packaging software from git repo on conary

im read on irc channel:

[jessezh] a quick question: what should i put in 'version' for a pkg built from git snapshot?
[gxti] i like to base it on the output of 'git describe'
[gxti] for example, my current kernel tree is 'v2.6.29-rc3-56-g913d952', so for a recipe i would use 'v2.6.29_rc3_56_g913d952'
[gxti] since you can't use hyphens in version numbers
[gxti] r.macros.gitrev = r.version.replace('_', '-')
[gxti] r.addGitSnapshot('git://foo', tag='%(gitrev)s')

Good tip!

vim python support on foresight

im update few days ago the vim.. on fl:2-devel someone add the params for get the python support im only bake the changes but now i have vim with python powers....

This because the vim version on conary repo not have support of it. So the rpathians what use ? emacs ? argh!!! ( i dont like)

this make the onmicomplete awesome. and with vim-addons( zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel ) can be a replace of any IDE.

Some python code what i learned today [Iterator]:

In [1]: a = ["a","b","c"]

In [2]: b = iter(a)

In [3]: b.next()
Out[3]: 'a'

In [4]: b.next()
Out[4]: 'b'

In [5]: b.next()
Out[5]: 'c'

In [6]: b.next()

What packages its not on foresight installed ?

Today someone on irc channel of #foresight on freenode ask for how search the packages what not are on official repo. Installed on her machine.

He forget that.

So do this.

conary q --labels | grep -v conary | grep -v foresight

Or search the packages what installed from a personal-repo

conary q --labels | grep personal-repo
