I tried Pijul last weekend, on debian stable.
It installed successfully, I did "pijul init", I recorded some changes, but then "pijul log" did show nothing. I tried all the combinations of add/record, but pijul log stayed empty. I stopped to try because I didn't have much time.
It would be nice to have a better first experience, I'm not sure what I did wrong
- pmeunier 6y agoOn the other hand, it's still in alpha. What version did you try? Also, pijul log still depends on less, and there are some problems related to that. This is going to be fixed soon.
- antpls 6y agoThere is no disclaimer on the front/download page or installation page saying in big bold "this software is alpha stage", so what should we expect? :-) I don't remember the exact version, but I installed it following the instructions on the pijul website for Debian, with Nix. I had to use a different set of options to install pijul through Nix than the ones on the website (after some Googling and luck, because I had no idea how to use Nix), maybe it had an impact on the installation. Maybe a simpler way to distribute the software would be a simple zip with a static binary that works on most linuxes without installation. A docker image is also an option, though maybe overkill (but more people knows docker than nix) Anyway, I will try again in some months, the project is definitely interesting.
