[dev] [announce] rat - ridiculously abysmal tar

2012-11-06 Thread Andreas Krennmair
Hello everyone, Yesterday, out of frustration and boredom, I started a minimalistic implementation of tar in Go which I named rat ('tar' reversed, but also 'ridiculously abysmal tar'). Today, I reached a point where I can show that piece of software to you. It currently supports the tar oper

[dev] [st] line drawing?

2012-11-06 Thread Stephen Paul Weber
I just upgraded my st install to latest tip, and now all the line drawing characters (such as in mutt) are a lowercase 'd'. This seems suboptimal. Older st versions had stuff in config.h for configuring these, but that seems gone now. What is the right way to fix this? -- Stephen Paul Weber

For what it's worth, I'd submitted a patch (attached) to Gottox, the guy who wrote sltar, which added creation support, but he never wound up applying it. With that, and pipes to gzip, or bzip2, you can have all the tar functionality you know and love. But, at the same time, plan9 tar works well,

Back in the '90s many companies bragged about the "thousands and thousands of lines of code in X or Y program". You seldom see those nowadays being that announcing the lines of codes is equivalent of announcing how much bloat there is in their code. Honestly, a good program does not have to be
