We had this discussion often enough, maybe you should search the mailing list archive before reposting? it gets boring. (maybe we should add a search-button to the archive?)

Re: [dev] Tiling windowmanager workflow (Was: [dvtm] Fibonacci layout patch)

Dunno how interesting this will be... I've recently made some changes to my workflow since I've switched a number of hefty GUI applications for CLI ones, the advantage being that they tile a lot better and so don't need dedicated tags. But I'm still far from comfortable. A key problem is that

[dev] witray: problem with two screens

Hi, I have 2 screens (controlled via nVidia twinview), and the wmii bar is on the left screen. When witray (wmii-hg2711) becomes visible (e.g. running nm-applet) it opens on the right screen, in the bottom right corner. At the same time, at the bottom of the same screen, an area screen wide and th

[dev] [9base] rc can't find .

Hi, I was running a werc+lighty+9base setup happily for a couple of days. Suddenly it started throwing 500-errors and lighty log said that rc died with signal 6. I tried running the werc.rc manually, but he throws a rather strange error: $ pwd /srv/http/wiki/bin $ rc -x werc.rc . /opt/plan9/etc/

Re: [dev] [9base] rc can't find .

werc is not meant to be called from the command line (unless you setup some kind of fake cgi environment for it). I have no clue what the problem might be, but if it worked and now it doesn't, you must have changed something. What version of 9base are you using? Also, werc has its own mailing li

[dev] stderr: unnecessary?

Does anyone else think that stderr shouldn't be used in Unix-like systems? I think that it could be replaced by stdout.

No, I just don't understand why you need a stderr when you have a stdout. Couldn't you just print your error to stdout? On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 10:54 PM, Samuel Baldwin wrote: > 2010/6/10 Matthew Bauer : > > Does anyone else think that stderr shouldn't be used in Unix-like > systems? > > I think
