What's the best practice for setting up a subversion repository on a linux development machine. External users need to be able to access a specific repository, but nothing else on the machine. I know one answer is to set up a dedicated repository, but I'm looking for a single machine solution: location of repositories, accounts, backup...
I am attempting to port one of my hobby project to linux. Preferrably to Mono since it is written in C#. But I am looking into Python as well. One of the feature of the application is that it needs to associate with a custom protocol so the application is invoked when the user clicks links like this on the app's website: myapp://module...
Does there exist a way to catch a write into write-protected page? I plan doing a self -like object system where you copy the object to instantiate it. (because it sounds simple and compact thing compared to the rest) Obviously, the objects created for this purpose ought be write-protected some way. I've seen there's a way to flag somet...

How to do tell linux to use the one in my home directory and not the one in /usr/bin. I added $HOME/usr/bin to my path, but it still executes the one in /usr/bin if I just use the gnuplo...
It's very annoying to have this limitation on my development box, when there won't ever be any users other than me. I'm aware of the standard workarounds, but none of them do exactly what I want: authbind (The version in Debian testing, 1.0, only supports IPv4) Using the iptables REDIRECT target to redirect a low port to a high port (...
Is it possible to integrate MS Outlook/Exchange tasks with Rails? I know how to send emails with Rails, but that isn't using anything "special" about exchange, just pointing it at the server. What is "special" about an Outlook Task and how I can I create/read/update/delete them from Rails. (Even a subset of CRUD would be great.) PS. I ...
I'm developing a Linux driver loadable module and I have to use another device in my driver.(kind of driver stacked on another driver) How do I call/use another driver in my driver? I think they are both in the kernel so there might be a way that can use another driver directly. ...

I do this all the time using VNC and it is very easy, but I am curious about a few things like XDMCP. As I understand it, this is a way of creating the entire desktop on a remote X-Server which seems fairly elegant. Several years ago, I worked on a Solaris server and multiple developers had X-Servers running in Windows and we were able ...
Hello, I'm an experienced .NET developer (c#/vb.net) (since beta) and I wanted to start checking out how to develop applications for Linux. I have done some Java programming as well. I have Ubuntu 8.10 Linux and was wondering what everyone was using as a tool for developing applications (for any Linux flavor) - is Java the best way to...

I'm currently using the usual technique in my Makefile to install individual files: install: install -D executable ${BIN_DIR} But I just ran across a situation where I need to move a whole directory and all files underneath it into place.

I'm working on a monitoring agent that works with systems using the Linux kernel. By opening /proc/stat , you can easily tell how much time one one or all CPUs (aggregate) is burning waiting for I/O requests to complete. I'm trying to find a way to break that number down so that I can differentiate between disk and network i/o. For inst...
Many of my users have been telling me that they'd like to run my software on their Linux machines under Wine. But I'm a Windows Developer who has practically no experience with Linux. Now I could spend a month or two installing Linux, learning Linux, installing Wine, learning Wine, and thoroughly ensure my application runs well under W...
What is the exact difference between SVN checkout and SVN export? From what I know, export does not include the .svn directory which include metadata, and checkout included that .svn directory. Yet, my colleague had this problem recently that there is a different behaviour for the stuff compiled from sources that is checkout and export...
I have a legacy application in our company built on... ahem; Classic VB (VB 6). It has got a optimizer(CPLEX MIP Solver) component running on a Linux server and is developed in Java.
