hagui on Mac OS X

Posted by Ceri Davies Wed, 29 Aug 2007 22:16:00 GMT

VCS’ hagui is basically pointless, but I do like a live diagram of what’s going on when I’m creating new service groups. I also like my Mac, so here’s the quick how-to on getting it working on the Mac.

Extract the VRTScscm package from the install media, and copy it somewhere permanent. I’m using my home directory.

   $ gzip -dc VRTScscm.tar.gz | (cd /tmp; tar xf -)
   $ mv /tmp/VRTScscm/reloc/opt ${HOME}

Fix the VCS_HOME and JAVA_HOME variables in the hagui script.

   VCS_HOME="${HOME}/opt/VRTSvcs"
   JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home

I create a symlink for convenience.

   $ ln -s ../opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagui ${HOME}/bin

Job’s done. While you’re here, this is the best video on YouTube, JFYI.

404s fixed

Warren at Planet SysAdmin pointed out that my RSS feed was 404’ing.

In fact, everything under Rails was 404’ing since I upgraded to lighttpd 1.4.16; this is now fixed. Lighttpd bug 1270 refers.

What to do...

Posted by Ceri Davies Fri, 24 Aug 2007 20:22:00 GMT

I’m feeling really deflated in front a computer of late.

I think this is a mixture of:

  1. Reaching the “write everything up” stage of a fun project I’ve been working on for the last 9 months (perhaps I will write about this sometime);

  2. Not having time to focus on anything at home (Max is lovely but all-encompassing);

  3. It seems that I have read the entire Internet;

  4. Shouty old dicks being rude to each other in a particular open-source project every time I open my mail.

Even while reviewing the new Absolute FreeBSD I had to print everything out and annotate with pencil.

So if you’re wondering where I am, or why I haven’t responded to an email, meh.
