[TxMt] Re: Getting started with the Perforce bundle?

[Daryl Spitzer]

I solved my problem.  It occurred to me that the Perforce bundle
commands that use shell scripts have environment variables set in my
.bash_profile, but the commands that use Ruby scripts don't.  Adding
P4PORT, P4USER and P4CLIENT shell variables in  TextMate's Advanced
preferences did the trick.

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