A blog on rails, php, computing, my bass guitar and stuff

Met onze super-stabiele connectie op het kantoor wil rsync er nog wel eens uitklappen. Dus als je dan ‘s ochtends kijkt hoe ver ‘ie is kom je er achter dat rsync gestopt is. Daarom een rrsync. Gebasseerd op deze link: http://blog.iangreenleaf.com/2009/03/rsync-and-retrying-until-we-get-it.html maar iets beter gemaakt zodat het rsync commando er niet hard in staat:

(Misschien dat de indent niet helemaal goed is)

#!/bin/bash

### ABOUT
### Runs rsync, retrying on errors up to a maximum number of tries.
### Simply edit the rsync line in the script to whatever parameters you need.

# Trap interrupts and exit instead of continuing the loop
trap "echo Exited!; exit;" SIGINT SIGTERM

MAX_RETRIES=50
i=0
# Set the initial return value to failure
false

while [ $? -ne 0 -a $i -lt $MAX_RETRIES ]
do
i=$(($i+1))
`which rsync` $*
done

if [ $i -eq $MAX_RETRIES ]
then
echo "Hit maximum number of retries, giving up."
fi

I got an error when building the 2.32 version for ubuntu. Some packages once where installed but got removed. But they still had the status rc.

So I purged them with the help of this blog.

I compiled evolution with the help of a Makefile that I downloaded.

I had to add the “maverick” distro and install some additional packages such as:

• gobject-introspection
• autopoint
• libgdata-dev

I removed the evolution-exchange plugin.

The master branch of gweather required gtk3 so I changed that to: gnome-2.30 (or something)
I had to apply a patch to solve a build error.

The last few days I’ve been spending my time on creating a website with Zend Framework. A lot of it I liked but the Zend_db stuff is is a complicated piece of crap. I’ve worked with a lot of ORM’s and db api’s but the Zend_db stuff is really the most awfull I’ve had till now.

I really, really don’t want to work with it ever again and I regret that I chose ZF for this particular project just because of the db layer.

A very nice article about installing the non-free-codes (wmv, wma, et cetera) in 10.04!
