I was (and I suppose still am) a huge fan of subversion.  I
loved RCS, hated CVS, and found subversion to be a God-send.
I started using git about 3 weeks ago, and in that short
time I've found that its flexibility has already changed
my work flow (for the better).  In particular, it is actually
*easy* to merge. The decentralized nature of it is
really nice for (at least) one big reason--it strongly
encourages 'commit-early, commit often',  since you can
munge your own repository as much as you want, and then only
push clean versions into the central repository.



Another point: consider the case in which you spend an hour
working, and then realize that you do not want to incorporate
those changes into the trunk.  In subversion, if you didn't
make a branch an hour ago, you've got a little bit of
work to do: make a branch now and switch your working copy
to it.  (I know, it doesn't seem like much work, but it
is a kludge.)  With git, you simply declare the current
working copy to be a new branch.  This is perhaps not a good
description of the issue, and undoubtedly will not convince
anyone of anything, but I think it's indicative of why
the subsequent merge is so much cleaner.


Do you need help?X

I was reluctant to investigate git for reasons which are
unclear to me, and was frankly somewhat offended by Linus'
comments that "subversion is the most pointless open-source
project ever started" along with remarks like "subversion
says it is 'CVS done right'...which says a lot about
why it is lousy [massively paraphrased due to memory loss]".
However, Linus generally knows what he's talking about,
and I respect him enough to give some credence to his
opinions.  I still like subversion, but I suspect it is
only because I am required to use it in some situations.



Maybe I'm overstating things, but it's possible that
Linus will end up being remembered for creating git
rather than for creating the Linux kernel.  It really is
that good.

I have had really terrible experiences trying to get support for

That is what I expect to see but it does not explain why it is
offering itself as a DNS server.  To me this is confirmation of the
bug.



To continue debugging this I would capture a network trace of the dhcp
transaction using 'tcpdump' and then decode it using 'ethereal'.
Ethereal has a decode module for most packet types and is a great tool
for debugging anything network related.  I expect you would find
explicitly in the data packet the bad router address offerred as a dns
server.  But perhaps now.  Regardless it would be hard data.



I also see that 'dhcpdump' is packaged for Debian.  I found it just
now by searching the package database.  It looks interesting because
it is targeted and so perhaps "just the tool" for your problem.  I
have never used it but it looks useful.



  apt-cache show dhcpdump


  Description: Parse DHCP packets from tcpdump
   This package provides a tool for visualization of DHCP packets as
   recorded and output by tcpdump to analyze DHCP server responses.

It is very pleasant to hear that you can forget entirely about those
other systems.  That is the way that it should be. :-)

They are clearly lying!  My Beling router also offers itself as a DNS
server.

I can only report that I have a Belkin router working just fine.  It is
offering itself as DNS but where your router configuration doesn't hold
any IP addresses for my ISP's DNS mine does[1].  I'm not entirely sure
how they ended up there :-)

I've done more tests and these are my conclusions:



  1.   if I run the above grub commands from the `target' partition everything goes
   well: e.g., if I want to install hda6 grub boot loader to the mbr, I have to
   do:




   # grub

   grub > root (hd0,5)
   grub > setup (hd0)
   grub > quit


   from hda6; instead, if I want to install hda9 grub boot loader to the mbr, I
   have to do:



   # grub

   grub > root (hd0,8)
   grub > setup (hd0)
   grub > quit


   from hda9.  This way things seems to go fine.



2) If I give those commands from Knoppix 5.0, they work for Etch, whereas Sarge


   does not manage to boot any more: I have to get back to Knoppix and install
   Etch grub to mbr, boot from there into Sarge and there install grub to mbr.


Do you need more help?X

So, if I want to use those commands, from Knoppix, to, say, restore Linux boot
after a Windows installation, they are not supposed to work with Sarge, whereas
they should with Etch.



What do you think?



Bye,


Rodolfo

I am using 1.5.0.10.  The change log makes it sound like it provides the

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --

make


make install



And,is there a cache in debian linux?I run phpinfo and it told me the
php.ini was located in /usr/local/php/lib,however,there is no such
file.Although i use cmd find / -name php.ini and then rm every php.ini
it found.the php can still work well.So my question is:



where is php config file stored?


How many config file it used?


Is debian use cache for config file?

IMO, it is all working as it is supposed to.  As for Sarge, I wouldn't know 
because I never used Sarge.  My first Debian was Etch, and it didn't last 
long because I am the sort that prefers the bleeding edge.



Remember that Knoppix is based on Sid/Experimental, so of course the grub that 
it uses is much newer than that of Sarge, and depending on which version of 
Knoppix one uses, could be newer than that in Etch.



I would strongly recommend just converting your Sarge system to Etch, but I 
can understand your reluctance to do so.  But, like I said before, once the 
MBR is written, then just adjust grub's menu.lst file and have it boot any 
system you want.  If you add new systems, you don't *have* to let the 
installation install grub, since it's already there, but you would have to 
tell your menu.lst where to fine the new system.   That is just another Title 
entry into the grub's menu.lst


Confused? Frustrated?X

Best of luck to you.  I think you're getting the hang of the grub commands.

Hi,



I want to compile the newest (2.6.21.5) kernel on my Debian lenny 
Centrino laptop. In http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org (2.2) is 
stated that the kernel offered in Debian repository is:



  "obtained by taking the source from linux-major_version.orig.tar.gz 
(that is, pristine kernel source, processed by the prune-non-free 
script) and applying a set of Debian patches. These patches typically 
implement essential fixes for serious bugs and security holes."



Are the essential fixes supplied by the debian patches the same as the 
kernel.org ones, or it is simply coincidence that the latest version 
number of the kernel.org kernel (2.6.21.5) and the debian one (2.6.21-5) 
are the same? And if not, can I apply them to my kernel.org kernel?


Call Pantek today for Open Source Technical Support at 1-877-546-8934 - 24/7/365X

In the end which approach will give me the kernel with the latest 
security patches?


	Cheers,

Is there any reason why the php5 packaged for debian is not sufficient
for your purposes?  See the libapache2-mod-php5 and php5-mysql
packages.

php works just fine without a php.ini available.  It will simply use
the compiled in defaults for all those settings.

You said tar -cvf ? -c stands for "create", not compression... tar -cvzf
would do a gzip compression. Maybe your archive isn't zipped at all.

That did not work, thanks anyway.
I also tried completely removing iceape,iceweasel, all transition files for 
both & virtually any other type of references to anythin related to mozilla. 
I reinstalled a new browser system and applied the stumble-upon 
extension...still does not work.
Thanks/

-------------------------------------------------
Well I did this as a round about way but by changing the about:config tip 
given by another poster, & then using the add-ons page that you gave me I got 
it working by installing the extension directly into iceape from the page 
address you listed. 
Thanks all!!!
