World: r3wp

A question: for new releases, should I push to my carls repo, the 
rebol sandbox, or r3-hostkit ?

Asked another way: how does r3-hostkit get updated?

Do we always pull into it?

I would push into rebol/r3-hostkit for now.

(Which does not yet exist.)

The rebol/sandbox is just if you want to play around a bit with Github.

We'll probably just delete that afterwards.

Of course you can also create a repo under your carls user for playing 
around.

Another question: do you normally access github from git? Do you 
ever use the web interface?

You hardly need to use the web interface.

Good to know.

Is there a command for renaming files?

git-mv

If I remove a file from my repo, then I push . does it remove it 
from the target repo?

If you remove with git-rm, then create a commit with git-commit, 
then git-push: yes.

If you remove with something else, you'll still need to create a 
commit for that remove.

What is the reason to use git-push vs git push ?

(and other cmds)

That's just a convetion I use to refer to commands.

When I say git-push, you actually writ e `git push`.

But if you want to know more: man git-push

Well, I must say... I am impressed so far. There are a lot of "nice 
touches"

I'm sure you'll be even more impressed when you dig deeper.

It is so _extremely_ simple at it's core :)

Yes, and I want to make sure that the R3 Git Guide that we'll post 
shows that this is very simple to do.

I think many people have gone to use SVN and will resist a bit using 
something new.

Of course, in the worst cases, they can just use the zip/gz file 
downloads for read access.

Or they can even use svn for read access :)

Try it:
svn co https://svn.github.com/rebolsource/r3-hostkit.git

On the other hand, I've never met anyone who went back after giving 
a modern DVCS (which means mostly Git and Hg) a serious try.

So, to mark an official release, like A110, is it only necessary 
to commit with that message, or do we need to make a tag as well?

I would suggest adding a tag as well.

A tag is a minimal object in git, just pointing to a commit.

They are cheap! :)

I'm running out of questions. (A good thing.)

Incorporating changes from others will raise some questions.

But I think we should not get ahead of ourselves.

Yes, we can deal with that as it happens.

Ok, so here's the rough plan...

Tomorrow, if all goes well, I'll finish A110. I'll check that both 
the win32 and posix dirs are correct and build.


As part of the process, I'm going to text process the files to set 
them to LF only.

Then, I'll push it to the rebol/r3-host-kit repo (to be created.)

Do we want r3-hostkit or r3-host-kit ?

Most of the time I write it host-kit.

I would prefer r3-hostkit and call the thing "hostkit".

Those in-between dashes have a tendency of getting dropped or replaced 
by spaces or worse. So it's basically an attempt to preempt this 
:)

But whatever you prefer. r3-host-kit is fine as well.

The problem is that host-kit appears in many places spelled like 
that already. It may lead to errors to remove the - at this time.

Yes, agreed.

I'm going to let the RMA team know what's going on... so hopefully 
they can sync up on things quickly.

I would also suggest pushing into rebol/sandbox first, so that we 
can look over it together.

Will do.
