[SLUG] Code Management Database
We have several Linux software products, and have recently had enquiries about customised versions for specific customers. We're happy to do it, but I'm looking for a way to manage the codebase so that when we do an upgrade, we can upgrade the customised versions without overwriting the customised code. The code is delicious mix of C, PERL, PHP and bash scripts (don't ask). My understanding is that CVS is not the tool for this job, but does anybody know of a tool that is good for this? -- Regards, Edwin Humphries Mobile: 0419 233 051 Ironstone Technology Pty Ltd P. O.

Right now, you can use any of : Bazaar (or Bazaar-NG) Subversion Git Monotone Codeville Darcs Aegis - any of them should meet your stated requirements. My preference would be Bazaar or Bazaar--NG.

[SLUG] gphoto2 problem
I bought a cheap digital camera at Dick Smith's, because I wanted to take a test-run to see about using a real digital camera under Linux. gphoto2 came with my distribution (Fedora) and, with it, I was able at first to download images from the camera to my computer without difficulty. Then, after a bit, gphoto2 suddenly stopped working. Although it would still detect the camera without difficulty, when I ran the command to download the images from the camera, I got a message that said there had been an error updating the port settings. Checking in /var/log/messages, I found a message to the effect that interface 0 was claimed while 'gphoto2' sets config #1. I took that to mean that some program other than gphoto2 was preventing gphoto2 from using the expected port. There's a mailing list for gphoto2 and I asked for information about how to discover the blocking program. I was told that the blocking program was actually libgphoto2, the libraries for the gphoto2 front-end and that I should upgrade my gphoto2 from v 2.1.5 to 2.1.6, since that known bug had been fixed in the later version. I upgraded as told--the same error still appears. I asked for further assistance from the list, but have had no reply. One of the options when running gphoto2 is to turn on debugging. I've done that while trying to download photos, in the hope that I may get some useful information, but I can't find where the output is stored. Can anyone familiar with gphoto2 tell me where to find the debugging information? Can anyone, whether familiar with gphoto2 or not, suggest how I may be able to discover what's blocking the port through which I used to be able to download, but no longer can? Thank you.

I have a HP NC6230 lappy with a built-in modem: $lspci | grep -i modem :00:1e.3 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) Apparently that requires the sl-modem stuff. No problem. $apt-cache search sl-modem sl-modem-daemon - SmartLink software modem daemon sl-modem-source - SmartLink software modem driver - module building source Hmm - so far so good. Do an apt-get update then: $sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. *snip* The following packages have unmet dependencies: sl-modem-daemon: Depends: sl-modem-modules-new but it is not installable E: Broken packages It's all fun and games until somebody doesn't properly QA their packages. Hmm, I wonder if piuparts[1] is being run on Breezy? I solved this particular minor problem by gutting sl-modem-daemon a bit and removing the dependency on the modules package. Not so good. So I try the source and install sl-modem-source. But that package appears to be a branch that should be inserted into a full kernel source. Bah! How do I compile this?? No frigging idea. I ended up downloading slmodem-2.9.9e-pre1a and running 'make' in the drivers directlry, then copying slamr.ko into the kernel's modules directory. So as a last resort, I get the source file from smartlink and compile that. Only two warnings during the make install stage: /home/myuid/src/slmodem-2.9.10/drivers/st7554.c:1112: \ warning: implicit declaration of function `usb_endpoint_halted' ... *** Warning: usb_endpoint_halted [/home/myuid/src/slmodem-2.9.10/drivers/slusb.ko] undefined! Unless you've got a slightly freaky laptop, you don't need this module. It's for USB-connected softmodems. First one isn't a big deal, but the second one looks ominous. When it comes around to inserting the module: $sudo modprobe slamr FATAL: Error inserting slamr (/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/extra/slamr.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) And here's dmesg: slamr: Unknown symbol get_device slamr: Unknown symbol put_device slamr: Unknown symbol device_release_driver You built the module without versioned symbols, while the kernel has it's symbols versioned. Run 'make oldconfig make dep' in the kernel source tree for the running kernel (I think that the make oldconfig is enough, but I'm quite certain that running both will definitely sort it out). Once that's done, it's back into drivers for a 'make clean make'. Anyone solved this one before? Not entirely -- once I'd got it all built and installed, the driver would load and go hey, that's a modem! but I couldn't actually get it to make dialling-type actions.

[SLUG] simple script going wrong...
OK I have written gpgedit, strangely the script is not deleting the file yet rm does in command line. This is really strange. Also files are coming up empty then they have data. I have forced the system to check tun2fs -C 99 then rebooted. This IS an ext3 system and the check happened recently. So it might be mismatch with journal any suggestions. #!/bin/sh set -x if [ -f $1.gpg ] ; then rm $1 gpg --output $1 -d $1.gpg if [ $? != 0 ] ; then exit fi fi gvim $1 mv $1.gpg.bak $1.gpg.bak2 mv $1.gpg $1.gpg.bak gpg -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] -e $1 if [ $? != 0 ] ; then exit fi rm $1 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
