Some versions of CPAN (notably, the one that ships with Red Hat / CentOS 4.6, v1.7601) will automatically attempt to create a ‘Makefile.PL’ script if a module you’re trying to install through CPAN is missing one. However, sometimes this may lead to an error during the module installation, usually something like: “Too early to specify a build action ‘Build’. Do ‘Build Build’ instead.”. This appears to be caused by a missing argument to ExtUtils::MakeMaker’s WriteMakefile subroutine. If the ‘PL_FILES’ argument doesn’t exist, MakeMaker will incorrectly attempt to use the Build.PL file included with the module. Read the rest of this entry »
Per-directory access restrictions with Trac and Subversion (mod_svn)
by admin
The below assumes that you are requiring a login to access Subversion over http(s) and Trac, and that the credentials users use for each service are the same.
Your access control file:
Both Trac and mod_svn use the same access control file format, so you should only need one file for both. The file format is described in some detail here, but I’ll go over some basics. Read the rest of this entry »
Busy holidays, and back to blogging
by Michael Klatsky
It’s been a long, busy holiday- and now time to resume blogging. My latest interest is testing our mysql servers using mysqlslap. While a great tool, it is unfortunately only distributed with MySQL 5.1.4 and above. However, many of our servers are in the 5.0 release, with some in the 4.x release. What I did was grab the latest 5.1.x version of mysql, compile it statically and test it out on a MYSQL 5.0.45 version, and it worked just fine. I have yet to test it on another machine, or against a version other than 5.0.45. I’ll update when I do.
Here are the steps I took:
1) wget “http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.30.tar.gz/from/http://mysql.llarian.net/”
2) tar -xf mysql-5.1.30.tar.gz&&cd mysql-5.1.30
3) ./configure –without-server –disable-shared
4) make&&cp -i ./client/mysqlslap /usr/local/bin/
