[hacks]hacking on MIT OCW
hi guys, let's make long guffings short:There are great open courses we can learn a lot from MIT OCW.I think a correct order in study curve is that begin with SICP[1] and 6.087[2](writing in C).Lisp and C giving you a different postions to looking at a same thing:The truth of computational model.then get to know about relationship between OS and programming languages itself(compilers) in metaphysical that it's important as if a man who has a strong faith but need to understand about hen and eggs which is came out at first time when SOMEONE created the stuff.Speak straightforward,either you can write a OS[3] when you got a compiler or you can write a compiler[4] when you got a OS.

Our group uses gitosis, and so far, it's been ok for our needs. However, the development stopped a while ago, and while I'm still rolling out my own custom patches sometimes, gitolite is the way to go. I'm going to migrate it Any Time Now. As for vandalism, git is not the tool to solve your problem. I can go and delete a branch on remote or unwind or modify history to what my heart desires and what exactly is going to stop me? -- Michael V. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: gitolite vs. gitosis
Hi Omer, For that purpose, you can use either GIT or Mercurial. Both scm are simple and can help you with such simple workflows. Im using Mercurial for a much complicated workflows while implementing a system at a new customer site. also both of them have very good tutorials, I like Mercurial tutorial, since it provides you with workflow suggestions. Good luck Eran On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 7:45 AM, Omer Zak w...@zak.co.il wrote: Several weeks ago I asked for opinions about using git vs. Mercurial for version-controlling a Website (http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ Hebrew translation, to be specific; I want to allow the project participants to modify and upload the Hebrew translation, yet require any changes to be committed to a version control system, in order to prevent vandalism).
