asciilifeform: ftr i tried mod6's 'Version: 99994 K', and my old workhorse v100.
asciilifeform: i'd like to press this thing and put it in service already...
asciilifeform: diana_coman, mircea_popescu , et al -- plox to reveal what you pressed this tree with , thx
asciilifeform: and yes i separated out the sha patches.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf nm, distinguished by hand... but my vtron doesn't verify the sigs (not immediately sure why) and mod6's -- sees only Leaf: vtools_vpatch_newline.vpatch (phf)
asciilifeform: unlike some folx (as late as '16 some confessed to git ) asciilifeform does not use heathen versiontrons internally, strictly 100% v from aug '15☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly like most folx who actually work on proggies, asciilifeform has '9000' vtrees on various disk, on various boxen, that are in classical format, and many not even intended for publication, the ones that see daylight naturally will become newtype☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ideally i simply switch vtron to phf's and it's omnivorous.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly (see above) this is imagined headache, i'ma see
asciilifeform: i'ma be quite impressed if he wrestles that crate from orchell
asciilifeform: would rather switch wholesale to phf's, since it apparently performs to satisfaction of diana_coman
asciilifeform: phf: i'm not especially attached to my ancient v, it suffered from several obvious sharp edges
asciilifeform: ( for that matter , i could use standalone keccaktron also, but dun recall whether we have one or it needs baking )
asciilifeform: really the barbaric sha2 has lived out its life☟︎
asciilifeform: mod6: i've been using my orig vtron all this time. but recently diana_coman & mircea_popescu prodded, 'what's yer excuse for not moved to modern keccak-v' and i had no good counter, it's really time, so nao gotta actually uncrate phf's and make it go
asciilifeform: i'ma wait an' see what mircea_popescu says re subj
asciilifeform: and incidentally i flatly refuse to have keccak patches on my box that are not outwardly distinguishable from old v. i'ma either use .v extension, or if mircea_popescu entirely hates, i'ma stuff e.g. asciilifeform_keccak in the names ( names currently not constrained by anybody )☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what's the fastest way to do this ? ( i.e. do you recall whether phf published his converter ? or do i gotta crank it manually )
asciilifeform: reminds me of a 1890s brit caricature i once saw, where 'esteemed gentleman's beagle has died, and he took it to 2 taxidermists...', one cheapskate, who offered him just skeleton with sock on it, other who used air pump, offered doglike baloon, with the phrase 'human strength can stuff it no further!' caption
