Seeing available updates in svn repository

I've used subversion for quite a while now – I vaguely remember using CVS when working with some Sourceforge projects, but most of my experience is with subversion.

I've used the command svn status (or svn st, for short) to show me what changes there are in my working copy. However, I've occasionally thought it would be nice to see what updates are available in the repository but I've never bothered to find out how to do it. Until now…

To see what updates are available in the repository, simply use:

svn status --show-updates

svn st -u

Python logging with rich - writing to stderr - plain output when writing to file

Rich is a Python library for writing rich text (with color and style) to the terminal, and for displaying advanced content such as tables, markdown, and syntax highlighted code. Rich provides RichHandler , a logging handler for python's logging module which will format and colorize text written by the module. However, RichHandler writes to stdout by default. More specifically, it writes to a rich Console object which, by default, writes to stdout. To make RichHandler write to stderr by default, you must pass in a Console object which has been configured to write to stderr: import logging from rich.console import Console from rich.logging import RichHandler DATEFMT = "%Y-%m- %d T%H:%M:%SZ" FORMAT = " %(message)s " logging . basicConfig( level = "NOTSET" , format = FORMAT, datefmt = DATEFMT, handlers = [RichHandler(console = Console(stderr = True ))], ) logger = logging . getLogger(__name__) logger . i...

Fix python import order on save in vim with ruff and ale

My IDE of choice is vim. I use various tools to perform linting and code formatting, and configure them all with ALE (the Asynchronous Lint Engine). After using several discrete tools ( black , isort , flake8 , etc) I have settled on using Ruff to do my python code formatting and linting. Here's the relevant fragment of my ALE config in my .vimrc: " ALE config let g :ale_fixers = { \ 'python' : [ 'ruff' , 'ruff_format' ], \} let g :ale_linters = { \ 'python' : [ 'ruff' ], \} let g :ale_python_ruff_use_global = 1 One of the last remaining wrinkles I had was getting Ruff to automatically sort import statements. Sorting imports is performed by the Ruff linter, not the formatter, which is documented here . The fix on the command line is to add an option, like this: ruff check --select I --fix The difficulty I had was getting this to happen in the editor when the file was saved. It turns out, all I needed to do was ...

Escaping special characters in wget username or password

I recently offered to help out with the hosting of a WordPress site. It’s currently hosted somewhere with no shell access – just ftp – and there are a lot of images to transfer. I quickly figured out I could use wget to mirror the site, using something like: wget -m ftp://username:password@example.com However, this broke in this case because the username for the site contained an @ character (the username was user@example.com ). Turns out the solution was to encode the special chars using HTML notation. This is the command that did the trick: wget -m ftp://user%40example.com:password@example.com
