World: r3wp

(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.

(We all here on AltME and RMA, that is.)

Ok, that's it for now.  We will see how things go tomorrow.  There 
are as many as 10 more Curecode tickets to fix in A110.

All the "pending" ones have been fixed already.

Well, got to run now. See you later/tomorrow!

congratulations on making this happen guys

Brian: I want to get Steve Solie's changes in there too for A110.

Now someone should really write some short docs. This is so complex 
and surely was not created for normal mortal, who just wants to download 
few source files and build a distro? So I downloaded Tortoise Git, 
naively thinking this is all I need. No, so I installed Git preview 
version (not full msysGit). Now - what should I do? I created a directory 
called host-kit, right pressed mouse, and chose "create repository 
here" or something like that. Now once again I press right mosue 
button, and try either git-clone, or Git sync, but it does nothing 
... I think my problem might be (apart from being too dumb and not 
willing to spend tonnes of my free time with such complex stuff):

- I am required to have some kind of account at target site

- I don't have it somehow linked with SSH stuff (did not choose to 
use my putty installation during the installation phase)


How do I get the actual copy of R3 Host Kit? There might be plenty 
users as me, willing just to download recent sources, and build, 
not to commit anything ...

Should be something like 
>> git clone <hostkit-url>

I use GUI though ....

I run git bash in the directory, and I get following:

[Krenzelok-:-KRENZELOK-PC] c:/!rebol/!R3/host-kit2 (master)
$ git clone http://github.com/rebolsource/r3-hostkit
Cloning into r3-hostkit...

fatal: http://github.com/rebolsource/r3-hostkit/info/refsnot found: 
did you run
 git update-server-info on the server?

[Krenzelok-:-KRENZELOK-PC] c:/!rebol/!R3/host-kit2 (master)
$

You shouldn't need to create and init a repository first.

In the above you are using an incorrect URL.

From the command line:
$ git clone http://github.com/rebolsource/r3-hostkit.git

From the explorer extension, choose a folder into which you want 
to place the hostkit folder. Right click, tortoisegit, clone, enter 
http://github.com/rebolsource/r3-hostkit.gitas url.

And you need neither an account on Github nor SSH set up for read-only 
access

OK, great hel, thank you ....

as for SSH, it uses its own SSH .... once synced, context menu item 
 git-clone changed to git-sync, and item TortoiseGit now contains 
many items. I gues for simple updates, I just use git-sync, or tortoiseGit/Pull 
or Fetch?
