| Me: | Arch archives have names. My archive's name is wingo@pobox.com--2004-main. Say hi to wingo@pobox.com--2004-main! |
| You: | Hi, wingo@pobox.com--2004-main... |
| Archive: | Hi, nice to meet you. |
| Me: | Arch archives are associated with places. For example, I host
a public copy of my archive here |
| Archive: | I'm naked. |
| You: | Indecent! |
| Me: | Not really, I'm the only one with write access. |
| Archive: | I'm yours. |
| You: | This is weird... |
| Me: | Anyway, the first step to accessing an archive is to register it. |
| Archive: | tla register-archive wingo@pobox.com--2004-main http://ambient.2y.net/wingo/arch/wingo@pobox.com--2004-main/ |
| Me: | Then within an archive, there are categories of software to
get. What categories do you have, archive? |
| Archive: | Why don't you ask nicely? |
| You: | "Ask nicely"? A cranky archive... |
| Me: | Oh no, it just needs to be talked to in the right way. You can
browse the archive with tla abrowse wingo@pobox.com--2004-main. |
| Archive: | I like that. |
| Me: | Then if you want a particular category, like guile-lib--wingo, use get. |
| You: | Ah, I read about that in the tutorial. tla get wingo@pobox.com--2004-main/guile-lib--wingo dest-dir, no? |
| Archive: | I like that too. |
| You: | Um, ok thanks I'm going. You people, er, you, anyway you're weird. |
