~This is an update of the previous V-tree and V-starter pack, to include a more recent press of both V itself and the vtools that are used by V.~
The new V version included in the starter pack is pressed to the current head and it includes spyked’s fix of the init command to keep to only 1 depth level and a new vpatch of my own on top of that, adding a manifest file to bring the V-tree of V itself to current standard.
The vtools included in starter_v_2 are pressed to the current head, which is vtools_fixes_rootdir_files.vpatch (thank you, bvt!). This new press includes quite a few fixes, all courtesy of bvt: creating temporary files in the press dir (as opposed to using the /tmp dir that could be quite problematic); fix to handle larger files rather than end up with stack overflow; handling of the special cases of empty vpatches and files in the root of the vtree. While I recommend that you use this new version if you are just starting out, mainly to save yourself a lot of wtf, I’ll continue providing as well the older version and I don’t plan to ever take it down (I see no reason to do any such thing anyway).
For instructions on how to use those, if you are new, have a look at the original release as the instructions are the same as there. Alternatively, just come in #ossasepia on freenode and ask your questions, as someone will be able to help you with it.
I’m mirroring on my Reference Code Shelf page the V-tree of V itself and I’m linking here for your convenience both the starter pack and the V-tree:
