ben_vulpes: "all testing" which is what we've seen to date.
mircea_popescu: of course the logical approach would be to promote to stable ml patches that were signed
mircea_popescu: which is why the fuck we evern have the complexsignature scheme in place.
mircea_popescu: plox tell me it's not one of those where everyone is waiting for me to do it first or something.
mircea_popescu: how about submiutting a "This doesn't work - don't use it" thing on the broken one
ben_vulpes: i'm all for barriers to entry here but this is a goddamn development obstacle course
ben_vulpes is struck by the eerie resemblance to $dayjaeorb here
ben_vulpes: "i don't know, let's test it during code review"
decimation: I'm still confused about this map thing. does anyone know exactly which map ascii is talking about?
decimation: this is an infinite argument amoung developers: 'repo is for good code', 'no repo is for new code as it is being written'
ben_vulpes: the fewer enforced constraints upon us, the more discipline with which we must act.
BingoBoingo: Most intimidating part of current realbitcoin is where the fuck do I submit a diff from?
ben_vulpes: last release, i'd prefer. asciilifeform tends to stack his patches atop one another.
ben_vulpes: if you're up to date on the patching, submit a patch and note its antecedents.
ben_vulpes: this makes for quite the testing nightmare. those interested in testing must reverse applied patches to your antecedent tip and then apply yours.
ben_vulpes: from experience i know that the more difficult it is to test the software, the less likely anyone is to actually do so.
ben_vulpes: but this is bitcoin, where since time immemorial people have been shipping code that can only ever be tested in production and then standing by in amazement claiming that "nobody could have predicted!"
trinque: hey yo, I made a lot of noise about process early on
trinque: then stepped back when shouted down
trinque: the patch signing is great, but it's not a process by itself
trinque: will either need tools built to support it, or will need to grab tools
trinque: I had a hell of a time figuring out where I should be re: patches, at least before giving up and using rotor instead.
ben_vulpes: "a real contributor would write all of their own tooling to solve this"
ben_vulpes: "what's so hard about applying patches to your private repository?"
ben_vulpes: "what, you want to automate this process that keeps the tards at bay?"
trinque: the barrier can be "the devs are fucking vitriolic towards laziness"
trinque: then you can you know, use a power drill
trinque: and still work with non-dickheads
ben_vulpes: "what, you want to automate the nuclear power plant?"
ben_vulpes: i'm just trying to operate within these crazy boundaries. i don't have any process improvements that i'm sure wouldn't get shot down in a new york second from asciilifeform.
ben_vulpes: *i* have a repo. *it* has a *stable* and an *experimental* branch.
trinque: I bet it's in git too, you filthy swine
ben_vulpes: how much hell would i catch for sharing this with others?
trinque: look everything's bad. bad bad bad
trinque: I watched a guy drink himself to death because you know, unix wasn't everything-is-a-table

ben_vulpes: patches and signatures in the repository itself. i'd not be averse.
ben_vulpes: i'm not critiquing your patchstacking, note.

ben_vulpes: oh don't mind me, i'm just grumpy about a frictive process
decimation: I can't think of an off-the-shelf tool that would do everything mentioned above though
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu will likely run me through the "oh you're complaining here have some more of what irks you" chipper
decimation: asciilifeform: yes but you could take that argument to 'can't use computer withou seeing registers'
decimation: it all depends on what is a reasonable risk to accept
trinque: git's binary db format is certainly *not* capable of being the canonical representation of the project
trinque: however, these are separate concerns
trinque: the ML is imo for releases, which should consist of bundles of signed patches
decimation: it would be nice to have a button to click: download the 'original tree' plus patches to get to this patch
trinque: dev is its own concern which might have other processes; you could say that a particular feature branch eventually gets flattened down into a release patch
trinque: decimation: I was thinking this might be a web app
decimation: trinque: a web page with links to whatever deedbot spits would be sufficient
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah, but the patches are a tree, not a timeline
ben_vulpes: i am now imagining all sorts of dumb things like patches contributed in ml 'threads'
decimation: plus automatics to package tarball and patches
ben_vulpes: heck, it'd be a huge improvement if /patches.html rendered in chronological order
decimation: yes, that's step one of 'we gotta invent version control too'
ben_vulpes: don't care, can operate anything made by humans
ben_vulpes: 'tis not the patches but the whole workflow
decimation: asciilifeform: for one thing, you would need to see the patch in context
decimation: which you can't get unless you have the whole repo stepped forward to the state of ap articular patch
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: the antecedents thing for one
decimation: thus, you need the whole repo state per patch
ben_vulpes: now is when i admit that i've yet to successfully compile bitcoin with rotor
ben_vulpes: tendon-snipped by "use your noggin, eedjit" instructions
ben_vulpes: no! for it is a merely a derpy directory structure issue that any sophomore can figure out
trinque: rock climbing comes to mind
trinque: sometimes you get a shitty handhold, but you don't immediately shout "fuck this!" and let go of the wall
ben_vulpes: no, for another read through and another hack at "etc. as before" will resolve this.
trinque the fatty who hasn't exercised in 6mos... talking about rock climbing...
ben_vulpes: i'll save my "eedjit points" for when i actually cannot resolve things myself.
ben_vulpes: in the meantime, know that these few hours per day *i* do have might be put to better use than derping of dirs.
decimation: asciilifeform: mapTransactions appears to be a std::map to me
decimation: maybe I can't distinguish between boost and stl
decimation: one of the annoyances of c++ is that it is strongly typed and yet devilishly hard to tell *what* type

mircea_popescu: i suspect we might be belabouring under the burdens imposed by a design problem which ultimately stems from conceptual confusion.
mircea_popescu: there are very specifically TWO things we want to do here, and they are not miscible.
mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing to work, but not able to grow a beard".
mircea_popescu: the other is MANAGE. specifically - hanbot must also be able to evaluate the theoretical advances in question.
mircea_popescu: i am perfectly aware that a fine answer to both these is "just grow a beard", which is to say, "know", knight style, just "what is going on" so that you can reboot the machine into a working state. and "know", mp style, just whop the moles are.
mircea_popescu: this is not practicable, if for no other reason then because the very earth will end up growing a beard and that'll be bad for the climate.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact, approaching the matter conversely, a straight github repository would be just fine from the M perspective if it were doubled by duly deedbotted hashes of the plaintext. and on the other hand, irrespectively how inscrutable -r content would be just fine from a U perspective, just as long as someone can somehow convert it into a plaintext they can sit down with, follow, and never be surprised.
mircea_popescu: and returning to the issue, the good quality recipes are exactly equivalent to the "wot of patches" management technique : they allow people to ride on the shoulders of giants ~of their own choice~.
mircea_popescu: this "choose your own giant" system is definitely powerful enough to take over the world, but we still gotta figure out a way to allow such seating.

mircea_popescu: this is ultimately why foss failed. yes, it did (sort of, but originally much better than currently) allow the U seating part.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, because it failed to even conceptualize the M part, let alone address it, it remained open to attack which the us first probed (with its corporate tentacles, ms etc) and then crushed, with its agency teeth.
mircea_popescu: the reason this was possible is fortunately very easy to fix, once we understood what the hole was.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, a purely M wot will eventually fail, no matter how effectual or powerful it is (and it is, ftr, factually) on the financial side
mircea_popescu: what do you think all this "software for the people" kick is ?
mircea_popescu: stalin despised the peasant, and the usg despises the scum we despise, equally if not moreso.
mircea_popescu: but just as the saying goes, past performance is no guarantee of future success. that we readily crushed the "omai, bigger blocks" initiative, like all "initiatives" to date does not offer any guarantee we'll manage next time.
mircea_popescu: the stator saving of the continuity feeling was too narrow for my liking.
mircea_popescu: when you have a phd assembly line, the problem is not "insufficient phds"
mircea_popescu: hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces <
mircea_popescu: and hanbot must also be able to evaluate the theoretical advances in question., inseparable.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell hanbot so is the node up ? where ? is there a recipe-from-own-eyes somewhere ? where ?
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 21:50:52; hanbot: ascii_field hanbot, what are the remaining issues? << rotor.sh sez:
http://thewhet.net/han/rotorfail.txt (no patches) meanwhile mod6 has made progress on RI on ubuntu so still working on "manual" stator build.
mircea_popescu: in fact, "still working" a week later is its own precious sort of failure, srsly.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the idea here is specifically that we want you to be in a position where the plane and chalkboard perspective doesn't loom.
mircea_popescu: so basically, help me out here. this should be a website which maintains a code tree and a signature tree ?
mircea_popescu: can we just design the thing, if for no other reason then for the exercise, and then see what already exists and if we like it ?
mircea_popescu: ok, gefuxexperiment. suppose you get hit in the head, and go into a coma.
mircea_popescu: suppose you come back in 2025. suppose we've been living and thriving though this time.
mircea_popescu: you go to the ML, and lo, there's 1`677`321 messages in there.
mircea_popescu: suppose you can't read at the pace new ones get added.
mircea_popescu: looky here : i am a magical witch doctor that can spot where cancer starts.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i never objected to folks using 'git', 'mercurial', etc. - only to the notion that <
mircea_popescu: reproduction is the work of man, and reproduction has TO DATE taken over 2 million strokes. today.
mircea_popescu: if you design your thing like reproduction works, do not be surprised.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to it : in ordere to ever reach 0 kelvin, you must use at least some elements that provably reduce temperature.
mircea_popescu: atm we're veering dangerously close to the old -dev process, where they just shat magic stones.
mircea_popescu: i don't even fully understand wtf hole we're filing. tho i think i understand a lot better right now than 3 hours ago.
mircea_popescu: no, if you look at the history with open eyes it's quite clear we had this problem on back for a while now.
mircea_popescu: i swear this is a problem that's structural and should be solved, rather than just pushed against.
jurov: structural? ohmy mircea's going to ban something :D
jurov: but srs, i have asked for patches context, was sent to go scour the log for it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i bet you dollars to anything that the reason you don't get deluged in that is simply that moist folks are too interdicted by the task to even attempt, soi we don't hear about 99% of compat issues
mircea_popescu: and the last we heard of davout he was told exactly the same, and for all i know he's fallen in there never to be heard from again
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 18:51:53; davout: second kid arrived, private pilot license in progress 70% pretty much sums it up :-)
mircea_popescu: lemme state apropos of nothing that if you blame people for process not only are you an incredibly bad manager, but your organisation will fail, and in so doing give everyone a sigh of relief.
mircea_popescu: question : what if we ran this to look more like a wiki than a mailing list ?
punkman just realizes he forgot to post working debug_sanity revision
mircea_popescu: jurov what do you think about switching to mediawiki ?
punkman: dokuwiki is a better candidate
punkman: kako uses it on bitcoin-assets wiki as well
jurov: i use dokuwiki for some stuff, too. and it can be authed only once per seesion like assbot
mircea_popescu: in practice, it'd prolly be more practical to transition deedbot and its site to this job i think
jurov: i see it as minor change. majur obstacle is how to sanely track stuff who released, who signed
jurov: mere switch to wiki won't solve it
mircea_popescu: jurov what if the only way to add an edit is "deedbot pastebin/soandso" ?
punkman: with some metadata in diff files, we could have a script that creates a branched git repo entirely out of signed patch files
mircea_popescu: this is where im headed. have the syntax as a burden ON THE WRITER
mircea_popescu: not on the fucken reader. prolly 2/3 of our problem as is
mircea_popescu: so : you wanna contribute, use this and that markup, then rest is done by itself.
mircea_popescu: (reason is that stuff's written once, read many times)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's what i want to accomplish, as a goal : i want to be able to put up a linux system, then go curl
http://trilema.com/autobitcoin.sh | gpg -verify > autobitcoin.sh. and then run that autobitcoin.sh, which auto-follows the changes of people i have selected for this task, builds them and runs them
mircea_popescu: and the only time i hear of any peep from the entire shebang is when one of them has gone over and i need to come in here and start with the !rate -10
mircea_popescu: and i know this can be done because it's how fucking viruses work.
jurov: is adding "applies-to" a problem?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually a hashed diff / patch-util is a must irrerspective of anything else.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how come it doesn't exist. must be a switch
jurov: though, with this in-band signalling we will limit ourselves to patch format
jurov: there may be ned to publish other signed artifacts
jurov: like chicken.tar.gz was
mircea_popescu: in fact, if you ask diana_coman, she recently delivered a bot for eulora client, and i had her make me diffs.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how you folks understand code otherwise, might be that i'm rusty or inept, but anyway.
jurov: diana_coman: you actually tried to apply the diffs?

jurov: yes. far cry from just running some .sh
diana_coman: yes jurov, I did verify it, applied it etc
diana_coman: it took me half an hour only, but yeah, I did not have to re-read the code or anything
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how do they handle the "armored"/asciifucks issue ?
jurov: by running gpg --decrypt on clearsigned text
jurov: i like it. to be able to remove files without dumping whole contents, patch should be patched, too
mircea_popescu: this all makes me feel a lot better about my life expectancy.
mircea_popescu: also i'd like to keep this conversation open, for all the folks whose time is not day atm yet.

trinque: mircea_popescu | asciilifeform and mod6 and mebbe we have trinque do the graph << I'm in; seems like yet another static site generator job
trinque: and I can modify deedbot- however it helps; he already statically generates his site, perhaps he could interpret metadata in certain deeds and take action
mircea_popescu: the biggest headache to date for jurov/users of ml seems to have been the mailing itself. i wonder how much sense simply deedbotting messages would make.
mircea_popescu: this readily enforces the two restraings we want enforced, which is : a) wot restricted and b) signed permanently.
jurov: mircea_popescu: deedbot has currently even less friendly archives than mailman
shinohai: But not connecting to anyone at all isn't
jurov: email was chosed because it allows for structured text + attachments. not sure how to do it with deedbot
trinque: to date I've tried to keep it simple, hence the deeds are plain textfiles linked to by a single index
trinque: no reason I can't add some html nav around that a la dpaste
jurov: yes the signed email + extra signed attachs is a kludge
jurov: there must be better system to put together few files + text that already has crypto or can be extended easily
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 49485 @ 0.00053671 = 26.5591 BTC [-]
trinque: the way git handles this is that "everything's a Blob" then "some Blobs are a Tree which points to n Blobs which may be Trees or Blobs"
trinque: you could implement the data structures needed for VCS atop deedbot in a similar manner
trinque: one thing that would be needed on my end is a saner URL for a given deed; it needs to just be the hash
jurov: how would it look for user? got a .txt, a .patch , now what?
trinque: so, git does it this way: there are Blobs, which are a k/v pair of which the k is the hash of the v; blobs can be one of: Reference, Commit, Tree, Blob
jurov: (currently on has to clearsign the .txt, make detached armored sig for .patch and use non-braindamaged email client to put them together)
trinque: I probably missed one, and they also divide into further classifications, ref for example can be a tag, branch, stash
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 125000 @ 0.00053491 = 66.8638 BTC [-] {3}
trinque: so if you say did the structured data in the "blobs" as sexps you could sign that text easily
trinque: and then maybe deedbot farts out additional nav controls on the html versions of these interesting deeds with a particular sexp in them
punkman: drowning in rube goldberg?
trinque: implementing a VCS isn't rocket science; it's just a matter of getting the abstractions right
punkman: I don't want another VCS system. I just need a way to import patches in my existing VCS.
trinque: sure, and that's another thought
trinque: wrap git or mercurial or something in hooks which enforce the constraints desired
trinque: the requirement that signed and deeded patches be the primary representation of a contribution great appeal though, for obvious reasons
Adlai mumbles something about darcs
trinque: I mean they all can, but well?
Adlai: ootb, signed patches. deeding signed patches from darcs is less work than doing so from git etc
trinque: sounds worth investigating

punkman: I grabbed a random Ada book last week, it was awful. need to look again

mod6: so I've looked at deedbot.org
mod6: and I like the site, and the bitchin motif
mod6: i also like how it lines up the signatures to a specific hash horizontally
mod6: if our idea is to clearsign patches and then submit them to deedbot, i urge you all to review this email and consider why that doesn't work:
mod6: now, it might be that I'm not exactly understanding what the proceedure for submitting to deed bot would be. but if clearsigned .patch files, that can not work.
trinque: mod6: heh I did the site with a nod to the foundation's
trinque: mod6: as for how deedbot- might be used, not clearly defined yet
mod6: trinque: i think it's awesome :]
mod6: will deedbot take 2 parameters, a non-signed .patch file and a detached signature and somehow colese them?
trinque: thought gpg could wad a sig and a file together in other ways than clearsign
ascii_field: even worse, imho, in every respect, than ml
punkman: you can also --armor --sign instead of clearsign
mod6: ascii_field: im simply referring to the converstaion from this morning
trinque: I gotta depart to a meeting, but to summarize I have no strong opinion that deedbot is the solution
trinque: was merely saying I am willing to put in the work *should* deedbot- be some part of it
ben_vulpes: we're just exploring the possibility space here
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 108450 @ 0.00053321 = 57.8266 BTC [-] {3}
mod6: i've been thinking alot about the ML issues that have been brought up lately. and lastnight I bascially came up with: Mailing list A: for all submissions testing or experimental or otherwise.. Mailing list B: for accepted, signed and released patches, in order. And jurov's /patch.html (or w/e its called) should draw from there.
trinque: danielpbarron: punkman has it; --armor --sign
mod6: danielpbarron: we're not talking about encryed docs
trinque: and then yeah decrypt on the other end
trinque: danielpbarron: yeah but you can do a sig in similar fashion
trinque: where it's a wad o... what, base64?
punkman: yeah it's a base64 blob that includes file and signature when you --sign --armor
danielpbarron: what about this: gzip the patch and clearsign that
mod6: see, we could uu encode stuff or gzip stuff or do any number of things, but then it's far less readable "as-is"
mod6: and i thought that was kinda one of the requirements.
ben_vulpes: mod6: not that my browser will do anything with the patch files but download them.
mod6: that's fine, but what if I just wanna look through the submitted patches in deedbot? i now have to do a bunch of extra gyrations to even see the text
punkman: I just mentioned it as an easy way to make deeds out of patches
danielpbarron: deedbot isn't where you go to read it all; it's where you go to verify it all
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> there's always /patches.html... << sure if it's readable.
mod6: what about for unsigned new submissions?
punkman: (or deeds out of binaries)
mod6: and there are 75`000 people and 50 submissions per day?
mod6: could be scripted i suppose... but just sayin
mod6: punkman: taking it back to the earlier premise.

mod6: punkman: <+mod6> <+ben_vulpes> there's always /patches.html... << sure if it's readable. <+mod6> what about for unsigned new submissions?
mod6: how does anything get into /patch.html ?
ben_vulpes: i recommend spinning up an aws gentoo instance. i've given up on macos support for this project.
mod6: it first must be signed.
n6: I will try that, thanks.
ben_vulpes: n6: i understand that this is not a welcome message.
mod6: and /patch.html imho should not draw off of just any submission, only signed submissions from ben, myself and the author.
mod6: it still doesn't help me view a base64 encoded submission to the deedbot
ben_vulpes: n6: d'you plan to get into the wot as well?

jurov: mod6 please look at bigget picture, nto jsut to this one step
mod6: i'd like to make something better, this is for sure. just whatever it is, i wanna know that it is better, not just sideways.
punkman: 30 pages in, "Ada for Software Engineers", the code examples look gnarly
jurov: turdatron needs to take bundles of patch + manifest (at least, can be any other files aside from patches)
jurov: and metadata what the patch applies on
jurov: question is, how to do this all better?
mod6: good question. not sure that i have any useful answers here at this time.
mod6: other than what I already talked about and that's not really better either.
mod6: i guess im just trying to picture in my mind how i would have to use, step by step, the proposed system every single day.
mod6: and if those proposed steps are easier/better than what we currently hvae.
jurov: maybe we end up all using a script to put the package together and sign it.. but in this case it can just output an email message to be just fed to sendmail
jurov: or if someone come up with less turdy format than MIME
mod6: <+jurov> mod6 please look at bigget picture, nto jsut to this one step << i think partly ... my general concern is my understanding of how this proposed system would work. this concern is based on the fact that when the current system was proposed, i had the oppertunity to speak out and put in my say in the matter, but I didn't understand it so I don't think I objected very much. and now look at where we are.
mod6: so before I say "yup, that's it, that's the thing that gets us to where we want to be", i want to fully understand what I'm agreeing to use.
ascii_field: colour me thick, but i still don't get where the 'crisis' is
jurov: so you still not understand what's this all about?
ascii_field: yes, i agree with mircea_popescu re: how patches should embed hash of antecedent file. and imho this solves whatever problem exists (that is, enables it to be solved locally by any participant, in the style he prefers)
ascii_field: while preserving the simultaneously total and minimal representation of .patch
mod6: I think I need to see a concrete example of this - end to end. I just can't picutre it mentally.
jurov: yes that one is solved. but deedbot can be used only if clearsigned and without any accompanying text
jurov: mod6 you have seen alf's patch with embedded sha512 example?
jurov: if yes we can start from there
mod6: ok and that sha512 hash is of the file /before/ the changes were made resulting in the patch?
mod6: (the unchanged original file)
mod6: ok. will diff take that and run it and ignore that first line with the hash?
jurov: no, must roll ou our won diff/patch
mod6: it does now, or it will because we must now reinvent diff/patch ?
ascii_field: what it won't do is take the hash into account when patching
ascii_field: that requires either modified 'patch' util, or wrapped in perl etc
jurov: but it's universally usable to (1) determine what version patch applies to (2) allows to remove files without listing whole contents
mod6: ok forget that im still confused for a moment because im dumb, and maybe I'll just get it in a few minutes...
ascii_field: this magic pill lets you take a bag of patches, and determine in what order they apply
mod6: how do we reconsile this with the patches already created/applied
punkman: or can start from next release
mod6: so everyone else from the beginning of time (october 24th 2014) must resign all patches?
mod6: i need to re-read all of the logs from today and have a nice long "think" about it.
hanbot: mod6: ;;later tell hanbot ping me when you get a chance plz. thx! << heya, i've got one
ben_vulpes: poor mod6 can't catch a break around here

ascii_field: mod6: i'm willing to re-create all of mine
ascii_field: mod6: in the interest of maintaining the 'tree from beginning of the world' thing
ascii_field: which a robotic graphatron could then walk
mod6: i kinda like what i heard about that earlier.
mod6: i gotta think about it a bit
trinque: putting the information to construct the tree in the patches themselves has a nice decentralized nature to it
mod6: <+ascii_field> mod6: i'm willing to re-create all of mine << ok no rush here. lemme just re-read and think about all of these things for a bit.

mircea_popescu: but i guess the consensus is pointing towards, ml gets restated with antecedents, trinque writes a grapher for it all ?
jurov: so, ml can stay as is (without filename mutilation)?
ascii_field: that was my original suggestion earlier, yes
ascii_field: it would make it possible for, e.g., hanbot, to view the 'patchchain' cleanly
ascii_field: and ask meaningful questions about branches
jurov: plus it will detect (and optionally show decoded )clearsigned patches?
mircea_popescu: and ideally, have it spit out a "final version" with regressions accessible through some procedure (clicking)
ascii_field: jurov: the problem is that gpg 'escaping' is not a reversible operation
ascii_field: in that it is impossible for the machine to determine that a particular '- -' is to be transformed into a '-' or not
ascii_field: the 'escape' operation is thermodynamically lossy.
mod6: ascii_field: so does `gpg --decrypt` work for that as danielpbarron & jurov said?
jurov: well, if gpg can't undo it and it causes the patch to fail...then it fails.
jurov: sender will have to resend with detached sig
mod6: <+danielpbarron> can't you unmutilate by using gpg --decrypt ? <+jurov> mod6 just do gpg --decrypt and it undoes it
mod6: ok then we're settled.
mod6: i guess for me thats the one big thing, we can't have any mutilation of the patch files. or we'll just find ourselves banging our heads all the time.
jurov: it computes shasums of everything submitted already
mircea_popescu: i just tried this... it doesn't mutilate on encrypt/decrypt
mod6: and honestly, this is no poor reflection on deedbot. the thing is cool.
ascii_field: that's because the output of 'encrypt' is a base64 turd that isn't expected to coexist with text the way a clearsigned string is.
jurov: as with xorg buffer, i'm curious, will see if anyone submits something with valid sig that gpg fails to unescape.

mircea_popescu: tbh an equivalent of the callgraph / mike's wot graph but for PATCHES would not be amiss.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: to be clear, that is precisely what i had in mind when suggested the hash embed thing
mircea_popescu: have all the wot listed on the side. have all the patches AS A TREE listed next to it. have relations from wot tyo patches.
jurov: can enlist trinque or anyone's help with graphics
mircea_popescu: so basically ml as restateds + grapher in the sense of the above, svg (clickable) is really the definitive word on this ?
jurov: clickable svg *gasp* :D
ascii_field: (when i said 'graph walker' earlier today)
mircea_popescu: trinque and with a bonus "click here for this patch" and "click here for this patch + all its antecedents" spew.

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 ^ give that a long think. << i like this idea with the wot graph + source patches as a tree next to it so relations can be easily seen & drilled into.

Will it need to reference anothe deedbot submission or does the patch have to come after our statment in the clearsigned message?
jurov: you can just submit both at once
jurov: or otherwise suggest to deedbot they're related
ascii_field: throw message prior to the first 'diff ....' in the ,patch
ascii_field: but for the record i think this 'cram all in one file' thing is braindamaged.
mod6: im not ciked about that either.
ascii_field: throw hashes in deedbot, sure. or even uuencodes. but to make it a canonical repository of anything else, is a microscope-hammer.

ascii_field: there is not a 1:1 mapping between sigs & patches
mod6: well and probably error prone if he/she has to cut the upper text out just to get down to "bare" patch to re-clearsign and submit to deedbot... could miss line, something bad.

mircea_popescu: "If you can write 'if' in FORTH, then why restrict 44 yourself to the usual if/while/for/switch constructs? You want a construct that iterates 45 over every other element in a list of numbers? You can add it to the language."

assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 01:37:28; asciilifeform: phun phakt: 'scheme' programming language has its 'call-with-current-continuation', perhaps the oddest and 'most generic' control structure known, which takes the current place in execution and turns it into an assignable (yes) closure (i.e. callable function!) -- typically it is implemented using setjmp().

mod6: ok so was kinda thinking about something here... so we all love to hate the mailing list in a way - but it's a decent spot to post new things, experimental, SoBAs etc. But it's not good for keeping track of patches that /actually/ are accepted and a part of a given "release".
mod6: but what if we then, say, at the end of a testing/release cycle were to (instead of signing or as well as posting to the mailing list) post the plaintext patch and a detach signature from the originating author, myself & ben to deedbot as a perm storage for these patches?
mod6: trinque thinks this might be able to be implemented without moving heaven and earth
mircea_popescu: "Good Forth programmers reportedly don't use much of those. Good Forth programmers arrange things so that they flow on the stack. " this is mel redivivus innit. most pessimum!
mod6: oh, i think he was saying that he would need to implement accepting a second argument and making it so that the URL contains a hash of the original plaintext patch.
trinque: mircea_popescu: he's considering a case where the thing would be able to accept new detached sigs for existing deeds
BingoBoingo thinks whole problem is that 'patch' demands line numbers instead of using nearby lines of code as landmarks
mod6: that way it sort of also solves the problem of keeping track of who signed which patch. since deedbot stores these sigs in a horizontal fashion next to the address.
trinque: that calls for a second screen which would group by deed and list the sigs
mod6: i guess this thought was sort of a work in progress.
mod6: maybe something can be added? like trinque is saying? i dunno.
punkman: BingoBoingo: it does use nearby lines
trinque: neat thought; I can see something useful there for contracts generally
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. i both read this before and i broadly agree with the man.
trinque: punkman: yup that's precisely what's being discussed
mod6: so i guess all in all, the deedbot solution, if it can be created, seems better than my initial proposal of 2 mailing lists; one for everything, one for patches accepted only. which seems simple as well, but now we have to manage two lists.
mod6: on the other side of the coin, if we do something like this with deedbot, we need to ensure a mirror is always available.
punkman: I don't see how deeding patches helps with what started this discussion
mircea_popescu: "Bacteria have no junk in their DNA. " << very false, actually. percent-wise, the junk-in-dna is perhaps the most stable parameter of life in general

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> moreover, it just puts you in harm's way mod6. << well. not all patches, just ones that we've signed off on anyway.
mod6: no different than what we're already doing.
mod6: i just figured it was a neato way to keep the patches that we sign separate from the rest of the heap of stuff.
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 01:59:06; *: BingoBoingo thinks whole problem is that 'patch' demands line numbers instead of using nearby lines of code as landmarks
trinque: one tangle is the lack of clear separation of problems in the conversation.
mod6: but i see your point.
trinque: you've got "who signed this patch" and also "what is the parent node patch of this patch"
punkman: asciilifeform: but it does fuzz
trinque: I actually grow to like the wiki suggestion best for the patch tree
BingoBoingo: And somehow 9 comment spammers made it through DDoS
trinque: need to document process at a step? go for it, it's a damn wiki

assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 21:50:41; mircea_popescu: but i guess the consensus is pointing towards, ml gets restated with antecedents, trinque writes a grapher for it all ?
