Emacs upstream commit feed (u.bru.st)
 

As part of building an emacs local CI (ELCI lol) for myself, I've setup some tooling others might find interesting.

This page generates a commit in near-real-time, updated when someone pushes to emacs.git on savannah: https://u.bru.st/?#emacs-dev

You can get a single property like this: https://u.bru.st/last-rev.pl/?project=emacs&property=revision

Finally, you can also view the raw JSONL FIFO used by last-rev.pl: https://u.bru.st/emacs.jsonl

Sources should be all, or very nearly all, somewhere on my sr.ht GPL or APGL licensed but I'm afraid I've lots to do shifting things around so they make much sense from "the outside". Trying to setup all of this just from sources and my notes so far is probably not great fun. https://git.sr.ht/~mplscorwin/

FTR, this is very brittle; please be gentle in your experimentation and do shout if you see something I might should fix. Same handle on libera.chat IRC is the fastest way to reach me when I'm reachable.

Hi, I'm Corwin! TL;DR: wordy nerd for MN; lotsa kids, cats, GNU vol.

I'm yet-another-new-user bc Reddit; glad for the mass troop move toward FOSS and federated things, social especially. Over the last few years, I've been weaning myself off mass-media social: forgive me, hacker, it's been (only) three days since my last reddit/twitter/FB post. RE FOSS, I volunteer with some projects like EmacsConf and GNU Savannah. If you are looking to get involved with FOSS volunteering but aren't sure where you can get started HMU :)

Ahem. Meanwhile, in the interest of full disclosure. About Emacs...

Passion for Emacs has been likened (variously derisively or with found amusement) to religious fervor.

I help with the annual conf, like I mentioned. I make official binaries for Emacs available from GNU FTP servers/mirrors. I help with ERC, one of the IRC clients that ships with Emacs. I'm making an RPG engine for Emacs called dungeon-mode. I feel that this post will be incomplete unless I tell you even more about Emacs right now:

Emacs is a text editor built around a lisp machine. Most of it is implemented in Emacs Lisp (elisp). It can be customized using menus, like a normal program. Or using code, programs full of code, auto-generated programs, self-modifying programs, and so on.. such nonsense for a text editor to be doing any of this, of course.

Hopefully, you can see where I occasionally get myself in trouble. Every once in a while I need someone to tell me "no". To say "Corwin. Oh, Corwin. The X forum doesn't want to hear about how you integrated X into Emacs." "STFU about Emacs please Corwin", And so forth.

TIA if that's you.

In conclusion, when you are ready to talk about Emacs, find me on IRC corwin@libera.chat#emacs.
