[GENERAL] Gitorious

2013-03-07 Thread Neanderthelle Jones
Was thinking of installing Gitorious but it's weird. You run install as root, it downloads and installs programs, dunno which ones, seems you don't need to know, but including mysql, and then of all things it wants you to reboot the host, i.e. it needs a host dedicated to Gitorious. It seems you

2012-08-15 Thread Neanderthelle Jones
We are getting a strange thing happening if the lo_export(attr, path) destination is a fifo. First, in the normal case, there is output to the file but also feedback to stdout (or somewhere, appearing on the VT screen) of the number 1. --- 1 (1 row) Now, if the destination file
