 169 Bug ReportLow --ffmpeg and --mplayer documented but ignored Closed
100%
1.12.3 Task Description

No need for description

 174 Bug ReportMedium Video length is checked against mplayer's identificatio ...Closed
100%
1.12.3 Task Description

Internal: Stale code from prior versions, numsecs inside process() uses mplayer’s value instead of the best value to determine video length (and keep or discard timestamps).

As a side-effect, newer code being more strict about array vs string handling can fail easily.

 187 Bug ReportLow -U without argument fails Closed
100%
1.12.3 Task Description

Parsing of the “-U” option (optional argument) is incorrect, it always receives an argument (empty if none provided) which must be shifted manually. Currently it’s only shifted if provided explicitly.

–fullname” is not affected since it doesn’t take any arguments.

 189 Bug ReportHigh VCS is broken on FreeBSD (and Mac OS X) since 1.12.3 Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

Version 1.12.3 breaks on FreeBSD due to the usage of GNU-specific extensions of expr, sed and an incompatible Bash RE.

 248 Bug ReportHigh Unsupported format gives errors Closed

1.13.3 Task Description

Reported by DanC

https://outlyer.net/2014-05-18:vcs-1_13_2-released/comment-page-1/#comment-20390:

A great utilty... I’ve been using this for a couple of years now (it runs every night as a cron job).
I’ve been looking at cleaning up the output that cron captures from each of its commands and stores as a system email.
I’ve enabled the -Wc option to prevent coloured output. Mostly this works except near the start of the script when it says:
Settings from /home/danc/.vcs/vcs.conf:
bg_heading
This is still shown in green. Bug?

Currently the colour only stops after the option is found.

 167 Submitted PatchMedium Improper cleanup of tempdir Closed
100%

Submitted by someone desiring no credit.

Here’s a patch against 1.13.2 for mistaken approximate size calculation.

Self-notes about the patch:

  • More accurate rounding → Discarded. I went for rounding by excess
