Re: subversion ouch

2006-06-29 Thread Lior Kaplan
You usually create a group that has r/w access to the repository files,
and a subversion user to the run server daemon.

each repository has it own group (just to make clear, it's a normal
group in /etc/group not something internal to subversion).

running a server is easy using this command:
svnserve -d -r /srv/subversion/repositories/

-d for daemon mode, and -r to repositories path

authentication can be done using ssh+svn protocol.

subversion ouch

2006-06-29 Thread aamehl

Hi all,

for various reasons I have been using subversion at work.

This has worked fine for me when I was the only one using the repository.
I started a project where I am working with a coworker who has agreed to use
subversion.


Now I see things are not working correctly.

I of course set up subversion locally, duh and now I gather there is no way to
add users.

I put the repository on the companies remote server, to get this working must I
have a server installed there?

If not can I continue as I have been and somehow fix something.

Right now the problems I see are that while each of us can update and commit we
don't see each others work.

What must I do to get this working?

Thanks,
Aaron

Re: Kernel I/O Errors

2006-06-29 Thread Ez-Aton




One could assume so.
Bad blocks are being
reported when there are bad blocks. No more, no less.


It might be that the
hard drive suffers from temperature problem, and starts failing only
after X hours of continues work. It might be that the disk is failed
right from the start, and the person with the NTFS (let me guess -
KSP?) had formatted the HD a quick format. Formatting it a slow format
should not leave bad blocks on the formatted data (as it cleans the bad
blocks out), but should leave a report saying such and such bad blocks
were found. It only takes time. 


Ez.

Re: converting date to utc

2006-06-29 Thread Omer Zak
Look up the appropriate date conversion function in Perl or Python.
Use a regular expression to extract the date's parts from the access log
line, and invoke the above function using those parts as arguments.

Another alternative (also amenable to a script - in AWK, Perl or
Python):
1. Assume that the access log entries are really sorted by date+time.
2. Count the number of entries corresponding to each minute, by
inspecting the minute field.
3. Check day and hour fields to ensure that you did not miss minutes
with zero hits.

My Latin and Russian are regrettably woefully inadequate for a proper
treatment of your question (according to Marc's principles), so I'm
replying in straight English.

First of all, what do you need to optimize?
- Running time
- RAM footprint
- Cache working set size
- Disk I/O
- Network I/O
- Application startup time
- Perceived GUI response time
- Other

The following assumes that you need to optimize for running time.

If you did not write yet the application:
1. If the data set is small, select low-overhead algorithms.
2. If the data set is large, select algorithms according to their O()
behavior.

If you already wrote the application:
1. Run a profiler on it.
2. Tweak the worst performance bottlenecks found by the profiler.
3. Repeat steps (1),(2) above until the application's running time meets
your requirements.  However, if you have to repeat those steps more than
10 times, then consider buying a stronger processor to run your
application.

To optimize for other criteria, you need to ask more specific questions.
Also, try to ask Google.

Ido
