Sep 08 03:49:38 <ktbar> how do I type the pipe | in webos-terminal?
Sep 08 06:30:03 * HaDAk raises his hand and waits patiently
Sep 08 06:30:32 <ka6sox> ~asktoask
Sep 08 06:30:33 <infobot> Just ask your question and if someone's around, they'll be glad to help, if they can.
Sep 08 06:31:00 <HaDAk> >.>
Sep 08 06:31:06 * HaDAk is too tired for this :|
Sep 08 06:31:17 <ka6sox> 104 people here...someone can answer
Sep 08 06:31:29 <HaDAk> I'm trying to contribute a patch to preware, but I need to create the patch first. What's the "correct" method of creating a patch to successfully distribute it?
Sep 08 06:31:31 <ka6sox> what level of patch do we use for Patches?
Sep 08 06:31:37 <ka6sox> -p1?
Sep 08 06:32:09 <ka6sox> ...now we wait
Sep 08 06:36:22 <panda-z> HaDAk: Does `git diff` work?
Sep 08 06:37:59 <HaDAk> panda-z: erm
Sep 08 06:38:35 <HaDAk> no.
Sep 08 06:39:27 <HaDAk> or i don't know how to use it.
Sep 08 06:40:08 <panda-z> Do you create patch from a local git repo directory?
Sep 08 06:41:06 <panda-z> if so, you can git diff between two hashes
Sep 08 06:42:09 <HaDAk> i cloned the original repo, and have been making and saving my changes there. i've uploaded my changes to github. now i'm at a point where i'd like to take the changes i've made and share them.
Sep 08 06:42:19 <HaDAk> they're all synced up to github
Sep 08 06:42:55 <panda-z> git log
Sep 08 06:43:21 <panda-z> and find out the hashes BEFORE and AFTER your changes
Sep 08 06:44:53 <HaDAk> the last hash before i uploaded my updates: 77734cfbe847e2f79e0008432fb6e61cb5ca7748
Sep 08 06:45:07 <HaDAk> my last commit: ae3502a40e0c49b030c7295f5b02fcdf861ef531
Sep 08 06:45:51 <HaDAk> excellent. now what?
Sep 08 06:46:01 <panda-z> git diff 77734cfb ae3502a4 > /path/to/your/patch
Sep 08 06:50:22 <panda-z> HaDAk: does it work?
Sep 08 06:50:27 <HaDAk> it appears to have
Sep 08 06:51:07 <HaDAk> can you look over the resulting patch, to make sure it looks right and won't blow anything up?
Sep 08 06:52:31 <HaDAk> http://pastebin.com/Ap7wFijJ
Sep 08 06:52:54 <panda-z> how do you submit patch to preware?
Sep 08 06:53:06 <HaDAk> that was going to be my next question
Sep 08 06:53:48 <panda-z> lol
Sep 08 06:54:12 <panda-z> can't you open a pull request?
Sep 08 06:54:46 <HaDAk> to whom?
Sep 08 06:55:20 <panda-z> to the preware repo
Sep 08 06:56:28 <HaDAk> dunno. new to git too
Sep 08 06:56:29 <HaDAk> lol
Sep 08 06:56:47 <panda-z> where is your repo?
Sep 08 06:57:09 <HaDAk> https://github.com/skipmeister123/core-apps
Sep 08 06:59:29 <panda-z> this is core-apps repo...and what do you mean by "contribute a patch to preware"?
Sep 08 06:59:54 <HaDAk> i cloned core-apps, and made my edits to it. this is that.
Sep 08 07:00:00 <HaDAk> i also created a .patch, which is not up there
Sep 08 07:00:04 <HaDAk> it's on my desktop
Sep 08 07:00:15 <HaDAk> i wanna take the .patch on my desktop and put it in preware
Sep 08 07:01:14 <panda-z> k, i see
Sep 08 07:05:31 <panda-z> seems the patches which are created by git *cannot* applied properly with the AUSMT Scripts and GNU patch
Sep 08 07:05:44 <HaDAk> suggestion?
Sep 08 07:07:58 <ka6sox> patch portal on webos-internals wiki
Sep 08 07:09:37 <HaDAk> i found the patch portal
Sep 08 07:09:40 <HaDAk> i submitted what i've got
Sep 08 07:09:44 <HaDAk> we'll see what happens from there
Sep 08 07:09:48 <HaDAk> they may tell me to stfu
Sep 08 07:09:50 * HaDAk shrugs
Sep 08 07:09:55 <HaDAk> it's 3am. i'm sleepy time.
Sep 08 07:10:04 <panda-z> nn
Sep 08 07:12:42 <ka6sox> they won't
Sep 08 07:12:52 <ka6sox> they may tell you to fix it but they wont' say STFU
Sep 08 18:55:31 <starsoccer> hello
Sep 08 18:56:28 <starsoccer> anyone around?
Sep 08 19:13:59 <destinal> starsoccer: hello
Sep 08 19:16:14 <starsoccer> hi, im looking into making an webos based smartwatch and just wanted to see how many ppl would be interested and get some feedback
Sep 08 19:18:34 <destinal> starsoccer: sounds interesting
Sep 08 19:19:11 <destinal> these channels are pretty quiet these days, I'd probably try posting on webosnation forums to gauge overall reaction to such an idea
Sep 08 19:19:12 <starsoccer> ok.. so you like the idea or what?
Sep 08 19:19:18 <starsoccer> oo ok
Sep 08 19:19:21 <starsoccer> thanks
Sep 08 19:19:33 <destinal> starsoccer: yeah if it was reasonably priced I'd buy one to hack on it :)
Sep 08 19:19:49 <starsoccer> cool
Sep 08 19:20:04 <RagingMind> a webos app to use http://getpebble.com/  would probably be more practical
Sep 08 19:20:24 <destinal> RagingMind: yeah I was going to suggest that it may be tough competing with the price of something like pebble
Sep 08 19:21:41 <starsoccer> yea well the device wouldnt be a full fledged phone. just a smart watch. you can play games check emails and such
Sep 08 19:21:52 <starsoccer> if it was a big enough hit id think about other devices
Sep 08 19:30:27 <RagingMind> personally I don't think there's enough screen real estate to be had on a wrist-worn device.  I'd be more interested in something like pebble than I would be in a webos device on my wrist
