I just noticed that Perforce->Open for Editing works (but Perforce->Diff With Base still doesn't). I see in the Bundle Editor that Open for Editing is a simple shell script (that just does `p4 edit`) but Diff With Base is a Ruby script that requires 'p4_diff' and calls "Perforce::diff_active_file()". So the error message I get may be misleading.

I wonder if I need to install the Perforce Ruby API separately.

I installed the Perforce bundle (using the GetBundle bundle) and just tried it for the first time. I selected Perforce->Diff With Base with a file open that I've already ran `p4 edit` on in the command-line, and I get:

Perforce client error: Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT. TCP connect to perforce failed. perforce: host unknown.

I double-checked that $P4PORT is set properly, and I can run Perforce fine from Terminal (and from BBEdit). Do I need to do something else to setup the bundle? (Is there a way to find documentation for bundles that I haven't found yet?)

I also noticed that all the key equivalents in the Perforce bundle are "^$". Is this a sign of some kind of problem?

I didn't get any replies to my earlier emails, which makes me wonder if the Perforce bundle needs a maintainer.

I would think the relatively thin state of the Perforce bundle would be a better hint. :)

If so, I would like to volunteer.

Great! I've been hoping someone would step up. My workplace switched to Subversion, I've never used Perforce outside of work, and the amount of spare time I have is usually zero or negative.

But you need to convince Allan to give you write access. The best way to do that is probably to contribute a bunch of stuff to the Perforce bundle (or to other bundles as strikes your fancy) as patches or as a downloadable copy somewhere.

I finally made time to start turning my experimental changes into patches. I thought I'd start simple. Attached is a Help command I added. (I stole the method of embedding the Markdown text in the command text from the TODO bundle Help command.)

After I get confirmation that this patch is alright (or I learn what I did wrong), I'll start contributing more patches (to the bundle code itself).
