Pentadactyl deleted from sourceforge?

[Luis Zaldivar]

the nightlies and the project are deleted from sourceforge.

Also, there is no nightly in google code. Is the project moving to another provider?

[Ted Pavlic]

Your primary source for Pentadactyl information should be 5digits.org
(and Google Code):

http://5digits.org/pentadactyl/

http://5digits.org/nightlies

http://code.google.com/p/dactyl/

Oh. I know that.

If you go to that page, it shows you the latest build and the archive for the nightlies.

If you click the latest nightly build (http://5digits.org/nightly/pentadactyl-latest.xpi) , it fails to install. If  you go to the parent directory (http://5digits.org/nightly/) , it shows a 404 from sourceforge. If you go to the sourceforge git (http://pentadactyl.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi) , it's empty.. Althought there is a HG repo here (http://dactyl.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/hgweb.cgi/shortlog)

OTOH, if you go to google code, there is no nightly from yesterday. I asume the reason is that the nightly from sourceforge its gone.

So, I was wondering what happened.

[Ted Pavlic]

I think your guess is correct that the latest nightly probably was
deleted or failed to build properly for some reason.

Do you know that you can use Mercurial directly to pull the latest
pentadactyl updates? Find the "extensions" directory for your Firefox
profile... for example, it might be in:

/home/USERNAME/.mozilla/firefox/SOMETHINGRANDOM.default/extensions

You'll see a bunch of directories or XPI's there. Replace pentadactyl
with a text file called:

penta...@dactyl.googlecode.com

that contains the path to where the pentadactyl source code repo is
stored on your system. For example:

/home/USERNAME/repos/dactyl/pentadactyl

where "dactyl" is the actual base of the Mercurial repository, and
"pentadactyl" is the subdirectory that contains the Firefox extension.

Then, whenever you want a new update, go to:

/home/USERNAME/repos/dactyl

and issue (assuming you have hgext.fetch turned on in your ~/.hgrc):

hg fetch

Or, alternatively,

hg pull
hg update

Then restart firefox (":restart" or ":res" should work) to make the
update current. You can also roll back and forth using hg update as
needed if any bugs pop up along the way...

You don't even need to actually restart firefox, you should be able to
just run ":rehash" and that will "reload" pentadactyl.

The build machine will be offline until the middle of next week.

Ted has kindly provided an alternative and in addition there are
further instructions at http://5digits.org/coding
