| 07:20 | Added a "depends" file to the OS build process, making explicit our dependencies instead of calling them out in the docs, reducing the RTFM requirement. leaf check-in: e39d0e1d9c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:15 | Merged near-duplicate build instructions from RELEASE-PROCESS.md into the actual image build process doc. check-in: 68575897bf user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:44 | Removed the explicit "man" package install, as the previously added man-db marks it as a known conflict. Kept the manpages package, but alphabetized it in that section of the list. check-in: c974c1f68d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:58 | Fix simh.py.in: pull in latest trunk improvements (timeout fix, better error handling) leaf check-in: 64b6f4b423 user: poetnerd tags: release | |
| 02:27 | Merge trunk into release to get latest fixes and improvements check-in: 40eb16c102 user: poetnerd tags: release | |
| 02:07 | Add the man command and man pages to the image. check-in: f82dea82c5 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:04 | Added instruction to stop pidp8i when building on PiDP-8i hardware. Updated ChangeLog with mention of these changes. check-in: 1522ae49f8 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 00:40 | Additional robustness around calls to expect. Should eliminate python backtraces, and instead give graceful error reports. check-in: 2d6b92fb87 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 15:04 | Yet another attempt to get the bunny test to succeed always. "This time for sure!" check-in: e36acee74d user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 14:55 | Fixed the problem with timeouts experienced building on the Pi3 platform. It really was a "didn't wait long enough" problem. Timeout constant doubled from 10 to 20 seconds. Also quieted the additional debugging for the incorrect failure theory. check-in: 1e50251549 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:39 | IMPORTANT fix to release creation: Do NOT install dhcpcd. It creates a second DHCP client and makes networking crazy! check-in: 1a362f2657 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
|

| 16:18 | When expect gets eof or timeout, always give more detais. check-in: b9b66a3a49 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 06:37 | Finally gave os8script the debugging it needs! Now shows script file on every line of output! Also reports mounts and unmounts so we can look for race conditions in parallel make. check-in: 83d3316333 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 08:22 | Cherrypicked a few changes made on the release branch onto trunk, where they should have been made. check-in: d1b17e3a0f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:20 | Nuked the hardware keyswitch idea. It never went anywhere, and the wiki article describing it is gone now. check-in: 5d2fe92af5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:29 | Simplified the installation of deeper.service, and using the installed version of the binary, not the source tree one. check-in: a4cf33c4e5 user: tangent tags: release | |
| 07:24 | Added a Deeper Thought systemd unit file check-in: 05b77ee96d user: tangent tags: release | |
| 06:03 | Second try at cleaning the build tree after installing during the binary OS image build process, to avoid shipping unnecessary binaries. check-in: 30bc9659d6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:24 | Added commands 'man' and 'file' to the OS image, the last of the things specified by POSIX that we feel strongly about having everywhere. check-in: ee9ed5f9a5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:52 | Improved error diagnostics in simh.py and os8-script.py os8_pip_to and os8_pip_from now say what they're operating on when they fail. Trying out adding pexpect.TIMEOUT and pexpect.EOF as listed results. Should cut back on the number of tracebacks. check-in: ee833bae11 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 12:05 | Added less and vim to the binary image check-in: 58981e6148 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:05 | Added a 'make clean' step after 'make install' for the new image mechanism so we don't pack up and distribute uninstalled binaries easily recreated. check-in: 0542416503 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:45 | Variable reference fix in the new rpi-image-gen docs check-in: f93b66af89 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:03 | Added the TMPDIR tip, needed on my CM5 build box, with "only" two gigs of RAM. check-in: 592be29a7d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|

| 23:07 | Switched from the zstd sparse image to an xz-compressed full image, which both Raspberry Pi Imager and Balena Etcher appear to like. check-in: 6e73cace9b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 21:38 | Edit pass on the new release docs after following them here and adjusting to suit. Added a "Deployment" section as a result of a successful run. check-in: de1ab81f88 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:06 | Dropped the "fossil open URI" method from the contribution doc, and stripped the Git-like alternative down to a mere mention. We want the doc to focus on what we actually recommend, the classic method allowing multiple checkout directories. check-in: 0e07603525 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:26 | Whitespace fix to previous check-in: 790285d3a2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:25 | Moved the rsync tip referring to ~/pidp8i-image-gen from the "prerequisites" section of the release process doc — where it hasn't even been created yet — to a trailing hint for those iterating on the following "Build the Image" section. Also shortened the command. check-in: ecbac5af55 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:13 | Pull in latest RELEASE_PROCESS.md, and updated tools for release creation from trunk. check-in: b681f9469e user: poetnerd tags: release | |
| 17:11 | Update tools/publish-os8 to include ock rk05 images, and image-gen to pull from release branch. check-in: 3fd9df019b user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:19 | Save the file and THEN commit the needed text. check-in: 397b300623 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:07 | Merged trunk changes for v20260405 into release branch check-in: 007bd98bfa user: poetnerd tags: release, v20260405 | |
| 04:02 | Sync binary-glob with trunk to avoid merge conflict check-in: 4df86c3300 user: poetnerd tags: release | |
| 03:57 | Add src/uwfocal/*.TX to binary-glob check-in: 030e40681d user: poetnerd tags: release | |
| 03:56 | Add src/uwfocal/*.TX to binary-glob; update RELEASE-PROCESS.md with release procedure hard-won experience check-in: adbe2179bb user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:47 | Manual merge of trunk into release to clean up failed mkrel attempt; use make release going forward check-in: 5852fd0f08 user: poetnerd tags: release | |
| 03:15 | Further understanding and instructions for when things go sideways from a very old release. check-in: 3482bdc2b9 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:26 | Corrected correction to RELEASE-PROCESS.md check-in: 0abe9d48a9 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 01:45 | Released v20260404 check-in: bec9d1f4c5 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 01:02 | Document update to mkrel in Changelog.md check-in: c9d963f019 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 01:00 | Apparently bash ignores alias in non-interactive shells now. The code is clearer if we just call fossil by its name instead of a short alias. check-in: be6ab0480f user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
|
2026-04-01
| ||
| 02:00 | Point to the new PiDP-8/i project pages on obsolescence.dev instead of the old wixsite pages. check-in: eb70641759 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 00:58 | Update Changelog.md to announce our support for soldering the deposit switch in upside down. check-in: d8d3e3b56a user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
|
2026-03-31
| ||
| 01:57 | Dynamic detection of normal/inverted deposit. Preliminary tests are positive. We'll roll this back if further testing shows problems. Let's get it where more people will test it. Release candidate is feature complete! check-in: fd696b24f6 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
|
2026-03-29
| ||
| 15:02 | Untested rewrite. Dynamically check how deposit switch is installed and flip the logic if necessary. leaf check-in: 5acc6e6937 user: poetnerd tags: invert-deposit | |
|
2026-03-15
| ||
| 04:08 | Conversion to ock (OS/8 Combined kit) as default boot image. Includes changing the config option "use-ock" to "runtime" with a choice of "ock" or "v3d" and ock as default. check-in: 13082910a8 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 01:40 | Updates to README.md. Updates to CHANGELOG.md about readme and Wiki pages. check-in: c67876075a user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
