New Projects pages and Gengo update.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

I’ve been adding pages for my Projects. Previously this kind of data was on Trac, but I’ve never been using it actively. And I’m mostly using git for my new development instead of subversion.

I could have used Trac with git, but for project presentation WordPress pages are good enough.

But I wanted to have comments on some pages, which meant a theme update and another Gengo fix. Also I’ve done a big history rewrite by moving my version of gengo to git. If ever Jamie Talbot is really seriously considering starting development again. Then I hope he can pick some patches from my version ;)

OpenPGP key migration

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I’ve generated a new OpenPGP key, and I’m now using this new key.

See my migration message for details.

Anyway if you are using my repository and get the following error:

W: GPG error: http://silicone.homelinux.org unstable Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8B306538D00E52B6

All you have to do is to get the new key and import it to apt again.
The key is stored as before in siliconerepositorykey.asc and you can import it with:

sudo apt-key add siliconerepositorykey.asc

moving… home and server

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
Version française :déménagement ... serveur compris

Well this server is home hosted over our DSL connection, so it had to move too ;)

That explain the one week offline period two weeks ago, if anyone (other than google) noticed.

So the moving has taken most of my time, I had to pack everything including my electronic stuff so the projects didn’t move much…

Also I offered myself an EeePC 1201HA, I wanted the 12 inch screen to get something more usable than the 701p. However it comes with windows 7 and the chipset is a gma500 (pouslbo) which does not help for linux, but I managed to get debian on it (still some to do, see a later post for details).

WordPress and plugin upgrade

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Version française :Mises à jour de Wordpress et des plugins

After yesterday’s trouble, I just upgraded all my plugins.

Gengo’s URI renaming scheme with language code at the end was leading to an infinite redirect (adding fr+en/ to the URI) so I had to disable it. But doing so breaks the existing URI on your bookmarks (if you had some) and on Google…
So I hacked gengo again so that if the URI ends with a language code, it is redirected to the basic URI.
A recent reading : Cool URIs don’t change is just about keeping the URI, here I’m redirecting, that’s not as good, but at least you wont get the 404 ;)

The link was on Peter Eisentraut’s Blog. I was reading his article about Remove and Purge. I was tempted to do the same, I even did for a few days. Then I read the comments, and ended using aptitude l~c view ;) . I was previously using synaptic only for purging residual configuration…

becoming bilingual

Saturday, March 21st, 2009
Version française :Mon blog devient bilingue

Thanks to the Gengo plug-in my blog is becoming bilingual.

Obviously things are never that simple, Gengo is not ready for WordPress 2.7 so I had to install the development version… I justs have to check that it works!

  • French layout was kind of strange, English seams more ok… for now!

Don’t worry non-french reader’s (do I have any reader yet anyway) I will continue to write in english.

WordPress 2.7.1 !

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Now that Lenny is out, testing is moving again !

So I could upgrade my wordpress debian package to the testing version and get the 2.7.1 !

Note that my system is still running lenny (stable), this is using basic apt pinning, the more basic you can do is :

  1. add 
    APT::Default-Release "stable";

    in /etc/apt/apt.conf (or in one file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d)

  2. then add the tesing distrib in your source.list !
  3. Finally 
    sudo aptitude update

    and that’s it you can install some specific packages from testing.

However to use stable, testing and unstable you have to really do the pinning !

But for testing, unstable and experimental the above method with testing as default release will works. Just because experimental has NEVER automatic upgrade.

Finally installed WordPress on my home Debian server.

I’ll need to work on a theme later… and an integration with zenphoto and trac to share more stuff.
