Back to Fedora14
Ok, I'm now back to Fedora 14, as I write I'm updating my freshly installed Fedora 14. The last drop was: "yum -y upgrade" and then NetworkManager wont start any more. Sorry, there is not the slightest chance that I can work without Internet. So, good buy Fedora 15 and welcome back Fedora 14.
Maybe is time to try out Ubuntu once again.
That is it for today.

A word about Fedora 15: DO NOT UPGRADE
Ok, I'm using Fedora 15 now for about 3 days and I just got around to make nouveau accept my side-kick monitor and make it work more or less seamlessly.
Before you even think about upgrading to Fedora 15 please read this critique first (if had read it before installing I wouldn't): http://ranjith.zfs.in/g/.
So, which are my current issues with it (mainly Gnome 3 and video drivers)?
- No right-click on Gnome 3 (this is correct, right-click is disabled or ignored).
- Nouveau does not support GLX (read, no 3D acceleration) my video card properly: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
- nVidia proprietary driver does NOT work with external monitor and does NOT work at all with regular monitor (it is like you can move the mouse cursor and click around but no visual feedback). I tried the akmod version (270.41.06-1.fc15) and the nVidia version (270.41.19), none worked.
- Currently there is no updated issue of the RPMFusion repository for Fedora 15 (you need to install the rawhide version).
This means that my next issue of the Fedora road map will wait until I can manage to work those issues around (I'm seriously thinking about a downgrade to Fedora 14). This really brings not so fond RedHat 8.0 memories (for those of you long enough on the road to remember that nightmare).
Anyway, the current road map works almost ok (except that you need to install the rawhide version of RPMFusion):
#---
rpm -Uvhi http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvhi http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm

Git server on CentOS 5.5
This post is adapted from: http://www.davegardner.me.uk/blog/2010/01/29/setting-up-git-on-centos-5-server/
A. Yum Repositories:
You will need EPEL repository:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
#---
rpm -Uivh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
#---
B. Getting git installed:
1. Install Git and XinetD daemon:
#---
yum -y install \
git \
git-daemon
#---
All your repositories are under [/var/lib/git].
To change that just follow these instructions (I rather not change it):
1.1. Changing Git root dir
#---
MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR=>where will all git projects be<
mkdir -p ${MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR}
chmod 755 ${MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR}
chown root:root ${MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR}
#---
1.2. Adjust the daemon xinetd setup to use the new directory: /etc/xinetd.d/git
...
server_args = --base-path=>where will all git projects be< ...
...
2. Put XinetD to run:
#---
service xinetd restart
chkconfig --level 345 xinetd on

3. Creating a project:
After that you just need to follow the instructions given on the link below:
http://thelucid.com/2008/12/02/git-setting-up-a-remote-repository-and-doing-an-initial-push/
A. Yum Repositories:
You will need EPEL repository:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
#---
rpm -Uivh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
#---
B. Getting git installed:
1. Install Git and XinetD daemon:
#---
yum -y install \
git \
git-daemon
#---
All your repositories are under [/var/lib/git].
To change that just follow these instructions (I rather not change it):
1.1. Changing Git root dir
#---
MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR=>where will all git projects be<
mkdir -p ${MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR}
chmod 755 ${MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR}
chown root:root ${MY_GIT_ROOT_DIR}
#---
1.2. Adjust the daemon xinetd setup to use the new directory: /etc/xinetd.d/git
...
server_args = --base-path=>where will all git projects be< ...
...
2. Put XinetD to run:
#---
service xinetd restart
chkconfig --level 345 xinetd on
#---

Bugtracking using Trac
This documentation is aimed at version 0.12
http://trac.edgewall.org
This documentation heavily based on the official documentation, so if you are unsure about something address it:
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall
A. Prerequisites:
1. Database
I will use a MySQL database, but you could also use PostgreSQL or a local DB file (through Sqlite). So first you install the Server, if do not have one, and create the database according to the documentation, that I reproduce here.
#---
yum -y install \
mysql-server \
mysql \
MySQL-python
#---
I need "root" access for the following steps. (If have some "root" related problems please address to my corresponding post.)
http://gka-linux.blogspot.com/2010/03/mysql-root-password-reset.html
1.2. Start the server (if necessary):
#---
service mysqld restart
chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
#---
1.3. Get "root" MySQL shell:
#---
## skip this part if you already have a working MySQL server
## mysql_secure_installation
mysql -u root -p
#---
1.4. Create the database (on the shell):
CREATE DATABASE trac DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
USE trac;
GRANT ALL ON trac.* TO tracuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '<plain text root password for trac>';
NOTE: Your connection string will be (remember it): mysql://tracuser:<plain text root password for trac>@localhost/trac
2. Version Control System:
For this example Subversion (SVN) which I already documented here:
http://gka-linux.blogspot.com/2009/07/subversion-and-apache-with-pam.html
Or Git:
http://gka-linux.blogspot.com/2011/03/git-server-on-centos-55.html
3. Apache
I assume that you already have an Apache server and want to put Trac along with other pages you may have.
3.1. Additional packages:
#---
yum -y install \
mod_fcgid \
mod_python \
mod_wsgi
#---
B. The Trac:
OBS.: For CentOS boxes, you need RPMForge repository (or else you are bound to the version 0.10):
#---
wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
#---
1. Installing things:
1.1. Fedora:
#---
yum -y install \
trac \
trac-git-plugin \
trac-mercurial-plugin \
trac-iniadmin-plugin \
trac-accountmanager-plugin \
trac-customfieldadmin-plugin \
trac-peerreview-plugin \
trac-privateticketsplugin \
trac-ticketdelete-plugin \
trac-spamfilter-plugin
#---
1.2. CentOS:
#---
yum -y install \
trac \
trac-git-plugin \
trac-mercurial-plugin \
trac-iniadmin-plugin \
trac-peerreview-plugin \
trac-ticketdelete-plugin \
trac-spamfilter-plugin
#---
1.2.1 MySQL-python:
Because CentOS comes with MySql-python 1.2.1 (and this version does NOT work with Trac) you need to upgrade this manually:
#---
wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/MySQL-python-1.2.2-3.el5s2.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh MySQL-python-1.2.2-3.el5s2.x86_64.rpm
#---
2. Start the setup process:
#---
PRJ_NAME="<project name>"
PRJ_DIR=`echo $PRJ_NAME | tr [A-Z] [a-z] | sed -e "s/[^[:alnum:]]/\./g"`
DB_CONN="mysql://tracuser:<plain text root password for trac>@localhost/trac"
#DB_CONN="sqlite:db/trac.db"
REPOS_TYPE="git" # could be one of: "git", "mercurie" or "svn"
REPOS_DIR="/var/lib/git/${PRJ_NAME}.git"
TRAC_DIR="/var/local/trac"
TRAC_PRJS_DIR="${TRAC_DIR}/projects"
TRAC_PRJ_DIR="${TRAC_PRJS_DIR}/${PRJ_DIR}"
mkdir -p ${TRAC_PRJ_DIR}
trac-admin ${TRAC_PRJ_DIR} initenv "${PRJ_NAME}" "${DB_CONN}" "${REPOS_TYPE}" "${REPOS_DIR}"
#---
NOTE: If something goes wrong and you want to do it again just remove the directory (but be aware that the Trac content will be lost):
#---
rm -rf ${TRAC_DIR}
#---
2.1. CentOS:
Currently there is an open issue with GitPlugin and Trac working together on CentOS:
http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/3757
http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/8102
2.2. Git Repository setup:
#---
cat >> ${TRAC_PRJ_DIR}/conf/trac.ini << __END__
[git]
cached_repository = false
git_bin = /usr/bin/git
persistent_cache = false
shortrev_len = 7
[components]
tracext.git.* = enabled
__END__
#---
3. Setting up the Apache server:
I prefer this more complicated option because the odds are that you do not need yet another server running. Another assumption is that you will have several projects that also need separated tracking "spaces". For instance, you may start using technology "X" and latter on decide to migrate everything to technology "Y", so you probably do not want to mix bugs from "X" with "Y". This is, of course, obvious if you have software factory.
3.1. Create Web content (per project):
#---
TMP_DIR=`mktemp -d`
rm -rf ${TMP_DIR}
trac-admin ${TRAC_PRJ_DIR} deploy ${TMP_DIR}
mv ${TMP_DIR}/* ${TRAC_PRJ_DIR}
rm -rf ${TMP_DIR}
#---
3.2. Global configuration file (/etc/httpd/conf.d/trac.conf):
#---
cat > /etc/httpd/conf.d/trac.conf << __END__
#Global environment for Trac's CGI
<LocationMatch /cgi-bin/trac\.f?cgi>
SetEnv TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR "${TRAC_PRJS_DIR}"
</LocationMatch>
#Special environment for Trac's FastCGI CGI
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
<LocationMatch /cgi-bin/trac\.fcgi>
FCGIDDefaultInitEnv TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR ${TRAC_PRJS_DIR}
</LocationMatch>
</IfModule>
#Python environment
<IfModule mod_python.c>
<LocationMatch "/trac/[^/]+/cgi-bin/trac.cgi>
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnvParentDir ${TRAC_PRJS_DIR}
</LocationMatch>
</IfModule>
##
# Authentication @ ${TRAC_DIR}/trac.htpasswd
# To add a new user:
# htpasswd ${TRAC_DIR}/trac.htpasswd <username>
#
##
<LocationMatch "/trac/[^/]+/login">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Trac"
AuthUserFile ${TRAC_DIR}/trac.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>
__END__
#---
3.3. Project specific configuration file (/etc/httpd/conf.d/trac-"<project name>".conf):
#---
cat > /etc/httpd/conf.d/trac-${PRJ_DIR}.conf << __END__
### Regular CGI
#ScriptAlias /trac/${PRJ_DIR} ${TRAC_PRJ_DIR}/cgi-bin/trac.cgi
### Fast CGI (default)
ScriptAlias /trac/${PRJ_DIR} ${TRAC_PRJ_DIR}/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi
__END__
#---
3.4. Authentication (via password file):
3.4.1. Creating the file AND admin user (JUST this ONE time):
#---
htpasswd -c ${TRAC_DIR}/trac.htpasswd admin
#---
3.4.2. Creating a regular user (notice the lack of '-c' parameter):
#---
htpasswd ${TRAC_DIR}/trac.htpasswd <username>
#---
3.4.3. Or use a generic safe single line:
#---
PASSFILE="${TRAC_DIR}/trac.htpasswd"
htpasswd `([[ -f ${PASSFILE} ]] && echo "" || echo "-c")` ${PASSFILE} admin
#---
#---
htpasswd `([[ -f ${PASSFILE} ]] && echo "" || echo "-c")` ${PASSFILE} <username>
#---
3.4.4. Check it out:
#---
cat ${PASSFILE}
#---
3.5. Security and SElinux:
3.5.1. SElinux and Trac:
#---
echo /usr/bin/chcon -R -v -t httpd_t \'${TRAC_DIR}\' | bash
#---
3.5.2. SElinux and Repository:
#---
echo /usr/bin/chcon -R -v -t httpd_t \'${REPOS_DIR}\' | bash
#---
4. Access and test:
#---
service httpd restart
firefox "http://localhost/trac/${PRJ_DIR}"
#---
C. Important files and directories:
1. Content:
/var/local/trac
2. Setup:
/var/local/trac/projects/<your project>/conf/trac.ini
3. Apache config:
3.1. General setup:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/trac.conf
3.2. Your project:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/trac-<your project>.conf

#---
-- Note about the driver:
It messes the font resolution up (IMHO). So to keep the same aspect between the normal driver and the NVIDIA driver you need to edit the file: [/etc/X11/xorg.conf] and add the following line in the section Device:
Option "DPI" "90 x 90"
My section device looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
#Driver "nouveau"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

-- Update your system:
#---
yum -y upgrade
#---
- Install and setup third-part programs
-- VirtualBox/VMware
-- Skype
-- Real Player (check for the RPM version)
-- Sun Java
-- Eclipse
-- NetBeans
- For a better experience when installing third-part software from Danger Mouse:
#---
rpm -Uvh http://dnmouse.org/autoten-4.6-4.fc13.noarch.rpm
#---
- Setup printers
- Backup [/etc] and [/boot/grub]
#---
tar -czf bkp-system.`/bin/date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.tgz /etc /boot/grub
#---
- Some issues:
-- Acrobat Reader install its Firefox/Mozilla plug-in, which has a memory leak. I recommend to remove it. To do so:
-- Skype may need some extra configuration (see link for 64bits) and some SELinux relaxation (see link for SELinux).
#---
rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so

-- Adobe Flash for 64bits:
1. go to http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
2. download the latest version for linux (a tar.gz file)
2.1. for me it was: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_1_rc6_linux_052510.tar.gz
3. install it:
#---
tar -vxzf <file.tar.gz> -C /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
#---
4. restart browser
5. check if it is working: about:plugins

-- Note about the driver:
It messes the font resolution up (IMHO). So to keep the same aspect between the normal driver and the NVIDIA driver you need to edit the file: [/etc/X11/xorg.conf] and add the following line in the section Device:
Option "DPI" "90 x 90"
My section device looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
#Driver "nouveau"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DPI" "90 x 90"
