Exporting to Git: You set a "Git mirror" once, optionally with a remote URI, and call fossil's export routine. Example: I wrote a cronjob that runs once every night that does nothing but update my Git mirrors from the current

I would love to see a merger of Pijul and Darcs again. Having two diverging patch-based approaches (one declining, one not lifting off) is not a good thing.

Note how POSIX still has SCCS as the default VCS (and it is still fine for single file commits)...

Which features would make it for you?

Fossil's new(ish) semi-automatic bidirectional interaction with Git mirrors has finally made Mercurial replaceable for me. However, it is hard to ignore that the IT world has mostly decided to settle with whatever is the most commonly

I find it weird that an article about "Unix tricks" requires the GNU bash shell.

Now that's an innovation.

sysupgrade from 6.5 works amazingly!

Right from the link: > This release is mainly a maintenance release, which contains a new GPG key for GNU ELPA packages.

Guile probably would, but Guile Emacs is not ready (yet?).

Haven't tried that in a while... Thank you.

The emacs "daemon mode" works just well to solve the latter, indeed. But the general lack of asynchronous processing can be annoying, although async.el already exists.

I don't know if it would, but I can imagine that replacing the aging Elisp interpreter would improve the situation on all systems.

Sure, Acme lacks - well: intentionally does not have - theming, font changing etc., although some modifications (like Acme2k) exist which change that. Acme is probably more about "getting things done" than about "looking good

The most flexible programmable editor is probably Acme though.

Spacemacs is disturbingly slow.

Still waiting for Guile Emacs to solve that.

Gnus is unusably slow for me. I wonder if that is related to Windows as well...
418.
by rhabarba 7y ago
The Windows GUI is a bit slow. I found that I disabled all the bars anyway though, so using the CLI version of GNU Emacs is acceptable even on Windows. YMMV

So ... only two relevant changes this time?

One of the first things I attach to every single laptop is an external keyboard. Guess why. I never have a backpack that would be too small for one of those. (I don't carry my Model M around, of course.)
