Installation of Studio Compiler in Solaris 11 Express
Tuesday, June 28th, 2011Very nice instructions: Installation of Studio Compiler in Solaris 11 Express
Overview of installing Arch Linux
Monday, June 27th, 2011Build a Killer Customized Arch Linux Installation (and Learn All About Linux in the Process) has a good overview.
But in all honesty, Arch Linux does a pretty good job. The main point I got from the above link was to make sure to edit /etc/rc.conf.
Making a patch set
Monday, June 27th, 2011Get a clone and make a new branch:
290 21:08 git clone git://linux-nfs.org/~steved/cthon04.git
291 21:08 cd cthon04
292 21:08 git branch FreeBSD
293 21:08 git checkout FreeBSD
294 21:08 git branch
Edit your files and commit the changes:
299 21:09 git commit -a
Make the patch set:
303 21:15 git format-patch --cover-letter -s -n master..FreeBSD
Edit the cover letter to document your changes:
309 21:20 vi 0000-cover-letter.patch
Send the changes:
311 21:21 git send-email --smtp-encryption=tls --smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com --smtp-user=<user>@gmail.com --smtp-server-port=587 --to "<owner>" 000*
Note, while you might use a different email address inside the cover letter, it will still go out as from the user being referenced above. I.e., use the real smtp-server if you don’t want to expose your gmail account.
Note, you might have to install git-mail to do it this way. You can mail the patch set in many different ways.
VMware upgrade might blow away your networking
Monday, June 27th, 2011If you have customized your Fusion networking, be sure to make a copy of /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/networking to your home directory before upgrading.
And then copy it back and before you start up a VM, do sudo ./boot.sh –start in that directory.
