a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 17:52 ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758614 << consider a genesis, a and b patchset where a and b don't touch the same files. if i press to b, write a c that descends from b, it will not have a as an antecedent. when you say "modify the filebase into the shape that you want it to be", do you mean include the changes of a in the c patch?
trinque: further, pointless edits are antithetical to v-tronics
trinque: "whole patch must be meaningful"
ben_vulpes: it may be that tracking hashes at the file level isn't the right thing, because with vdiff as implemented i can trivially generate a vpatch b while working from a press of a that nevertheless still only depends on genesis if a leaves files untouched and b touches those untouched files only
diana_coman: I ran a bit into that with eucrypt but I can't say I have some clear idea what would be a good solution there as it seems to me it's a matter of level considered i.e. file, folder, component, whole project, what
mircea_popescu: trinque this is actually not altogether a meritless point.
ben_vulpes: so far the solutions i see are a) mircea_popescu's "what tree, all patches must descend linearly or be reground into linearity" 2) allow for pressing heads that do not touch the same files
diana_coman: onth "meaningful" there doesn't refer to code only and if new code in new files depends on existing code in untouched existing files, it may be meaningful nevertheless to update the readme file of the project for instance to say as much
mircea_popescu: imo "tree" MUST be linear. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: then if it is, trinque's point goes away because well... file hash as good as project hash for the linear bat.
ben_vulpes: this still leaves me in the pickle of producing a vpatch from a press to a that won't actually descend linearly from a without touching a file, and adding "this line necessary to ensure this vpatch descends from a and not genesis" ☟︎
phf: fwiw later approach has been a sop so far
ben_vulpes: phf: which vpatch does this show up in?
phf: ben_vulpes: official trb releases touch many files to tie them all into a single endpoint, e.g. `makefile' did that ☟︎

phf: http://btcbase.org/patches/makefiles#L390 etc.
shinohai: Just in time for the holidaaaaaaaaaaays fake bitcoin returns
shinohai: http://archive.is/RCrU9 ☟︎
ben_vulpes: phf: this exposes another problem: in ideal vtronics it is an illegal operation to press to multiple leaves at the same tree level, which is the only way to have a codebase against which to create a makefiles-type patch that ties multiple patches together ☟︎
phf: we also at some point had a thread, where i believe ascii but also others were leaning towards the idea of a single file vpatches (i.e. that a vpatch should only ever contain hunks for a single file). i'm starting to think that multi-file solutions in general are a hack ("we can't fit the entire compilation in memory"), but then i've been looking at TeX on one hand, and the "millions of support files" in diff/patch on the other ☟︎☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: also, single-file vpatches drives the system towards whole sourcetree hashing, otherwise they'll definitionally never depend on one another
phf: right
danielpbarron: !!balance
deedbot: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/zdK8x/?raw=true
phf: i've also played around with treating vpatch as a container. there's a function on btcbase for splitting all of the vpatches into separate objects, that each hold a single file changes (it's called something like explode-vpatch)
phf: in which case your graph connections become mandatory transitions (rather than what it is now, where you can technically press two different vpatches against a non-overlapping sets of files)
phf: i don't remember if there was any kind of interesting insight from the resulting graph, i should revisit it..
