Nice solution for keeping Hudson configuration in SVN repository

Here is a nice and simple solution for keeping the Hudson configuration in SVN.

I believe it's much better than just backup it since in SVN (or another version control) you are able to see the history and quickly revert the changes.

See the full article here.

Installing Gitorious on centos 5.5

I recently installed Gitorious on our centos 5.5 development machine and written down this recipe of the steps I took to acomplish it.

this is not a complete guide to installing gitorious and some of the steps here may be different depending on the os version, installed packages etc.

you should consult other documents available on the web, I followed these guides and a lot of googling and gitorious google group, read them for more details on the various components.

http://gitorious.com/gitorious/mainline/blobs/master/doc/recipes/install...

 

Most of the scripts I use are taken from gitorious doc/recipes/ with my changes, check to see there are no major changes in future releases of gitorious. the scripts are attched here as a zip file.

Chronon - Time Travelling Debugger and Recorder for Java

http://www.chrononsystems.com/

 

From the site:

Chronon is a revolutionary new technology that consists of -

  • A 'flight data recorder' for Java programs which can record every line of code executed inside a program and save it to a file on the disk. The file can be shared among developers and played back in our special time travelling debugger to instantly find the root cause of an issue. This also means that no bugs ever need to be reproduced!

  • A Time Travelling Debugger, with a novel UI that plugs seamlessly into Eclipse, which allows you to playback the recordings. It not only step back and forth but to any point in the execution of your program.

FlexPMD

 

FlexPMD is a tool that helps to improve code quality by auditing any AS3/Flex source directory and detecting common bad practices, such as unused/Inefficient/Over-complex/Over-long code and incorrect use of the Flex component lifecycle (commitProperties, etc.)

 

In the last few days I fiddled with it and with it's fairly new eclipse plugin, and found it quite useful.

The plugin also includes a CPD (Copy & Paste Detector) tool, that can identify code duplication which can be reduced by using functions or inheritance. I must admit I was overwhelmed by the amount of suspected code duplication it found in our code.

Another cool feature is the "Monitor" mode, where it only alerts of violations in files as you modify them.

seven reasons why you should abandon Ubuntu

seven good reasons to abandon Ubuntu in favor of a really free OS like Debian by Bradley M. kuhn.

especially because of this ubuntu bug   which araises the question: is this the right way to fix ubuntu bug 1?.

and this question comes up again just a few days befor ubuntu releases their new Lucid Lynx which is really a cool desktop especially if your very much into social networks, but apparentlly has a lot of non free software comming with it.

 

but are we really so dedicated to free and open source software?  or do we just want an easy to use OS?
