Code beautifiers, anyone?
Hello people, I'm looking for the best ways to create a line of code beautification (reformatting) scripts -- one for C, one for Ruby, one for Bash and one for web development languages like XHTML, XML, CSS, PHP and Ajax. Whether as frontline warriors or household maids, they would ensure proper indentation, linebreaks, spaces, tabs and so forth. Can anybody help me? My studies of architectural science has taught me to pay extreme care to the correction of details, and I now wish to apply these teachings to all my code. I find myself always reformatting whatever my associates give me. Not that they're bad programmers, they just care more about the code itself rather than its structure, and I dare not argue with that. When their code is messy, however, my heart feels messy and I can't get any sleep. I wish to be in full control of my code beautifiers. That is, I wish to have them as simple and meaningful as possible. Give me an easy Bash over a complex Ruby any day. There's a lot of messed up tools out there. Companies with flashy websites just doing this for the money. So apart from the bullshit, I've managed to spot out the Ruby Beautifier and GNU Indent as two worthy code beautifiers.

installing 6.1 on Compaq Proliant 5000
Good morning dear FreeBSD enthusiasts. I am attempting to install FreeBSD 6.1 on a Compaq Proliant 5000. The computer is equipped with four Pentium Pro processors clocked at 200 mhz and with a Smart 2/P hardware-RAID array. The BIOS indicates that the first two processors have failed. They are actually okay, but there is something wrong with their socket on the motherboard. The following sequence is being quoted from human memory. I ran SmartStart with the request to install S.C.O. OpenUnix. Of the operating systems supported by SmartStart, this one sounded the most similar to FreeBSD. Then I rebooted with the CD containing FreeBSD 6.1 in the SCSI CD-ROM reader. To my surprise, the computer booted off of the CD-ROM. Initially, the screen displayed in black-and-white. When a list box appeared, I entered the request for a command prompt. The monitor immediately displayed a command prompt. I entered the following commands: load ida load sym set Hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 set Hw.physmem=1048576K boot The fourth command was entered because the boot program does not correctly interpret the memory size from the information transferred to it from the BIOS. Then a lengthy list of device drivers either installed, or failed-to-install, scrolled down the face of the monitor, still in black-and-white. Then the screen displayed a blue background, and a colored message appeared saying probing for devices. Then it displayed a message to choose a country code. The display delayed response to keyboard entries by two minutes or more for each keystroke. I selected United States. Several minutes later, the list box disappeared, and screen became blank blue. One-half hour later, another list box displayed which gave the user choices of the type of install desired. There was absolutely no response on the screen to any keyboard entry. What am I doing wrong? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Could you recommend us one of them? Actually, it tends to be a matter of personal preference. I prefer portsnap to cvsup for updating the ports system. After the initial run of the program it runs, IMHO, faster and is more secure. In addition, you do not have to build an index after it finishes. Portmanager and portupgrade both strive to accomplish, to a degree, somewhat similar goals. There are things that portupgrade can do that portmanager cannot. However, again IMHO, for keeping your system up-to-date, I find portmanager to be somewhat more suitable. Try them all. Find out what you like best. The only cravat is if you use cvsup, which you have and then run portsnap, if you again run cvsup you will have to start from scratch with postsnap again. Not the worst thing in the world though. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Thanks!
Well, my scripts aren't magic. They are pretty simple. Here's few (not
scripts, these are valid Vim regexps):
:%s/).*\n.*{/) {/g
:%s/) *{/) {/g
:%s/\t//g
:%s/^ *$//g
:%s/ *$//g
1) Move curly brackets from the next line to the end of an expression.
2) Clean up some crazy bracket placements.
3) Remove tab characters and replace them with 4 spaces. This may mess
some multiline comments.
4) Clean all lines, which contain only spaces.
5) Almost same as above. Cleans up spaces at the end of the line.
If you run those one after another, the C source file should be much
nicer to read and manipulate. The idea should be quite clear and the
same regexp rules should be possible to be applied to other
regexp-savvy programs/interpreters, so it should be no problem to
create a set of scripts, which use those rules to modify a set of
files at one run. Some of those regexps are applicable (with minor
modifications) to other target languages also.

Hi, I have been reading on FreeBSD 6.1 with a view of installing in our 10 user shop. The book is: FreeBSD 6 Unleashed, by Michael Urban and Brian Tiemann (SAMS). On Page 93: BSD VS SYS 5 RUN CONTROL , I quote There is no multiuser mode without network support (in FreeBSD 6.1) as there is in SYS V run levels. Is this correct? This would mean that I can not install FreeBSD in a small 10 user office without network support? I have work with all versions of unix (ATT, SCO, AIX, SUN) etc and they all have multiuser mode without network support. It should be possible to get an Intel processor and 10 dumm terminals, hook them up by wire and you'd be in business. This is true for the unix I mentioned above. Is it also true for ANY version of BSD (free or otherwise)? Thank you.

Currently going to setup soon a machine with 2TB+ of storage and wanting to find out what limitations exist. Any problems with fsck with 2TB+ This will be a database machine so the number of inodes will be few and will likely do newfs -i 256MB (with the proper syntax to represent 256MB).

Maybe removing the sk driver would make a difference? -- Jeremy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: BSD-style init, networking mandatory? was: (no subject)

On Page 93: BSD VS SYS 5 RUN CONTROL , I quote There is no multiuser mode without network support (in FreeBSD 6.1) as there is in SYS V run levels. Is this correct? This would mean that I can not install FreeBSD in a small 10 user office without network support? What the book means is that FreeBSD just does not distinguish various runlevels like SysV does. There is only singleuser and multiuser with BSD-stlye init, while SysV init has more (Singleuser, Multiuser with no networking, Multiuser with Networking, X...). Of course it's possible to run FreeBSD non-networked. :-) I have work with all versions of unix (ATT, SCO, AIX, SUN) etc and they all have multiuser mode without network support. It should be possible to get an Intel processor and 10 dumm terminals, hook them up by wire and you'd be in business. This is true for the unix I mentioned above. Is it also true for ANY version of BSD (free or otherwise)? Thank you.

apache Jails
I want to build a FreeBSD webserver to replace a M$ IIS web server. I've started researching using Jails but am a little confused. Given I am hosting four(4) websites, would I have four separate jails. each jail having a separate install of apache + php + mysql ? or would I be installing apache + php + mysql at the base system, and then have four separate jails for each web site and database files ??

Is it also true for ANY version of BSD (free or otherwise)? That's correct. The whole concept of 'run levels' is not supported in BSD-ish systems: either you're down, or you're running single user, or you're fully up with all of the system services enabled and networking configured. However, if you want to be able to turn network configuration on or off at run time, then check out the /etc/rc.d/netif start script. Running /etc/rc.d/netif stop should de-configure and bring down all your network interfaces (including lo0, I believe, which is probably an interface too far). You can certainly use the same script to control network interfaces individually though.

src version
Hello, After I do a: bsd# cvsup ports-supfile I do a bsd# pkg_version -vol \ to see if any of my installed ports have newer versions. After I do a: bsd# cvsup stable-supfile is there any way to see the same information for the operating system on a i386 FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, smp custom kernel? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
