Devops Needs Sushi
A couple of weeks ago I was once again manually installing Drush as there were no packages for CentOS / EPEL or whatever, apart from the needed patch to get it running on a 5.1.X RHEL php
I had found this thread on Drupal.org mentioning that a package already exists
however David had not answered the exact location yet
So I created a drush package with a with the above mentionned patch and sent it to Jon Ciesla again he gave some suprising feedback ;)
Some of you might have noticed that Fedora 11 and up already have an up to date Drupal6 version, but EPEL , which is what a lot of people are using on their CentOS or RHEL builds only has a Drupal5. I asked Jon Ciesla, who is maintaing the Drupal packages in Fedora why :
Because when Drupal was initially built for EL-5 and EL-5, the 5.x
branch was the current release. It’s up to date, 5.20 is the most
recent release, and is still supported upstream in terms of security
fixes. 6 is out, and has been for awhile, but we have the following:
Barcamp Gent 3, the one that took place yesterday is probably going to be my last Barcamp in Belgium. I already had my doubts upfront when looking at the suggested talks, but once there I realized it was much worse than I expected.
Lemme repoint you folks to what I wrote about the first Barcamp in Belgium back in 2006
Maybe my expectations on what kind of people / talks to meet and see there were a bit wrong.. when looking at other barcamps where people such as whurley and Moshe were present, I was maybe hoping for a bit more of system level innovation etc. or at least more technology innovation rather than Bloggers meet and talk about Blogging tools. I wasn’t sure on what I should talk about as most of the topics I usually speak about would have been so out of scope and probably wouldn’t have reached any potientiel audience.\

Too bad the majority of the audience already knew what I was a bout to say ….
Lots of people writing about Snorkle again today ,Monty Says, help saving MySQL
He gives us different options, a , b or c .. but I , and some others, want an option d
No I don’t trust Oracle, it’s not like they have been a very good Open Source Citizen, yes they contribute to the kernel and other projects but my feeling says it’s only because they have to (Kernel, Xen and others ) not because they Want to (thinking about Unfakable etc) , if they would really want to they probably would work with the CentOS community more etc, and as Monty mentions their InnoDB track record could be better.
The 10th edition of Fosdem is getting closer, yes .. I said 10 ,10 decimal that means ten, not two :)
It’s kinda hard to imagine that this is actually going to be my 10th fosdem , it feels weird ..
Anyhow.. Lenz just announced a call for participation for the MySQL and Friends devroom.
I`m guessing a talk on .LolSQL might be a good fit for the “and Friends” part.
So you have this libvirt setup and you want to have a dhcp server on the virtual machines you are playing with , or you want to have all static IP’s.
Libvirt uses dnsmasq to provide dhcp services etc and when you generate a config from the gui it will look like\
1. <network>
2. <name>piponet</name>
3. <uuid>e87d3bf1-a2e7-96ca-e131-7ae51ac033f9</uuid>
4. <bridge name='virbr2' stp='on' delay='0' />
5. <ip address='192.168.100.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
6. <dhcp>
7. <range start='192.168.100.128' end='192.168.100.254' />
8. </dhcp>
9. </ip>
10. </network>
If you fully remove the dhcp section, then restart libvirt you’ll notice dnsmasq running with no dhcpd on that subnet so you’ll have full control again :)
As posted earlier Packt was so kind to send me their Drupal 6 , Social Networking for review.
My hopes were high, I was hoping for some info on how to integrate with different existing networks, content about existing frameworks, maybe some mentioning of openAtrium or so, or integrating with Twitter or other existing platforms.
Sadly the book only briefly touches similar content, the Google API , in Chapter 7
While a good read, and a good introduction to Drupal for new users I didn’t learn anything till chapter 7 and anything after Chapter 7 ;( And I don’t consider myselve as a Drupal Expert
After what google announced today it’s pretty clear who to blame as of now, no it’s not Dim0 anymore,, it’s not a Freaking DNS Problem anymore its just plain old google.
Yep Google announced they will be providing a public open DNS server . So rather than claiming that Everything is a Freaking DNS Problem, now everything is a Freaking Google Problem.
Google tracking which sites you visits while not using earch, it’s a DNS Problem , Google tracking different Google Profiles you have and matching them together indeed, another Fine DNS Proble, Google tracking what different users are working the same computer and mapping them it’s a DNS Problem,
I have a confession to make, Im a Fedora user, have been since before it existed , I remember running RedHat 4.2 on my Multia and Im pretty sur that wasn’t my first RedHat install
I`m running Fedora on my laptop and corporate desktop for the simple reason that it will provide me with a preview of what CentOS might look like in the future.
So when my inbox started to show invites of a Fedora 12 release party at walking distance from my home , I replied I’d join the party afer I had put the kids to bed.
