 Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 10:02 am Post subject: ble.sh, bash line editor [ebuild + discussions] |
 |
|
Does anyone here have used or uses ble.sh as readline replacement for bash?
I'd like to know before I possibly lock myself out of my system. :D
Also if you know other line editors that work with bash which could bring syntax highlight, please post about it.

Interesting...
No experience here.
Since it's activated via source, do you have any reason not to try & test it for a single non root user?
EDIT: I didn't get it at first, as you likely would rebuild as | Code: | | USE=-readline emerge -1 app-shells/bash |
Maybe the real question is about using such a setting for that package, whatever the status of ble.sh.

USE=readline is forced for bash, but I think current stable portage shouldn't need it anymore.
I wonder if ble.sh can still be used with bash[readline]...

| Bash supports --noediting to disable use of readline at runtime. Perhaps that would be sufficient to avoid the conflict? |

Thanks, Hu. :)
I'll start experimenting when I have time. It seems there aren't many, if none at all, gentooers who have tried this.

Preliminary tests showed, that there's no conflict. I just cloned the git repo and "compiled" the project. Then sourced the script... It seems to work fine. :o
I'll conduct more tests. So far looking pretty good. It is slow at times, which is expected. On the other hand the new features it brings can speed up general bash usage.

Do you have plan for an ebuild?

Yes.
Makefile(s) need patching. Some targets want to run some git commands and it's driving me crazy.
I already managed to tell it not to fetch the git submodule (ebuild provides it now). Now it wants to determine commit hash based on the tag...
*sigh*
I'm going sleep. Maybe tomorrow.

So I kinda forced it to work. Not pretty, but seems to work.
https://codeberg.org/Zucca/gentoo-overlay/src/branch/master/app-shells/blesh
If you install it using the ebuild above, then
| Code: | | source /usr/share/blesh/ble.sh |
... will enable it. I'd maybe avoid putting that in any profile or rc script yet...
If you do, make sure you source it only on interactive bash sessions.

Thanks for testing. If you encounter any problems then, please, emerge the 9999 version.
I can craft new ebuild which installs current git HEAD pretty easily.

I did some releases.
Because so far I haven't had any problems It'll auto source ble.sh for non-root users for interactive shells.
Installs blesh_init into /etc/bash/bashrc.d/.

Because I just noted behavior reported above, I tried to visualize blesh-0.4.0_p3-r2.ebuild using home baked ebuild search and display script:
It failed miserably while reporting | Code: | | A file is not listed in the Manifest: '/var/db/repos/zucca/app-shells/blesh/blesh-0.4.0_p3-r2.ebuild |
Something likely requires a fix somewhere.

Wouldn't it be nice to be IUSE dependent, whether defaulted to OFF or ON?

Please sync again. There's no longer file with that name. And I tried to remove that also via git rm, but there's no record of it anymore.
EDIT: There was, indeed, a leftover from it when I dug a bit deeper. Should be fixed now.

If you prefer the non-auto route, please check that there isn't any leftovers in /etc/bash/bashrc.d/, although Portage should normally remove unmodified configs upon package removal... I think. I'm not 100% certain how the behavior is at default settings.

Your bash completion doesn't interfere with ble.sh?

Maybe it does...
However after backspacing completion tab request, initial completion list is removed when on blesh.
Thus providing sense of comfort here
Aside, colorful completion list here . 
My 2 cent is that I would be horrified with ram comsuption.
So let's keep focused on features for the moment.

@CaptainBlood: Which version do you use, if any?
Any major bugs/problems with it?

Installed versions: 0.4.0_rc3_p132^m(13:30:56 22/02/2024)(-auto-load)
It hasn't been manually activated for default user account, as I've lately mainly been tackling install issues from root session. I don't expect to activate blesh for root any soon.
I you have a test case not too difficult to reproduce here, I'd be glad to contribute...

Everything's pretty ok here too. Although, as expected, ble.sh somewhat slows down interactive shell usage.
