Not an XMPP question, but since we're all a bunch of nerds here: does anyone have any experience with developing a software project based on a union mount of a project, and a directory that holds the changes to be applied? Basically a weird way to develop a 'fork'?

why would you want to do this?

also, there is xmpp:programming@chat.cluxia.eu?join :)

to keep the modifications to a project separate from the original project

Openfire had a concept of 'overlays', which was initially developed as a way to apply custom theming to the UI - but quickly grew useful, as you could "overlay" basically all code. With a migration away from Apache Ant a few years ago, that solution became unusable. People are asking for a replacement.

I've got a basic setup working, but I was wondering (hoping) that someone would have some practical experience. Things are bound to be funny with metadata like git's, etc.

Guus, isn’t that that what version control is typically for?

so ive added the TigaseSwift.xcodeproj to my project

And after importing TigaseSwift in a ViewController and build my app

i get the error

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS13.0.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/HTMLparser.h:15:10: 'libxml/xmlversion.h' file not found

jonas’ version control doesn't really separate a baseline from its changes, in the way that you can easily separate them again / replace the original - unless you start to do rebasing of changes or somesuch.

(sorry nykb - I have on clue how to address that)

Guus Thank may be someone else may have a clue

Got it

just need to add $(SDK_DIR)/usr/include/libxml2 to your Header in search paths

Guus, yes. make a branch, put your changes on it, rebase it onto upstream master as needed

that’s much saner than dealing with the weirdness an overlay or unionfs would do to your version control

for instance, the version control knows what you’re doing so you can tell it to pull in upstream changes instead of staring blankly at you

Given the enormously of development done on that branch (with many branches of its own), I don't think that this approach will be workable

okay. report back how much pain the unionfs gives.

I’ve found that approach to work even for substantial changes

Sounds like even quilt would be better

quilt?

https://linux.die.net/man/1/quilt

Did I just leave the channel briefly?

(I expect the answer is no)

MattJ: do you MSN?

True, I do

You can guess what bug I just encountered ;)

quilt is essentially what you’d have when you did the branch thing I suggested, except in bare files and probably less usable during rebase situations

MattJ: you can guess who can fix it ;)

My first guess is.... you

Then we aren't speaking of the same bug, are we?

Possibly not. I just had the one where yaxim sends type=chat to the room

Got an error bounce, had to edit and resend and it worked

MattJ: the one I couldn't reproduce where you didn't send me XML yet?

That one

That doesn't count, as I haven't seen XML yet.

My speculation back then was that it might be related to weird uppercase in your room JID

I don't think that's the case. If it helps, it happened when sharing from another app... I feel like that may be related, but I could be wrong, and yes I owe you XML

It has happened to me a lot when sending uploads

MattJ: that's an interesting new data point

MattJ: do you have errored rooms in your "roster"?

Ge0rG: I do, many. Some reporting timeouts despite being on the same server as me

MattJ: are those timeouts also issues of yaxim?

or of mod_csi?

Hmm, most of the rooms say no response since 7:42am, which is likely the time I disabled flight mode on my phone this morning

having multiple errored MUCs is probably a multiplier of race conditions when accessing the mucJIDs map

Fun

no response is a different thing from errored out

Ok

Then no, I don't think I see any with errors right now

Hello

Using the IOS client

Message : <message xml:lang='en' to='yaw@yetsix.com/9162781585763495583110' from='edward@yetsix.comm' type='error'> <error type='cancel' code='404'> <remote-server-not-found xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/> <text xml:lang='en' xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'>DNS lookup failed: non-existing domain</text> </error>

finding it hard to understand why im getting this error

im very new to xmpp

".comm" doesn't seem very valid

Hmm very true

<error type='cancel' code='503'> <service-unavailable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/> </error>

now i get that after fixing comm
