Finally Succeeded in Setting up a Git Server

Had a long time obsession with code versioning systems. Back in college times, I had seen the MyBB team work using SVN and Redmine. It was amazed by the workflow and issue tracking system: how each bug was reported and a developer would submit a patch to solve the issue.

I had started to read about SVN but then everyone on the web started switching to Git. It made me kinda sad everyone was bashing SVN. Then i started looking into Git systems.

Git in Eclipse

Setting up of the Git server
– Making sure SSH server (openSHH) is installed.
– Created a new user “git” on my laptop
– Disallowed access to shell for the user “git” as it could be dangerous.
– Created a link to the TickVen.git folder inside the home directory of user git so that i won’t have to share the real path to the project with the public (security! 😉 )
– Opened port 22 on my router
– Done 🙂

I’m soo happy to be able to have done this. Now collaborative coding with my team mates would be hopefully much better and enjoyable. No need to go through the pain of manually merging codes. 😉

Mauritius becoming the “landless” island :-/

Ministers say they have injected lots of money in draining systems. Money is not everything! In that case each country would have only a Finance minister who has the job of only injecting money.

But money controls the world. Inject money into project X in-front of the media then steal it from the back stage instead of planning and coordinating the projects..

Ministers allow commercial projects to be built upon ponds and marshy lands. Are there “land” left on our island where water can be absorbed? Our lands are being sold.

e.g. La Patinoire at Curepipe. There was a pond there. But they built an artificial river there that has concrete bottom.

Water are made to be evacuated quickly when it rains while in summer we crave for water. -_-

While natural calamities do happen, we must do our best to confront them.

Switching from Kubuntu to openSUSE

Finally made the switch today. The switch was not as easy as 1,2,3.

Firstly, Kubuntu’s USB disk creator doesn’t burn openSUSE’s .iso to pendrives directly. Had to buy a DVD then install from it.

WiFi

Once installed, connecting to my wireless router was a bit tricky. When opening the network widget in the taskbar, it doesn’t detect the networks automatically

Had to go to YaST control panel then enable networking from there.

Postgresql

Getting postgresql was a bit of a pain to get it working. It is not as automatic as in Kubuntu. Had to follow this guide to get it working: http://sourceforge.net/projects/epgsql/files/

Then had to uncomment some lines in postgresql.conf such as port number etc.

 

Now, as i got postgres working, i need to continue working on my project. Later will have time to post more about the system itself. Hope i didn’t make the wring decision by the switch *fingerscrossed* 🙂

*le Me still Alive

Long time no posting on my blog. Might be not enough motivation or simply laziness. Some things cannot be  said publicly too so as not to publicise others faults (and mine too). Of-course no one is perfect. 😉

When enjoying becomes a routine, it becomes boring

Sometimes when life goes too smooth, we get bored. *sigh*. Neways, i got assignments to do now. Hope i learn new things and techniques 🙂
