what are your plans beyond forge?
15:03:59
shinmera
I'm already in talks with Eric Timmons to integrate with clpm.
15:07:39
shinmera
But I would ultimately like a C module to build my foreign deps in the same chain.
15:08:37
selwyn
i can already see a last read line on here?
15:08:56
shinmera
sure but it doesn't sync
15:09:14
shinmera
if you were connecting to lichat from another client, you wouldn't see it.
15:10:05
shinmera
both of these features are really small things that aren't really necessary, but would bridge the gap between this and something like discord a bit more still.
15:11:30
selwyn
not a fan of electronware
15:12:06
shinmera
discord sucks for many reasons
15:12:28
shinmera
SAL9000: oh, right, another feature that's already in is search
15:13:03

aha. well, we have the example of /grep on the weechat side :-)

suppose i am somewhat used to cli from my emacs experience
15:20:53
shinmera
Yeah I was thinking it would open up a new buffer with the results
15:21:06
selwyn
i do like the appeal of simply having something on tmux and it's always an ssh connection away
15:26:18
shinmera
Also here's something I've been thinking about re build systems
15:26:40
shinmera
I feel like stuff like maintainer, author, license, etc. are things that don't really belong into a build definition
15:27:44
shinmera
so, so far I've not been including them in Forge's "project" object
15:43:41
selwyn
imo risky to assume that all of those things don't belong in a build definition
15:44:02
shinmera
why would they belong in a build def?
15:44:19
selwyn
what if you want to do some ci, and if a build fails then the maintainer is emailed
15:45:00
selwyn
seems plausible for a build to contain some contact details then
15:45:42
shinmera
that seems like it belongs in the ci
15:45:59
shinmera
the build system has no buiseness emailing
15:46:20
shinmera
wow I butchered that word, good job me
15:47:52
selwyn
autonomous ai build system
15:48:58
shinmera
I think I'm fine having forge not tackle that particular issue
15:49:49
selwyn
well, i can't think of anything else
15:50:27
shinmera
one thing is stuff like quickdocs that aggregates info
15:50:48
shinmera
but again I feel like it should be smarter and get that info elsewhere, instead of relying on the build system to cover it
15:52:16
selwyn
does forge do anything for docs? does it integrate with staple?
15:52:28
shinmera
I'd hope so at some point.
15:52:44
shinmera
integrating with tests and docgen is one thing I've wanted for a while.
15:54:01
selwyn
just realised that doxygen is a play on words combining documentation and oxygen
16:09:04
selwyn
what made you develop forge in the end
16:10:13
shinmera
modding system for kandria
16:10:30
shinmera
needed something that was stable in the presence of a running system and also stable in the presence of a target machine that's not the source machine
16:10:34
shinmera
ASDF struggles in obth regards
16:11:24
shinmera
and also version constraitns
16:12:40
selwyn
even though it is not finished yet i admire your ambition/scope
16:13:26
shinmera
given how many of my projects end up as broken unstable messes, I'm not sure how much there is to admire :)
