Re: [Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 78, Issue 28

2013-10-24 Thread Tony Anderson

Hi,

I looked at the Compulab website and the Trim-slice H is no longer 
offered. All
links to Trim-slice now go to Utilite. I was only able to find one 
vendor in the UK

which offered the Trim-slice for 208 pounds.

I suspect that the Trim-slice has gone out of production.

Perhaps, David Farning can check this out. Maybe we could work a deal to 
buy remaining inventory.

Does the $100 model have an enclosure for the hard drive? (even if the hard
drive itself is not present)

Yes, that is the situation.

I'll give it a shot. These guys are pretty lean :)

I also suggest contacting public forum at
http://www.utilite-computer.com/forum/ They are trying hard to build a
reputation of being hacker friendly.

This round we we not able to promise enough unit sales for them to
adjust their priorities to include a SATA connection for rotating
drives. I'll nudge again in January to see if they can do a hardware
update some time in the first quarter of 2014.

[Server-devel] The DXS merging confusion

2013-10-24 Thread Anish Mangal
I hope to clarify the consensus that was reached yesterday w.r.t merging
DXS changes.

History:
Step #1: We copied all the files from DXS over to the XSCE repo without
preserving the history

Now,
What we need is to be in essentially in the same place, but *with* the
history. The suggested way to do that is.

* Revert Step#1.
* Create a branch dxs on xsce:master.
* Pull in all DXS commits into that branch.
* Merge that branch into xsce:master.

That way, we will be in the same state as we are now, but with all the
commits of DXS preserved.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Anish

I had created a pull request for the same,

https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/pull/9

But it wasn't merged, as Santi suggested that it be done directly on the
main XSCE repo rather than on a fork.

Not really. The xsce:dxs branch still needs to be merged *into* xsce:master
afaict, so people can resume work on master (PR's and all).

Good question.  I hope so.  I'll let you know when mine arrives.  The 
one I had on Mission with Jerry came with an HD which we swapped out.  I 
think the enclosure to which you refer is simply the bottom plate so 
it must have one.

My Trimslice H250 has a 250 GB Hd mounted on the bottom door. Opening 
the door unplugs the mounted Hd (on The door)


There is also a Trimslice with a SD slot only for running programs. No 
HD door. It is thinner in height.

Not so.
I ordered a TrimSlice just a couple of days ago and got notice today 
that it is being shipped.  It was a struggle to find it on their web 
site, I admit.  Yes, the links seemed to go to their Utilite product but 
if you persevere, you'll find one that goes where you want it.
As I mentioned: US$100!  (I think it was 99 actually but can't remember 
for sure.  Shipping was extra and not insubstantial!)
The low price may reflect the fact that they have stopped production and 
want to clear inventory so availability may come to an end but that is 
pure conjecture.


Thay accept PayPal which is my prefered method of payment.
