Mercurial bulk update

November 14, 2008

I don’t know about you, but I have on a lot of different places a directory called ‘hg’ with lot of different mercurial clones inside. Whether on the home of my several computers for my own projects, or inside other directories for external projects, and so on.
Now, remember one important aspect of distributed source control [...]

Yet another activity graph : how often do you emerge ?

November 13, 2008

Really, I seem to be fond of activity graphs those days. I have reused part of this previous code, but this time I parse the emerge log file to display the activity of your successful emerges. Think of it as a graphical view of ‘genlop -l’.
Those examples are the emerge activity of my two main [...]

Activities gallery

November 2, 2008

I’ve found the results to be quite interesting and decided to put up this gallery. Are you interested in the history of commits for kde, linux, django, portage(software), and others?
warning : this is [...]

Django browser for Redmine database

September 27, 2008

Do you know redmine ? This is, to my knowledge, the best project manager you could ever find out there. I like to describe it as ‘trac done well‘. It has only one, big, ugly, fat inconvenient for me : it is written on top of ruby on rails. I could tell you how slow [...]

About mercurial and permissions

September 16, 2008

Distributed source control is really great, and among them, the tool I love the most is, by far, mercurial. I use it for all my free software projects, my own non-software projects (config files, mathematical articles and such) and also, dare I say it, for my CLOSE SOURCE projects.

Linux, a second-class citizen in the PHP world

July 13, 2008

PHP has the ability to send mails. Great. To do so, it can either connect to an external smtp server, or use a local MTA. Even greater!
