09:04:47 <warlord> fell_: glad it's okay
09:04:52 <warlord> @op
09:04:52 <gncbot> warlord: Error: You don't have the #gnucash,op capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.

10:08:45 <lmat> warlord: I'm looking at list-extras.scm.
10:08:58 <lmat> warlord: Line 31 says "helper (cdr list)" What does that do?
10:09:14 <lmat> warlord: helper is defined on 28, but it requires three parameters...
10:09:56 <lmat> warlord: I'm pretty sure 31 is *after* the 'let', so it's not binding anything..
10:10:20 <warlord> lmat: there's clearly more context required since there's no open/close parens.
10:11:17 <lmat> warlord: So you're thinking helper is defined elsewhere?
10:12:14 <warlord> yes. You need to look at more context:
10:12:20 <warlord> (helper (cdr list)
10:12:20 <warlord> (if (ordered? elt min) elt min)
10:12:20 <warlord> (if (ordered? elt max) max elt)))))
10:12:39 <warlord> so this is calling helper with 3 parameters. The first paramter is (cdr list)
10:12:41 <lmat> OHHHHH
10:12:44 <warlord> Then the next two lines are parameters 2 and 3
10:13:06 <lmat> warlord: Thanks! I was thinking "cdr" and "list" are the two parameters passed, but that's C syntax.
10:13:13 <warlord> Right.
10:22:44 <warlord> lmat: and BTW, helper was defined right there.
10:22:50 <warlord> (this is a recursive function)
10:23:33 <lmat> warlord: I saw that it was declared, but was confused when I thought it was being called with only two parameters.
10:23:59 <warlord> ok

13:28:18 <lmat> warlord: Do you use a debugger when working with scheme? It's somewhat common that I take a look at a value and wonder: "What's in there?".
13:39:06 <fell> Warlord: at which place failed the docs build?
13:39:49 <fell> I just run successful make distcheck
13:40:36 <warlord> fell: Dunno. I only get a "build failed". My guess is that it failed in the xml2po step again, probably because I only fixed master and not maint
13:41:11 <warlord> lmat: no, there's not really a good debugger. Use (display ...) or the gnc log routines to "debug by printf"
13:41:18 <lmat> thanaks
13:42:07 <fell> OK
13:57:44 *** fabior has quit IRC
14:02:27 <lmat> warlord: I tried runing (printf "something ~s" whatever) , but it just printed "something ~s". display works, but it can only take one thing at a time (display "value is ") (display value) (display "\n")... How do I pass more than one thing at a time?
14:02:52 <warlord> string-append
14:03:15 <warlord> (display (string-append "value is " value "\n"))
14:03:25 <warlord> (should work)
14:03:30 <lmat> Awesome!
14:08:53 <fell> make mobi fails
14:12:05 <fell> but that seems to be somewhere in python
14:13:44 *** tuxd00d has quit IRC
14:14:01 *** tuxd00d has joined #gnucash
14:14:09 <warlord> I'm running the build by hand
14:23:00 *** Mechtilde has quit IRC
14:30:40 <warlord> and of course it worked. Which leads me to believe the issue is the xml2po fix that I made to master but not maint. fell, can you cherry-pick that commit?
14:31:52 <fell> do you remember the time range, you made it?
16:13:10 *** gncbot has joined #gnucash
16:15:03 <warlord> fell: Can you /op gncbot ?

16:15:37 *** fell sets mode: +o warlord
16:15:53 <warlord> thanks..
16:16:18 <warlord> supybot has been patched to try all IP addresses of the server. (thanks to pinkieval on #supybot @freenode)
16:16:21 <fell> Where has the bot been?
16:17:07 <fell> Last night the channel was wandering ;-)
16:18:11 <warlord> It's been failing to connect.
16:18:37 <warlord> Because the first server wasn't responding (the 1st IP address in the list). And supybot wasn't falling back.
16:47:58 <tom> warlord: Thanks. perl script to fix FITIDs completed. Would it be of any use to stick it anywhere? I'm probably not the only HSBC customer...
16:48:46 <warlord> tom: You could email it to the -user list? Or possibly reference it on the wiki?
16:51:36 *** mlncn has quit IRC
16:56:14 <tom> A script to fix HSBC OFX downloads with non unique FITIDS that repeat in different files -> http://pastebin.com/Fa88nHxc
17:06:39 <warlord> hmm, that's not either suggestion I made..
17:09:30 <fell> tom, if you have an account in our wiki, you could add it there.

17:29:10 *** rhdenis has joined #gnucash
17:30:19 <rhdenis> I'm just looking into features and I see we can import various formats but is there real-time sync function from bank to gnucash?
17:35:55 *** rhdenis has quit IRC
17:36:49 *** rhdenis has joined #gnucash
18:06:07 *** mlncn has joined #gnucash
18:06:18 <kinlo> are there plans to enable custom currencies in gnucash? Using a stock or mutual fund just doesn't work right as those type of accounts don't show the right columns...
18:15:18 *** tuxd00d has quit IRC
18:16:54 <fell> rhdenis: With german banks you can commit and get transactions via FinTS, in other countries you can only download transactions in different ways.
18:18:45 <fell> E.g. http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2
18:20:50 <fell> Kinlo: shure, if you write the module ;-)
18:23:38 <fell> But you can misuse XXX (no currency) and XTS (Test)
18:32:19 <kinlo> fell: nah, they don't have enough decimals
18:32:58 <kinlo> I'd like to track bitcoins, and with 8 places after the comma, it's demanding and doesnt work with XTS/XXX
18:33:34 <fell> But they have a subunit with less decimals
18:33:34 *** rhdenis has quit IRC
18:34:26 <kinlo> I know, but still, it would be a lot simpler if I didn't have to abuse a test currency
18:34:37 <kinlo> there are many cryptocurrencies out there, I own several :/
18:38:18 <kinlo> fell: it does feel the code to edit stuff is already there, it seems to be an artifical limit imposed by the program, but I have not looked at the source :/
18:40:15 <fell> You can see the API for both branches maint and master at http://code.gnucash.org/docs/
18:40:37 <fell> or checkout the sources at github
18:42:25 <fell> currently I know nobody with free resources for that project.

19:06:10 <fell> Warlord, How is your opinion about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight ?
19:27:29 *** rickoehn has quit IRC
19:28:15 <fell> Hm. was it intended that a change in docs/C/guide creates a new it/guide/gnucash-guide.xml?
