Apace/WebDAV for Subversion on OpenSolaris

 
I have a Solaris Zone running Subversion and wanted to enable WebDAV for the repository.
I couldn’t find a good set of instructions for doing this anywhere, so this is what I put together.
Install Apache
As root…
pkg install SUNWapch22 svcs apache22 svcadm enable apache22
Load [...]

Create an OpenSolaris Zone to Run Subversion

 
I’ve taken to start using subversion as a repository/version control for my Audio and Video project files. This is how I set it up, using OpenSolaris zones and zfs. There may be better more efficient ways to set it up but this is what worked for me.
We already have OpenSolaris (snv_126) running, and we’ve [...]

Using flat files as iSCSI targets in OpenSolaris 2009.06

I tried using zvols to create iscsi targets (connecting with the globalSAN iscsi initiator on Mac OS X) on OpenSolaris 2009.06, however the performance was terrible. The culprit it turns out is the ZIL log and a “bug” that was fixed in 2009.06.

For more information on that:

Archive files to G-Mail

Box.net iPhone App Update

The Box.net app no longer requires the 2nd Generation iPod Touch. What took them so long to fix it?

Stream iTunes to iPhone/iPod Touch with Personal Web Sharing

Since it is equipped with WiFi, it occurs to me that it would be great if iTunes could stream to the iPod touch just as it does on the Apple TV. Sometimes I’m in bed and want to listen to an AudioBook or watch a Movie/TV Show I don’t have synced to my iPod Touch. [...]

I’m sure there’s a great LOL Cats joke that I can’t think of right now.

The Cat

Despite my wanting to name the cat “Cat” (seemed appropriate) we decided on Ripley.
 And yes I have now become one of those people who posts pictures of their cat that I have made fun of all these years–ironic if you like that sort of thing. 

I want a transparent Menu Bar so I can complain too

The transparent menu bar in Mac OS X Leopard is perhaps one of the two most controversial “enhancements” to the Operating System. One could say it’s a backhanded compliment to Apple when the biggest gripe anyone has with your brand new OS is the Menu Bar and the Dock. Anyway, I had gotten used to [...]
