Vcs 0.5.2.3: Uninstallable
by Roland Levillain 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I tried to update my Gem copy of Vcs with this one: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~pouill_n/vcs/vcs-0.5.2.3.gem but I got: brasilia ~/download/software/ruby/vcs % sudo gem install vcs-0.5.2.3.gem Attempting local installation of 'vcs-0.5.2.3.gem' ERROR: Error installing gem vcs-0.5.2.3.gem[.gem]: undefined method `include?' for nil:NilClass :(

I would still promote the use of a title (this is a good thing), but I would not make it mandatory. In particular, it can prevent the use of VCS in contexts where this is not the recommended use. So I second Roland here.

Vcs 0.5: Malformed e-mails?
by Roland Levillain 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi, The upcoming Vcs 0.5 (from http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~pouill_n/vcs/) seems to send malformed e-mails. I've come to this conclusion after having noticed that 1. there were duplicate headers in e-mails (`From' and `To'). If you have subscribed to olena-patches, you can see these cloned fields (unfortunately they aren't visible in Mailman's archives) ; 2. none of the patches I've committed with Vcs 0.5 were visible in the lrde.olena.patches group, although they have reached the olena-patches mailing list. This is perhaps because of the sync mechanism between the mailing list and the newsgroup, which prevented this maybe-malformed e-mail from going into the group. I'll temporarily switch back to Vcs 0.4.

Vcs: lack of support for --non-recursive
by Roland Levillain 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

The `--non-recursive' option (short option: `-N') doesn't work on `vcs-svn commit'. For instance, lets say my working copy contains a new directory and three new files within this directory: A tests A tests/is_a.cc A tests/properties.cc A tests/if.cc A tests/typedef.cc I just want to commit `tests/if.cc' and `tests/typedef.cc'. With plain svn, I must mention `tests' in the list of files-to-be-committed; but to avoid the checkin of `tests/is_a.cc' and `tests/properties.cc' (due to the default recursive behavior of `svn commit'), I have to add `--non-recursive' to the command line as well. This doesn't work with Vcs' front-end to svn (vcs-svn): the `--non-recursive' option is thrown away and svn adds `tests' and its files recursively. I also tried to omit `test' in the vcs-svn command line, but the result is the same as with vanilla svn: that's forbidden. [...] svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: '/home/levill_r/src/oln-1.0/metalic/tests' is not under version control and is not part of the commit, yet its child '/home/levill_r/src/oln-1.0/metalic/tests/typedef.cc' is part of the commit (An obvious workaround is to move away new/modified files from the working copy at checkin time, but that's quite a regression from plain svn!).

Vcs 0.5: Request for feature: more flexible ChangeLog entry
by Roland Levillain 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

Hi, Vcs 0.4 used to have a nice ChangeLog template. While Vcs 0.5's one is simpler and suffices in most cases, its lack a thing I was using in Vcs 0.4: choosing the title of a ChangeLog entry (or giving it no title). Vcs 0.5 automatically uses the subject from the e-mail form to generate the title of the ChangeLog entry. In Vcs 0.4, the template for the ChangeLog entry was less laconic and the title was visible as a tag: <%= title %> I could remove this title, give a longer or shorter title/explanation, etc. Would it possible to get this feature back in the forthcoming Vcs? Thanks in advance!
