Windows 7 launches tomorrow, October 22. I hadn’t thought about this, but just how exactly does Microsoft work out that this version is version 7? Gizmodo takes a guess at it here, but anyway you look at it, it just doesn’t add up. Who cares anyway, since it’s really SP3 for Vista.
Everything iDon’t, Droid Does
What an awesome ad – see here. Finally Android is gaining some momentum from the big name players, with Motorola starting the mass media onslaught by pointing out everything that the iPhone does not do, Android does. Motorola’s ‘Droid’ phone (previously known as ‘Sholes’) is coming before the end of this year.
Once a few of the big names get their phones out there I think Android is going to pick up big time. Right now with only early adopters HTC carrying the Android platform, there’s not exactly much choice, and T-Mobile are the carrier (in the US) with the currently available HTC Android phones, the G1 and the MyTouch3g. By end of the year Verizon and AT&T are supposedly going to have their Android phones for sale… by the time several different Android phones are available across all the carriers it’s going to be hard to avoid Android phones…
Setting up Subversion on Ubuntu
See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion
Ading new repositories:
<code>$ sudo mkdir /home/svn $ cd /home/svn $ sudo mkdir myproject $ sudo chown -R www-data:subversion myproject $ sudo chmod -R g+rws myproject #make repo $ sudo svnadmin create /home/svn/myproject #start svn server - --foreground keeps output in foreground for debugging server activity svnserve -d --foreground -r /home/svn
To configure access to to the new project, edit the /home/svn/myproject/conf/svnserve.conf file created by default and uncomment the password-db line. Save the file.Edit the passwd file in the same dir and add a user and password to access this project.
Start the server with the svnserve command
Once the server is started, you can connect to the repository using a SVN client in Eclipse like Subclipse. Connect to the repository using svn://address/myproject as the project URL and root.
To add a new source project from Eclipse into the repository, select Team… Share Project. ‘Add to Source Control’ for each of the dirs in the project, and then ‘Commit’ the files.
Adding groups and users
# sudo addgroup <groupname>
To add a new user to a existing group:
# sudo adduser <username> groupname
