good thing is that while all you lot are arguing about version control systems, I can commit lots of trivial fixes and make it look like I am contributing loads |
| cmm | there must be a Lisp of version control systems, making all those newfangled toys looking quaint by comparison! |
| antifuchs | Xof: yay! |
| nikodemus | if mercurial is 1k lines of python, someone needs to make a lisp version ;-) |
| antifuchs | oh, one thing that I think you forgot in your requirements mail: quality of conversion (: |
| cmm | mercurial is Bram Cohen's thing, right? |
| nikodemus | i think so antifuchs: true, but since that is a one-time operation i have fair confidence that it can be done (even if slightly painfully) well enough |
| antifuchs | nikodemus: well, I've seen one-time conversions that didn't work too well (: cvs->svn is usually a safe route, even for corner cases and svn->anywhere-else is said to work well, too; git-cvsimport and sbcl's repo works well enough, too (as you know) (: |
| nikodemus | that's good to hear |
| sqweek | #git is happy to help out with conversion issues afaik |
| antifuchs | (: they have a new tool that apparently works even better but thanks to the sbcl committers' discipline, this isn't really a big issue (: I'll try out the new route, though |
| beach | I'll ask this question again now that there are some more McCLIM people around: does anyone here remember how to get a specific X11 font in McCLIM? |
| Xof | beach: probably a device-font-text-style |
| beach | Xof: I'll try that, thanks. |
| Xof | you might need to call (setf text-style-mapping) yourself at the moment |
