sup talk - Apr 2011 - turnsole alpha preview

Ok, if you''ve managed to get Heliotrope running, you can now try a
super-alpha
preview of Turnsole, the curses client.

Get it by cloning
  https://wmorgan at github.com/wmorgan/turnsole.git
and then following the instructions in HACKING. You will have to update your
Heliotrope repo to the latest master as well.

Things that work: searching, getting results from the server, viewing threads,
changing labels in thread-view-mode. (The very, very basics.)

Things that don''t work: almost everything else. Any by
"don''t work" I mean will
crash with a backtrace. Lots of code still needs to be updated. I''ve
also
ripped out various hooks and config options when they''ve gotten in my
way.

But generally this should be a faster, leaner experience. It''s at
roughly 1/3
the sup codebase and I''m hoping it won''t grow too much more.

For fun, run two turnsoles at the same time and marvel at your power.

Hi there,
ncursesw is giving me a hard time ("invalid value for @cert_chain"
being the error).
I tried ncursesw 1.2.4.1, 1.2.4.2 and 1.2.4.3 but all failed with the
same error. Since I know nothin'' about Ruby I was hoping somebody can
suggest a way to fix this so that I can try turnsole (find below what
I did).

TIA,
Mariano

It looks like this is some kind of (horrible) Rubygems problem. There
are various possible workarounds posted here:
