If you’re the one who gets CVE alerts and has to convince others to take them seriously, this whitepaper might help. It has some with stats and positioning that can support your case for prioritizing vulnerability management.

Yeah, there’s a bit about how #Perforce #Puppet can help at the end, but there are good business case things on MTTR and breach risks too. Some links in there to some supporting reports from other sources, as well.

Today's been one of those days where I wish we were using anything other than #perforce for version control. This thing is broken beyond belief. Working on several changelists? Sure, but don't create new files, shelving them and reverting the changelist doesn't remove the newly added file from the filesystem. Which breaks #ceedling's automatic test discovery. The work around is to rename the test_* file with some other prefix manually. It sucks.

With #Perforce doing a takeover of #puppet Slack where can I complain that the Debian PDK packages aren't installing because the key has expired?

Todays issues was digging through ~300 commits to find a hard crash due to case sentitive issue right as AssetBundles starts.

Absolutely terrible, it is a combined effort between Windows being case-insentitive, Perforce running on case-insentitive system and for AssetBundles to die from a file being renamed.

The next person who advocates that "Perforce is more user friendly than Git and better for artists." to my face will get a custard pie in response. It really isn't any different to any other VCS is terms of complexity and arguing that it is "user friendly" compared to git is just lies.

Writing the Electron app reminds me I invented Electron 17 years ago, by embedding WebKit into Perforce's P4V. The entire UI could be web tech, centrally customizable with secure deployment. Imagine if P4V had become Electron.

Puppet 要 fork 了

在 Lobsters 上看到 Puppet 要的改名討論:「Choose a Project Name - Initial Voting Closes December 31」,才注意到 Puppet 也發生了 license issue,報導的部分可以參考「Puppet’s Open Source Community Plans to Fork the Program」這篇。

主要是上個月的時候 Perforce (在 2022 年買了 Puppet) 對 open source 版本宣佈了新的政策:「Our Plans for Open So

@genebean they're doing a serious mistake, and everyone is telling them so, but at this point, i don't care about #perforce at all, i'm more worried about #puppet. if other projects are any reference, however, this will hurt the community (and destroy the name puppet), but we will prevail

2024-12-17

@genebean #perforce has been explicit in asking the community to maintain the opensource version and produce binary packages for #puppet, so we're actually doing what they want, in a sense, maybe not in the way they expect

2024-12-17

@genebean my perspective on this is that we're not forking #Puppet, #perforce is forking puppet, and refusing the community the use of their brand name

Some sorts about Puppets recent announcement to, effectively, go closed-source:

After #Perforce Software pulled the crap recently with the community Slack, I was afraid they were up to no good. Sadly, it seems I was correct. Fortunately, @binford2k is on top of things and it seems he and #VoxPupuli are working on a truly #OpenSource path forward for #Puppet.

I forgot how ugly and old fashioned Perforce is. The UI looks like it hasn't changed in 20 years and the server feels like something from the 90s even if they have updated features.

Anyone using P4VS and experiencing major performance issues with when it and Unreal Engine are running at the same time?

Hearing isolated reports of such from a colleague but haven't been able to replicate the same yet.

(this is a bit of a long-shot, I know haha)
