Stuff that could make work on Emacs itself more smooth.
* Changelog
** Action stamps
I don't know any function to
1. generate them from a Git commit, a *vc-change-log* buffer…
2. convert them back to a Git commit, a *vc-diff* buffer…
They can almost be generated with:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
git show --no-patch \
--date=format:"%FT%T%z" \
--format=format:"%ad!%ae"
#+END_SRC
Except that [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339][RFC3339]] says:
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
time-numoffset = ("+" / "-") time-hour ":" time-minute
#+END_QUOTE
While ~%z~ yields "+hhmm" or "-hhmm". Also [[http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=3872][ESR wants Zulu time]].
See also
- bug#20609
- https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-09/msg00252.html
This monstrosity does the job:
#+begin_src elisp
(defun my/revision-at-point ()
(cond
;; TODO: add vc support.
((derived-mode-p 'magit-mode)
(magit-branch-or-commit-at-point))))
(eval-when-compile
;; Load rx's pcase pattern.
(require 'rx))
(defun my/action-stamp-at-point (rev)
(interactive
(list
(let* ((rev (my/revision-at-point))
(prompt (if rev (format "Revision? (%s) " rev) "Revision? ")))
(read-string prompt nil nil rev))))
(let* ((cmd "git show --no-patch --date=unix --format='%ad!%ae'")
(git-info (shell-command-to-string (format "%s %s" cmd rev))))
(pcase git-info
((rx (let timestamp-str (+ digit))
"!"
(let mail (+ anychar))
"\n")
(let* ((timestamp (string-to-number timestamp-str))
(date (format-time-string "%FT%TZ" timestamp t))
(action-stamp (format "%s!%s" date mail)))
(kill-new action-stamp)
(message action-stamp))))))
#+end_src
ESR's =git stamp= alias in [[https://gitlab.com/esr/reposurgeon/-/blob/4.5/reposurgeon-git-aliases][reposurgeon]]:
#+begin_src conf
# git stamp <commit-ish> - print a reposurgeon-style action stamp
# This always goes to the committer. It would be better to look at thwe author
# timestamp first and fall back to commmitter, because the author stamp because
# doesn't change when patches are replayed onto a repository, while the commit
# stamp will.
stamp = show -s --format='%cI!%ce'
#+end_src
This alias seems to confirm my feeling that Zulu time is not worth
bothering with: ISO 8601 is just as machine-parseable, and the
timezone bit actually conveys meaning to a human reader.
* Bug tracker
** Asynchronous client
It would be wonderful if ~debbugs-gnu~ and ~debbugs-gnu-search~ used
their own thread/process to wait & process the server's response,
instead of forcing me to twiddle my thumbs for minutes.
** Attachment management
Thanks to Bob Proulx, I learned that one can
1. send attachments to nnn-quiet@debbugs.gnu.org,
2. (for large attachments, wait for moderation,)
3. go to https://debbugs.gnu.org/nnn and grab the URLs for the
attachments,
4. send a followup mentioning these URLs to nnn@debbugs.gnu.org.
When compared to simply attaching files to one's messages, this
ensures (1) only large attachments get moderated: reports and patches
keep flowing freely (2) mail clients do not stall while browsing
threads, since messages sent to -quiet are not forwarded to the
mailing list.
It'd be neat if Debbugs had a way to automate the -quiet attachment
trick, e.g.
- send some attachments to nnn-attach@debbugs.gnu.org,
- Debbugs then sends a mail to nnn@debbugs.gnu.org saying:
#+begin_example
John Doe <jdoe@gnu.org> attached:
config.log (150 kB) <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=nnn;filename=config.log…>
repro.sh (400 B) <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=nnn;filename=repro.sh…>
#+end_example
([[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-debbugs/2020-07/msg00004.html][help-debbugs thread]])
* Mailing lists
** Message IDs
*** Summary buffer → Message-ID
#+begin_src elisp
(kill-new (mail-header-message-id (gnus-summary-article-header)))
#+end_src
*** TODO Message-ID → HTTP archive
- <https://lists.gnu.org>:
#+begin_example
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi
?query=%2Bmessage-id:<$MESSAGE_ID>
&submit=Search!
&idxname=$LIST
#+end_example
- public-inbox: trivial
*** TODO HTTP archive → Message-ID
- <https://lists.gnu.org>: cf. =X-Message-Id= comment in HTML
