| karora | chilts: I'm trying to use the latest cil from Debian Unstable. | 00:58 |
|---|---|---|
| chilts | righto | 00:59 |
| karora | When I add an issue or edit an issue the stuff I type into my editor does not seem to end up in the issue :-( | 00:59 |
| chilts | hmm | 00:59 |
| chilts | so after cil add, does it complain, create the file (with nothing in it) or create the file with something (but not the right thing) in it? | 01:00 |
| chilts | which version? v0.07? | 01:01 |
| karora | The issue is created, but there's no description. | 01:01 |
| karora | It just says "Description ..." at the bottom of it. | 01:02 |
| karora | Yeah, this is 0.07.00 | 01:02 |
| karora | From Debian. | 01:02 |
| chilts | so you had deleted that line and put your own description there? | 01:02 |
| karora | No, not yet. | 01:03 |
| chilts | then the description was saved as 'Description ...' | 01:03 |
| chilts | I should change that placeholder text to 'Description (change me) ...' | 01:03 |
| karora | When I went "cil add blah blah blah blah" an editor came up with an empty document, so I typed my description into that. | 01:03 |
| chilts | it doesn't do anything with the blah blah blah | 01:03 |
| karora | Was that editor supposed to be displaying the whole issue? | 01:04 |
| karora | What's your normal workflow for creating an issue? | 01:04 |
| chilts | so 'cil add' doesn't take anything on the command line | 01:04 |
| karora | The "blah blah blah" is now the summary for the issue, but other than "vi issues/whatever" I can't | 01:05 |
| karora | OK. | 01:05 |
| karora | That's not what the man page says. | 01:05 |
| chilts | I usually go "cil add --commit" | 01:05 |
| chilts | the type in the title and the description | 01:05 |
| chilts | (sorry title=summary) | 01:05 |
| chilts | not sure I know where that is, maybe that's been added by someone else for Debian | 01:07 |
| * chilts will check | 01:07 | |
| chilts | what does the line of the manpage say, and I'll grep for it? | 01:08 |
| karora | OK.The man page was probably something fmarier did. | 01:08 |
| karora | add [--mine] [summary] | 01:08 |
| karora | Adds an issues after you have edited the input. Text passed after 'add' will be used as the bug summary line. | 01:08 |
| chilts | yeah, do a 'cil --help' and you can see the add command takes nothing afterwards | 01:08 |
| karora | I noticed that. | 01:10 |
| chilts | karora: as it turns out, I no longer maintain cil (really) and asked a guy if he wanted to take over development (though I heard nothing back from him after that) | 01:10 |
| chilts | so yeah, I don't really use it anymore :) | 01:10 |
| chilts | sometimes I think I should | 01:10 |
| karora | And I thought "Surely I can pass in an issue title on the command line", so I checked the man page :-) | 01:10 |
| karora | Heh. | 01:10 |
| chilts | yeah, that would probably be a good idea | 01:10 |
| karora | OK. | 01:10 |
| chilts | lols ... in the code, it _does_ do the summary from the command lien :) | 01:11 |
| karora | I was just starting to track issues for a new project and it seemed to me like it would be a good way to deal with "confirmed issues that we know need fixing" | 01:11 |
| chilts | heh, I never knew | 01:11 |
| karora | Yeah. | 01:11 |
| karora | That bit actually worked. | 01:11 |
| chilts | seems to work with my version here | 01:11 |
| karora | But then it threw up this empty editor window in front of me. | 01:12 |
| karora | EDITOR=gvim | 01:12 |
| chilts | if you say it worked, then an empty editor would mean that it didn't? | 01:12 |
| karora | No, an empty editor probably means that the temp file the editor was supposed to be editing has a different name, or something like that. | 01:13 |
| chilts | can you try it with EDITOR=vim and see if that works? | 01:13 |
| karora | Yeah, OK. | 01:13 |
| chilts | yeah, you're probably right | 01:13 |
| chilts | mine works with vim and emacs | 01:13 |
| karora | Yep. | 01:14 |
| karora | Works with EDITOR=vim | 01:14 |
| chilts | cool | 01:14 |
| chilts | not sure about gvim then | 01:14 |
| chilts | sorry | 01:14 |
| karora | So that's an acceptable workaround for me, and I can file a bug against the Debian package :-) | 01:14 |
| karora | Which $SOMEONE can push to the upstream... | 01:15 |
| karora | And the normal service of this channel can be returned to witnessing the passing of the days. | 01:15 |
| karora | afternoon | 01:15 |
| chilts | hehehe | 01:16 |
| chilts | afternoon | 01:16 |
| karora | Amusingly the --commit option is also *not* documented in the manpage. | 01:18 |
| karora | or the --help :-) | 01:19 |
| Bacta | Hai | 10:28 |

| snail | is there something special about https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+package/amaya ? it doesn't seem to be in the archives for installation... | 21:53 |
| ajmitch | it's jaunty? | 21:53 |
| ajmitch | which is now end-of-life | 21:53 |
| ajmitch | it was removed from debian & subsequently ubuntu due to numerous bugs & security issues | 21:56 |
| snail | oh, ok, thanks | 22:09 |
