[SLUG] Git - merging individual diffs?

2009-08-10 Thread Sonia Hamilton
A git question: how do I merge just *some* diffs from branch A into branch B?

ie I want to do a sort of combination of git cherrypick  git add -i (patch 
mode) - pull in some of the diffs from some of the files from A revision x into 
B's HEAD.

I could just make another clone into another directory, git reset to revision 
x, and use vimdiff. But that seems inelegant :-)

There isn't anything automatic; I would probably use cherrypick to grab the
whole diff, then 'rebase -i' to go back and split it the way I wanted, but
that is reasonably manual too.

[SLUG] Taxes on sending servers to the US

2009-08-10 Thread Amos Shapira
Hello,

Does anyone here has experience sending servers (e.g. Dell PowerEdge
860 rack-mounted) TO the US?

I'm going to visit our office overseas soon and we were wondering how
much would it cost (tax-wise) to just pack a couple of them as a
checked-in luggage.

The sale closes soon so I need a quick answer.

Thanks,

--Amos

[SLUG] Text books on Monodevelopment

2009-08-10 Thread Chris Allen
I want to install MonoDeveleopment on my box (Ubuntu) with the via to 
learning C#.  I believe this package is also an IDE.
I have cut code for over 20 years in various languages but never with an 
ICE.  Consequently I am looking for a good test ha explains C# and this IDE.


In the past I, my 1 or 2 of my employers have suggest the I learn C# via 
Visual Studio in my spare time at work.
In each case the text book they supplied did not match the version of 
Visual studio installed Consequently I wasted more time struggling to 
match the text with the IDE than learning the language.


Can anyone recommend a a good text that matches the MonoDevelopment's IDE. 
A google search recommended Practical Mono but Dymocks says it's out of 
print.  Dymocks has several books about Visual Studio but nothing about 
Mono.

Mono will always lag behind C#. You are probably best learning C# in
Visual Studio and back porting your knowledge.

C# in a Nutshell will give you a comprehensive run through.  (It is
large. They must have big nuts in Perth.)

The enthusiasm for writing texts about Mono seems to have waned. At
http://www.mono-project.com/Books the books listed are over three years
old.
