Dim version control

#1 Post by Lobster »

Barry mentioned the possibility of including this in the Devx.sfs
http://barryk.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01191

I downloaded and had a brief look
At the moment everything is done from the command line
and I have no idea what I am doing (no change there)

It seems that at present you create a dir (jobdir)
add the one dim script and then run some commands
Full details in the readme
I found putting ./ in front of the dim commands was required
I got multiple errors during the download from the server procedure

Be interested what those with more experience and knowledge of such systems :)

I was put off downloading just yet it because of its lack to symlink, this was also mentioned by another user on Barry's blog. I do not know enough as to whether this will make any difference in its use.

I recently discovered Bky - very similar to Dim (it is also a bash script)
http://triptico.com/download/bky-1.1.1.tar.gz

There are a bunch of other amazing (and small) utilities there by Angel Ortega, from the Minimum Profit tabbed text editor with macro support to complete gaming engines
http://triptico.com/software/

I highly recommend checking them out.

Edit: forgot to mention support for symlinks (it is actually required ... in other words Angel doesn't cater to windows users)
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].
