Exaile Updates
Exaile 0.2.10 is well on it’s way.
All plugins have been moved out of the regular Exaile repository, and into their own. The script located here reads information directly from Exaile’s trac source browser to keep up-to-date plugin list (trac watches our svn repository), even if we’ve just committed changes.
This will come to play in the new plugin manager, which I’ve started to work on. When the user opens the plugin manager, they will see an available plugins tab. When they click on that tab, an updated plugin list will be downloaded from the plugin list script running on Exaile.org,
Currently, the user can install plugins from here. Eventually, they will also be able to remove and upgrade plugins from here.
Also, the pluggable radio system is done, and the shoutcast plugin has been written. Everything works as it used to, but new plugins will be able to be written to get radio stations from other stream directories.
vim tip: Remote File Editing
You can edit files on a remote server that’s running an ssh daemon by typing something like the following:
:e scp://synic@jbother.org//etc/apt/sources.list
he :e, of course, means edit file. The scp://
means use the scp protocol (you can experiment with different protocols here.
http:// and ftp:// work, but obviously some of these protocols will be read
only). The synic@jbother.org is “username at host”.
The following slash is required (and is usually a : on the command line,
but in vim, it’s a slash for a reasons I don’t know). Everything
after that is the path of the file you want to edit on the remote server.
When you press enter, vim will prompt for the user’s password. When
you save the file with :w, you will be prompted for the password
again.
