pete_dushenski: gm tried 'hybrid' pick-ups, sold like 10 of em

pete_dushenski: the thing is, electric cars have to optimise aero. in the gm 'hybrid' pick-ups, the heinous 'aero' front lip spoilers completely negated the ground clearance, and therefore much of the appeal of trucks in the first place

mod6: thanks, couldn't find it on deedbot though
mod6: but this is the one
mod6: and... like i said, create a new dir, drop this script in there and run it -- but be aware that if left unchanged from the original, it'll not build alf's latest two patches in when pressing the source out.
mod6: !up PeterL
mod6: if you want it to do so, you'll need to edit this line:
mod6: ./v.pl p verbose TEST2 asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option.vpatch
mod6: and change it to this:
mircea_popescu: oh he's uysing a 9month old script. doh.
mod6: ./v.pl p verbose TEST2 asciilifeform-programmable-versionstring.vpatch
PeterL: maybe the website could include a note to not use that script? or just take it off the front page?
mod6: my apologies. what exists on the website is meant to help someone build v0.5.3.1 -- the rest of this stuff is basically as-of-yet-unreleased.
mod6: trying to get there... just a zillion things to work on :(
mircea_popescu: poor mod6
PeterL: no problem, i understand
BingoBoingo: Prolly ought to get out a 0.5.4 relase tagged, since... that database fix is necessary
ascii_butugychag: yeah the old tree is close to useless
BingoBoingo: I mean... unless we plan a future reorg back to August 2015...
BingoBoingo: !up copumpkin
BingoBoingo: Thanks to V there's no serious need to tag anything beyond the BDB fix in a release, but... Gotta tag something useful as the recommended
PeterL: does v have to be in the same directory as the buildscript?
PeterL: I tried to run the script, it just says ": invalid option"
BingoBoingo: !up PeterL
mod6: getting it resolved... he's on a i686 env.
mod6: ben_vulpes: so yah, having the keys on blogs/homepages isn't a bad idea.
mod6: but... maybe it'd be useful to put the links to our exported, ascii armored keys in the assets wiki?
mod6: that way when someone wants to get going with V, they can find the keys without having to dig through 6 blogs.
mod6: and additionally, this cuts out SKS.
