subversion quotes

Hi,

a friend of mine runs a small restaurant and wants to professionalize his
IT. Our idea was to store everything in subversion (we use Debian with svn
1.3). We had absolutely no problems with the 2D objects, converting recipes
to ASCII and storing them was peanuts. However the 3D objects are giving us
a headache - the forks and knifes are stuck in the keyboard, we even
destroyed a floppy drive trying to read an apple.

Any ideas how we can still use SVN to store everything?

Talking about commit souds...

weird, mine and jack's come out way too fast with this
player... but the others all work fine.
and after hearing them all, i have two thinigs to say: first,
it must be really amusing hearing that stuff randomly throughout
the day in the office, and two, cmike spent far too long on his
;-)
rooneg: yours and jack's got corrupted
cmpilato goofed when converting from mp3 to ogg
he's gonna fix it, tho
cool
* rooneg considers filing a critical issue about the problem ;-)
heh
obviously this will block any 1.0 release
indeed.

ayita: index kfogel.*
you killed her it seems
darix: LOL
It's not nice to hurt people
Oh my god, they killed ayita!
hiiiiiiiiiidey ho!
* rindolf quickly finds someone else to blame.
a scape-goat!
sussman: you'll be the ideal scape-goat for the murder of ayita.
I think you'de be good at the 'werewolf' game

"Let's do it then."

Will he have a last name of Collins-Sussman as well, or just
Sussman?
rindolf: he may have a completely different last name! Why limit
the selection so? ;)
heh
no names yet
yes, twill be collins-sussman
Collman or Susslis.

Baby talk at FreeNode's #svn, the Subversion Channel.

Success!!!
I discovered another copy-and-paste-bug and now everything is
working. In Perl.
Problem between the keyboard and the chair.
The most common sort
_My_ keyboard and chair.
I stand by my statement *grin*
That's the problem with starting from a code that does things
differently, and does more.
It's a good thing I wrote this test case.

Hmmmppf... sussman is not here?
What is #svn without sussman?
It's like a cat without a mustache!

maybe we need a stand-in-sussman..!

yea. working on *that* though...

* rindolf feels a desire for mayhem and murder of the Subversion
developers
rindolf: don't do this!
we still need them
darix: heh heh right.
Of course, I am a Subversion developer, too.
* darix gives rindolf a sword
do harakiri then ... that keeps us enough other devs ;p
and you killed at least one of them ;)
* rindolf feels a desire for mayhem and murder of darix
* rindolf takes darix' sword and uses it to stab darix
YAY!

Great. Just Great. I wanted to remain a lazy leech, just using the
selfless work others have done on subversion for my own personal
advantage. The problem is, as soon as I read HACKING and learn how to
submit a patch and begin by contributing something as tiny as a FAQ fix,
I'll be hooked, and I'll start to become a contributing member of
society. Next, I'm afraid I'll want to tackle a bite-sized task and help
fix bugs and develop the product. (You guys are so sneaky!!) :-)

("Sorry, Honey. Can you take care of that? I have to submit another svn
patch...")

#svn's tribute to "Finding Nemo"

you need to use gdb in a real IDE, like emacs, or ddd.
something that shows a pointer moving down your code.
sussman: IDEs are for wimps... ;-)
Seriously, sometimes invoking gdb is very quick and I'm
accustomed to it.
ddd is quite on the heavy side.
"Programming happens in the mind, not in the IDE"
--- Gil'ad Ben-Yossef
So does debugging.
sure.
why would you possibly want to see all your code at once?
it's much easier to see single lines printed out and try
to remember what the function looks like. :-)
ed, anyone? ;-)
"I wanna use ex and I wanna use vee (=vi). Ed is dead, ed is dead,
baby!"
"Ed is for people who can *remember* what they're working on."
* jackr remembers when he could remember what he was working on.
Sometimes.

rindolf: CIA watches much more than just Subversion. Google
on it (uh, include the word "commit" too I guess), the details
are quite interesting.
it's currently watching kfogel's houseplants
rindolf: If you don't know Fitz, you'll probably assume he's
joking.
go into #commits
you can see all the CIA commits for different opensource
projects
...which is to say, all the commits.

Is gstein the person to blame for the anti-Perl FUD on
http://viewcvs.sf.net/?
yes.
likely.
. . .
Subversion used to be this amazing nest of anti-perl people.
That's calmed down a bit... largely because Greg Stein has been
distracted. :)
I personally am a Perl guy who despises Python, but can still
tolerate the Subversion tests because they are actually shell
scripts in disguise.
* jackr thinks there are other Python-loving Perl haters around

Python vs. Perl on #svn

sussman: for the record, I think the build system is the ultimate
proof that python code can be as bad as Perl one.
* clkao giggles
hehe
* rindolf hopes he's not starting a flamewar
btw, freebsd svn port maintainer was complaining about unable to
do --with-swig specifying only perl or pythong bindings to build..
* cmpilato notes that the topic of this channel is Subversion.
(so he refused to include the option for building either bindings
in the port!)
I once saw a perl5 code written in perl4 style. Now that was
hideous.

sussman's been idle for 15 minutes.

Or is it "wherefore"?

ghudson: there was a three hour difference, so people would have
noticed the warnings
but yes, that's the only dfiference
i.e., you could theoretically test with the current test tarball
Yeah, not important for my purposes, is what I meant.
* kfogel is super paranoid and prefers testing of the real
tarball, but has retained just enough sanity to know that this
is paranoia...

#svn

clkao: I have a 1.25Tb CVS repo that I'm afraid they'll ask me
to convert
fear!
... and loathing!
you must! since you're @collab

indeed.
It would probably go into several SVN repos (there are no
boundaries inside CVS, so it's not necessarily 1::1). But
individual pieces are often much bigger than 10.5g
fear, indeed.

How can I best install Subversion on a Debian Stable system?
rindolf: Presumably with apt.
breser: subversion is not present in Debian Stable, and
installing it from testing or unstable may require upgrading
half if not more of the system.
And I know what apt is.
* rindolf kicks breser so he won't give obvious but useless
answers like Microsoft support persons.
* breser kicks rindolf so he won't ask vague questions that
result in obvious but useless responses when he already
knows the obvious but usless response is the obvious
response to give.
* rindolf kicks breser for no reason at all.

rindolf: I replied.
sussman: reloading
sussman: 220$ for a last name change? Holy virgin mother of god!
why?
sussman: but if you were Ben Collins, people would have confused you
with BenC. And no-one will understand who "sussman" is.
sussman: $220 is a lot of money, especially in Israel.
Horrible sexist discrimination, really. I had to pay $400 and
swear in front of a judge, to get my name changed.
My wife had to do nothing. She just showed her marriage license,
