fish maintenance status

Stefano Sabatini — 2008-09-06T08:33:11

Hi all, fish is completely still since many months, no additions/fixes have been done since February IIRC, and Axel, the main author and maintainer is apparently missing from the list. So I'd like to know which is the maintenance status of fish, if there is someone currently involved in its development and if the apparent stall where it currently seems to be is due to some temporary reason. I like fish so much, it is a terrific usability improvement compared to bash and other similar shells, and I think it would be very sad to see it die for undermaintenance. Unfortunately I can't dedicate myself to its development, but I'd like to contribute completions for many of the commands I use everyday. Friendly regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Re: open command in other shells

Henry Precheur — 2008-09-05T20:25:37

You can't. The open command is a fish function: /usr/share/fish/functions/open.fish But all it does is invoking xdg-open or mimedb -l. So you could write something like this in your bashrc to get the same thing: if which xdg-open > /dev/null then alias open=xdg-open else alias open='mimedb -l --' fi On Tue, Sep 02, 2008 at 04:11:58AM -0700, Good Bad wrote:

Completions for effectv

Stefano Sabatini — 2008-09-04T22:21:11

Hi fishes, attached completion file for effectv. BTW I'm realizing that one of the problem with completions is that they depend on the version of the program. Ideally fish completions should be installed with every program itself, but this is rather unrealistic. A solution would be to detect somehov (parsing --version/-V/-version/-v?) the version number of the program and then eventually to report a warning.

Re: something identical to bash's !$

Beni Cherniavsky — 2008-08-30T23:57:09

Expanded explanation: History substitution was invented before interactive line editing. Good interactive history recall is more convenient but requires a small change of habits - if you want to modify an old line/word, first recall it, then edit. E.g. don't type "sudo !!" - first press Up, then Home, then type "sudo ". Fish history recall is very simple yet effective: * As in any modern shell, the Up arrow recalls whole lines, starting from the last line executed. A single press replaces "!!", later presses replace "!-3" and the like. + If the line you want is far back in the history, type any part of the line and then press Up one or more times. This will constrain the recall to lines that include this text, and you will get to the line you want much faster. This replaces "!vi", "!?bar.c" and the like. * Alt+Up recalls individual arguments, starting from the last argument in the last line executed. A single press replaces "!$", later presses replace "!!:4" and the like. + If the argument you want is far back in history (e.g. 2 lines back - that's a lot of words!), type any part of it and then press Alt+Up. This will show only arguments containing that part and you will get what you want much faster. Try it out, this is very convenient! If you want to reuse several arguments from the same line ("!!:3*" and the like), consider recalling the whole line and removing what you don't need (Alt+D and Alt+Backspace are your friends). http://fishshell.org/user_doc/index.html#editor

Problem with getopt

Henry Precheur — 2008-08-26T03:57:52

Greetings fish-users mailling list! I just started using Fish on Ubuntu and really like it. I am slowly leaving my old love ZSH. I am trying to make fish work on OpenBSD and would eventually make a port of fish for OpenBSD. But I just ran into a problem regarding getopt(1). Fish assumes that the GNU version of getopt(1) is present. This version comes with several extra-"features". Including long-options as documented here: http://www.rt.com/man/getopt.1.html The problem is that most *BSD stick to 'classic' version of getopt(1) without adding extra features: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getopt http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getopt http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?getopt These versions treat all options as options to be parsed and do not support long-options parsing. Which means every time fish uses a GNU/getopt options I get something like this: getopt: unknown option -- Q getopt: unknown option -- o I guess that removing -Q from fish scripts is not a problem even though I don't understand what it does, thanks to the 'clear' explanation in the manual: -Q, --quiet-output Do not generate normal output. Errors are still reported by getopt(3), unless you also use -q. The long-options removal should not be a problem technically, since it is possible to replace them with short options. The only problem is that short-options are not as nice and explicit as long-options. I can provide a patch, but I would like to be sure of what I am doing before doing anything ;-) Cheers,

Re: Problem with sudo and Fish

2008-08-16T00:57:36

Sorry to answer my own question: I just did: me< at >my-laptop ~> whereis agi agi: /usr/bin/agi me< at >my-laptop ~> whereis agr agr: Aparently I created an agi script under "/usr/bin/". I had forgotten about it. Anyway, that is why Fish finds it. There is no "/usr/bin/agr" script under "/usr/bin/", so Fish does not find it. Apparently Bash and Sudo understand each other better, and so Bash looks for scripts under "/home/me/bin/" as well, and it finds "/usr/bin/agr" there. So when I combine Fish and Sudo, the alias2 scripts have to be located somewhere on root's "$PATH", which in my case has so far excluded "/home/me/bin".

Weird result with Sudo and Fish

2008-08-16T00:16:39

Dear Fish users, Meanwhile I have been Fishing happily. I polished my (un)alias2 scripts a bit and things seemed to work all right. However, I just finished the following session: me< at >mylaptop ~> which agi /home/me/bin/agi me< at >mylaptop ~> which agr /home/me/bin/agr me< at >mylaptop ~> cat /home/me/bin/agi #!/bin/bash #This file was created by alias2. Do not edit it. It may be overwritten automatically. apt-get install "$< at >" me< at >mylaptop ~> cat /home/me/bin/agr #!/bin/bash #This file was created by alias2. Do not edit it. It may be overwritten automatically. apt-get remove "$< at >" me< at >mylaptop ~> ll ./bin/ag* -rwx------ 1 me me 124 2008-08-15 03:39 ./bin/agi* -rwx------ 1 me me 123 2008-08-16 01:15 ./bin/agr* me< at >mylaptop ~> sudo agi fish Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done fish is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. me< at >mylaptop ~> sudo agr fish sudo: agr: command not found That final result really surprised me! When I tried the last 2 commands under Bash, I got the expected (and desired) results: me< at >my-laptop:~$ sudo agi fish Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done fish is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. me< at >mylaptop:~$ sudo agr fish Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: fish 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 3498kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. So, the combination of Fish and Sudo still puzzles me. Can other Fish users reproduce this behavior, or is it something that I alone experience? Thanks in advance!

Hi Isaac, Thank you for your explanation. I had though of creating some /usr/bin/ scripts too. I may even define some kind of /usr/bin/my_alias script to create the other scripts. That is much nicer than to depend on creating "unfriendly" Fish functions.

Re: Problem with sudo and Fish functions

2008-08-07T14:03:57

Hi Martin, Thank you very much for your quick answer. I set up Fish using sudo in an interactive bash session. I actually issued the command "sudo agi fish". In my ~/.bashrc file agi is defined as a simple Bash alias. I have not defined it anywhere else. It works though. I do not know much about technicallities. I did not even know that sudo calls bash. I guess that this means that it will be difficult to make sudo understand that I actually want to feed it a Fish function. To me it seems that this makes it quite difficult to use Fish and sudo together. Could I write a Fish function called "sudo"? I could detect if the next argument is agi and then expand it as "apt-get install" and add the rest of the command line to it. This morning I tried something like that. My first attempt failed though, and so I decided to ask if there were no easier solutions.
