Re: Sup: Gmail Meets the Console

The rubygems package in the community repo is a self-contained package manager for ruby libraries and applications. Everything is installed in the folder of gems, so no bad interaction with pacman. It supports dependencies and has many other features. Since sup depends on many, very small ruby libraries, and since it is ruby (nothing is compiled), I think that there is no real advantage in adding 25 packages in the AUR which become outdated two times a week.
'gem install sup' brings sup with all its dependencies, 'gem update' once a while keeps all the ruby stuff up-to-date.

Re: Sup: Gmail Meets the Console

Also if you want to run the git version of sup (which is generally very stable and exciting), you can create a gem out of it with 'rake gem' in the git folder, optionally specifying an arbitrary fake version number adding 'REL=<versionnumber>'

Thanks for the tips patroclo7, I'll have a look at the package and see how far I can go

Re: Sup: Gmail Meets the Console

Ok, I'm back

My first consideration is that gem is terribly slow and eats almost all of my CPU :S but it worked well anyway.

Second thing: my only mailbox is Gmail, how do I go about using it with sup? I was reading above and I have seen that you used other tools, like offlineimap. I am not an email savy, so I am wondering if I need some tips as to how to make offlineimap and sup communicate. While I have no problems in trying to figure out how a single application works, it's always hard to understand how to make multiple applications communicate between each other when you are dealing with a technology you don't know well.

So, any tips are very welcome. And if you are generous in your suggestions, that will make me even happier

Old thread is old - read the forum etiquette and open your own topic, thank you.
