mbuf | a very common error that students make is using SMS language; it is considered very unprofessional to use it |
mbuf | even before we began this IRC channel, some of you were using "u" "k" etc. |
mepco_jagadesh | ? |
mbuf | it is really, really bad, and unprofessional for engineers to do so |
*arunprakash (~arun@115.184.210.158) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | slide #13 |
mepco_babu | why cannot buy a knowledge as enginner |
mbuf | mepco_babu, not now please |
mepco_jagadesh | why we should not use sms language |
mbuf | mepco_jagadesh, mepco_babu please don't interrupt the conversation |
*mepco_poovannan has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
mbuf | mepco_jagadesh, mepco_babu will take the discussion after the presentation |
mepco_ummul | ? |
mbuf | mepco_ummul, not questions now; please refrain from using ? |
mbuf | to end a sentence please use a full-stop, don't put dots like (...) |
mbuf | slide #15 |
mbuf | end a sentence with a full-stop. Start a new sentence with a capital letter |
mbuf | slide #16 |
mbuf | typing in capital letter means that you are shouting at everyone in the channel or the mailing list group |
*zer0c00l` is now known as zer0c00l |
mepco_jagan | ? |
mbuf | people mistakenly think that by typing in capital letters that they are seeking the users' attention |
mbuf | slide #17 |
mbuf | another common mistake is to reply above the previous quoted e-mail |
mepco_nadhiya | ? |
mbuf | mepco_jagadesh, mepco_nadhiya please don't use "?" now; let me finish the presentation |
mbuf | when you write answers in exam, you always write below the question, not above; the same applies to e-mail as well |
mbuf | slide #18 |
mepco_sujin | ? |
mbuf | always use interleaved, trimmed, bottom posting when replying to e-mai |
mbuf | slide #19 |
mepco_jagan | y should not start with double quotes(") |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, not now please; note your question down, and then we can discuss it at the end |
mepco_sujin | ok |
mbuf | mepco_jagan, please don't ask now! |
mbuf | when you have a continuous mailing list discussion, it is common for people to over-quote as you see in the slide |
mbuf | kindly refrain from over-quoting when replying via e-mail |
mepco_jagadesh | k jagan |
mbuf | slide #20 |
mbuf | not all e-mail clients can understand HTML e-mail; it is courtesy to always send plain ASCII text e-mail |
mbuf | no fancy bold, italics, colour etc; |
mbuf | slide #21 |
mepco_babu | ? |
mbuf | lot of people in India don't have broadband connection, so sending huge attachments to mailing lists is bad practice |
mepco_jagadesh | babu don't use ? |
mbuf | same with Forwarding e-mails, and things like if you send this to 10 people etc. |
mbuf | please avoid these |
mbuf | slide #22 |
mbuf | people who participate in social networking websites give their e-mail passwords away without knowing that these websites login to your e-mail accounts and send invites to all your friends |
mbuf | if you are in a mailing list, then everyone gets the invite; don't give your passwords away! |
mbuf | slide #23 |
mbuf | in corporate networks, sometimes companies attach disclaimer content as shown; these are against the philosophy of Free/Open Source software; |
mbuf | kindly avoid using corporate e-mail accounts when participating in free/open source software mailing lists |
mbuf | slide #24 |
mbuf | there are people who don't have high-speed Internet connectivity, and use digest mode for e-mails, where, they receive a summary of all e-mail discussions in that week as a single e-mail |
mbuf | but, when they reply to the mailing list, they retain the same subject line, and all the e-mail discussions |
mbuf | so, people who receive e-mail as they arrive, will get confused about this digest mode |
mbuf | so, if you don't know how to use digest-mode, refrain from using it |
mbuf | slide #25 |
mbuf | an example of how one person has replied, with a big chain of messages |
mbuf | slide #26 |

mbuf | slide #29 |
mbuf | slide #30 |
mbuf | slide #31 |
mbuf | slide #32 |
mbuf | slide #33 |
mbuf | most of the questions that new comers to free/open source software face are already solved by someone else |
mbuf | so it is important to search online with the help of search engines like Google, so you see how to solve them |
mbuf | slide #34 |
mbuf | don't click on any URLs now; they are only for references; you can browse the links later |
mbuf | slide #35 |
mbuf | if you decide to work with a free/open source project, and you contact a mentor or developer. try to write something about yourself |
mbuf | there is more to life than just coding |
mbuf | slide #36 |
mbuf | don't write like these |
mbuf | slide #37 |
mbuf | some people become very enthusiastic about GNU/Linux, free/open source software that they decide to do a final year project just for the sake of it |
mbuf | if you are really not interested or keen on it, don't work on it |
mbuf | #38 |
mbuf | the slide says it all |
mbuf | #39 |
mbuf | #40 |
mbuf | #41 |
mbuf | communication is very, very important |
mbuf | if both of us didn't know English, then we will not be having this conversation |
mbuf | #42 |
mbuf | lot of people are interested in only one programming language |
mbuf | it is important to use the right programming language to solve the right computer problem |
mbuf | #43 |
*FranciscoD stumbles in |
mbuf | #44 |
mbuf | there are various communication tools available in the free/open source community |
mbuf | each has its own uses |
mbuf | #45 |
mbuf | mostly blogs use RSS/Atom feeds |
mbuf | #46 |
mbuf | you are familiar with e-mail, of course |
*mepco_jagadesh has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | #47 |
mbuf | if you ask a question, you need to put a question mark '?' at the end of the sentence |
mbuf | generally not replying, means either one of the two |
mbuf | so communicate effectively |
mbuf | #48 |
mbuf | if you are stuck with something or not sure how to proceed, learn to speak out (not now of course, until I finish the presentation) |
mbuf | #49 |
mbuf | forums, mailing list groups, you are familiar with; just follow the mailing list guidelines |
mbuf | #50 |
mbuf | #51 |
mbuf | what you are using now is Internet Relay Chat (IRC) which most free/open source software developers use |
mbuf | #52 |
mbuf | you are probably using xchat |
mbuf | #53 |
mbuf | there are also instant messengers available |
mbuf | #54 |
mbuf | in case, you want to speak with others, voice chat is also possible |
mbuf | #55 |
*mepco_vinoth has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | for documentation, one needs to use a common wiki |
mbuf | this is similar to Wikipedia |
mbuf | every department/college can have one, giving information about the institute, courses etc. (for example) |
mbuf | #56 |
mbuf | #57 |
mbuf | #58 |
*arunmosespaul_me is now known as arunmosespaul |
mbuf | today, English is the communication language in the Industry |
mbuf | #59 |
*mepco_kala has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | what most students lack is reading comprehension; ability to read an English sentence and understand it |
mbuf | all technical manuals are mostly in English only |
mbuf | reading English newspapers, novels helps in this process |
mbuf | grammar doesn't matter, but, atleast before typing, do a spell-check |
mbuf | #60 |
mbuf | during the project work, it is good to discuss your progress with the mentor during the weekend |
mbuf | #61 |
mbuf | e-mail is preferred |
mbuf | #62 |
mbuf | The advantage of using free/open source software is that you have the source code, and any problem, usually error/output messages are logged |
mbuf | so it helps to paste them from the source code, we can tell which function is being triggerd or what is causing the problem |
mbuf | #63 |
mbuf | something we don't see in India :) |
mepco_boopathi | jagan |
mbuf | tomorrow if you go abroad, you will observe that everything moves by time |
mbuf | learning to work with time is important |
mbuf | #64 |
mbuf | communication is important; it is always good to keep everyone informed, whether you are able to make it or not to meets |
mbuf | #65 |
mbuf | I have said this already |
mbuf | #66 |
mbuf | #67 |
mbuf | most students have not really done any hands-on session, so they struggle the first time they do it; |
mbuf | nobody said you will not fall riding the bicycle the first time |
mbuf | so, it is important to take things as a challenge and strive to achieve |
mbuf | yes, we cannot do the entire project, you have to put in lot of effort |
mbuf | #68 |
mbuf | small drops make a mighty ocean |
mbuf | as you finish small tasks, your confidence will improve, and it will help your progress |
mbuf | #69 |
mbuf | last minute studying doesn't help really; you are only cheating yourself |
mbuf | try to be honest and work |
mbuf | if you finish work daily, you will not feel the burden before the project deadline |
mbuf | #70 |
mbuf | learning should be continuous |
mbuf | it is a steep curve for starters |
mbuf | and it is stiff competition in this world; so be prepared |
mbuf | #71 |
mbuf | when asking a question, always try to give detailed information about it |
mbuf | #72 |
mbuf | #73 |
mbuf | self-explanatory |
mbuf | #74 |
mbuf | blogging is part of the free/open source software culture; if you don't have one; create it, and try to update it daily on your work |
mbuf | you never know, you will have followers one day |
mbuf | #75 |
mbuf | if you are asked 7 questions, try to answer all of them; don't skip something in between; |
mbuf | attention to details is essential for engineers |
mbuf | there are usually steps that lead from point A to B to C; if you skip B, you will not reach point C |
mbuf | #76 |
mbuf | at this age, it is not uncommon to boast around, and act like a leader; it always helps to be humble in life |
mbuf | #77 |
mbuf | always keep everyone informed in your team |
mbuf | #78 |
mbuf | as humans we make mistakes, but, we have to learn from them; |
mbuf | repeating them often is not going to give you any name or credit |
mbuf | #79 |
mbuf | fair enough |
mbuf | #80 |
mbuf | How much salary are you earning? |
mepco_boopathi | don pav |
mbuf | don't ask such questions |
mepco_boopathi | \ |
mbuf | #81 |
mbuf | finishing small work will give you confidence to move forward |
mbuf | it is easy to correct small mistakes at an earlier stage than at the finishing stage of a project |
mbuf | #82 |
mbuf | always give proof when you make a statement; it improves your credibility |
mbuf | #83 |
mbuf | when communicating with your mentor, be honest |
mbuf | #84 |
mbuf | Fedora is a free/open source software distribution that is primarily for desktops |
*cbx_ (~cbx___@unaffiliated/cbx) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | there are lot of sub-projects that you can contribute to |
*cbx has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) |

mbuf | some maybe very good in artwork, so you can do designing as well like banners, posters, logos etc. |
mbuf | #89 |
mbuf | some maybe very good in debugging, and solving problems, or providing a fix; |
mbuf | so this team works on handling bugs |
mbuf | #90 |
mbuf | #91 |
mbuf | some of you may have good language skills, so you can contribute through documentation |
mbuf | #92 |
mbuf | some of you will be aspiring to be system/network administrators; Infrastructure gives you an opportunity to work with them |
mbuf | #93 |
mbuf | this is important to add support to different languages on applications |
mbuf | #94 |
mbuf | translating text from one language to another, so the application can be localized for regional languages |
mbuf | #95 |
mbuf | if you are a good speaker, then you can market Fedora and its sub-projects |
mbuf | #96 |
mbuf | we have a large collection of free/open source software packages, and if you want to maintain them or add more packages, you can participate in this |
mbuf | #97 |
*sagkavin has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
mbuf | if you are good in website designing, then Website project is a good sub-project to start with |

mepco_shenba | mbuf:Hope we are at the end of his session. Shall we take a Tea Break and come back at 11.30 |
mbuf | mepco_shenba, yes, please! |
foss_suhaina | why shouldn't we send mail by attaching file in it ? |
foss_suhaina | eof |
mepco_nanda | what is use of bug |
zer0c00l | foss_suhaina: You can send attachments to your friends, not to mailing lists/groups |
mbuf | foss_suhaina, because the receiver may not be on a high-speed, broadband connection, and they shouldn't have to wait for the attachment to load just to check the e-mail |
mbuf | foss_suhaina, it is courteous to upload it, and provide a link to it; |
zer0c00l | foss_suhaina: Most mailing list's reject's attachments. |
mbuf | mepco_nanda, bug is a defect in software |
zer0c00l | *reject |
mbuf | mepco_nanda, just that it doesn't exist |
foss_sundar | ? |
mbuf | foss_sundar, yes |
foss_sundar | What is the main difference between foss and windows? |
foss_sundar | eof |
mbuf | foss_sundar, Windows is an operating system, and Free/Open Source Software is a software |
mbuf | foss_sundar, there is F/OSS on Windows too |
FranciscoD | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_Open_Source_Software |
*FranciscoD repeats, "make google your friend" |
foss_sundar | ? |
zer0c00l | mbuf: Free node has a policy to reject connections from same ip address, if the number of connections exceeds certian number |
*cbx_ (~cbx___@203.153.39.18) has joined #fedora-india |
*cbx_ has quit (Changing host) |

zer0c00l | mbuf: Some people were not able to connect from Mepco , AFAIK |
*cbx has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) |
foss_sundar | Which is better ?fedora or ubuntu or any other? |
zer0c00l | mbuf: I asked the freenode staff, they said we need to send them an email before the meeting to provide any exceptions |
mbuf | zer0c00l, they can share the system |
zer0c00l | mbuf: yes |
foss_sundar | ? |
foss-mahalakshmi foss__raji foss_deepika foss_jose foss_poniruli foss_prabha foss_ramya foss_suhaina foss_sundar foss_vidhya |
mbuf | foss_sundar, yes |
foss_sundar | Which is better ?fedora or ubuntu or any other? |
mbuf | foss_sundar, which ice-cream do you like? |
foss_sundar | arun |
*zer0c00l chuckles |
mbuf | foss_sundar, it is individuals' choice |
foss_sundar | which one do u prefer? |
zer0c00l | foss_sundar: we use Fedora |
foss_sundar | what about kubuntu? |
zer0c00l | foss_sundar: if you like kubuntu, then use it! |
FranciscoD | foss_sundar: we can't really say, you should go out and try whatever distribution you want and decide for yourself |
foss_sundar | but enough packages are not available ? |
FranciscoD | foss_sundar: again, you need to try it out for yourself and decide. |
FranciscoD | we can tell you what you want to know about fedora (notice the channel :P) |

FranciscoD | zer0c00l: why is all quiet suddenly? |
mbuf | FranciscoD, tea break |
FranciscoD | s/is/is it/ |
FranciscoD | mbuf: ah, okay |
arunprakash | When i was playing some videos on totem or vlc the videos was scared but it works fine with xine |
*mepco_abi has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | arunprakash, use mplayer |
arunprakash | also the players are working fine for many other videos |
mbuf | arunprakash, it will play most video types |
arunprakash | it also works fine in xine |
arunprakash | can i make it work in totem and vlc ? |
mepco_shenba | mbuf:let's start the next session. This can go up to lunch 1 PM |
mbuf | mepco_shenba, sure |
foss_suhaina | ? |
mbuf | arunprakash, I don't know about totem and vlc; but, mplayer serves my needs |
mbuf | foss_suhaina, yes |
foss_suhaina | what is meaning for the slides 26 |
*cbx_ has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
arunprakash | Oh ok |
foss-mahalakshmi foss__raji foss_deepika foss_jose foss_poniruli foss_prabha foss_ramya foss_suhaina foss_sundar foss_vidhya |
mbuf | foss_suhaina, it is a section of an e-mail |
zer0c00l | foss_suhaina: yes |
*mepco_veni has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
*mbuf starts di-git-ally managing love letters |
mbuf | git is a source control management tool, or a revision control management tool |
mbuf | students who work on code, generally, cut, copy, delete code sections, often |
mbuf | they do it so often, that it is difficult to keep track of changes, or to restore the code to the initial state where they began |
mbuf | so, putting code helps in keeping track of the history of the project |
mbuf | it is not just for code, but, can also be for text documents |
mbuf | please open the "di-git-ally managing love letters" presentation |
mbuf | this is a hands-on exercise, that you can do it yourself |
mbuf | you need to run the .pdf as a slideshow, and then you can switch between the terminal and the presentation |
mbuf | I will only put the slide title here, and when everyone is done, then we can proceed to the next title; |
mbuf | git is installed on all your machines |
zer0c00l | Hitting F5 button will put your pdf into presentation mode! |
mbuf | This presentation is done creatively to tell you how to keep history of your code changes using git |
mbuf | Slide #1 |
mbuf | #2 |
mbuf | #3 |
mbuf | git config --global |
mbuf | before you start to use git, you need to do some initial configurations |
mbuf | see the example, and try it out on your system, if you get stuck, ask here |
mbuf | #4 - #8 |
zer0c00l | Please try those commands in terminal. Applications->System tools->terminal |
mbuf | ~ means your home directory |
mbuf | It is okay if you make mistakes, you will learn from them |
mbuf | in ~/.gitconfig, the alias contains double hyphen; --graph, --pretty --abbrev-commit |
mepco_sujin | ? |
mepco_nanda | ? |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, yes |
mbuf | mepco_nanda, yes |
mepco_sujin | may i know why you stick on to fedora rather than linux-ubuntu or suse |
mepco_sathish | tell nandha |
mepco_boopathi | what |
*mepco_suresh (~mepco_sur@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, 1. why do you think I don't use others? |
mepco-sundar mepco_aarthy mepco_anand mepco_ani mepco_babu mepco_bala mepco_boopathi mepco_durga mepco_Evanchalin mepco_jagan mepco_jose mepco_mvidhya mepco_nadhiya mepco_nanda mepco_poornima mepco_priya mepco_priyadhari mepco_rajalaxmi mepco_regupathy mepco_sandeep mepco_saranya mepco_sathish mepco_shenba mepco_steffi mepco_suganya_ec mepco_sujin mepco_suresh mepco_ummul mepco_user mepco_user1 |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, 2. ask only questions relevant to the session |
mepco_sujin | strange answer |
mepco_nanda | what is 8 slide |
mbuf | mepco_sathish, mepco_boopathi do you have any questions? |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, if a customer needs other distros, we give it to them |
mbuf | mepco_nanda, it just shows the full configuration |
mepco_nanda | what say in 8 slide |
mbuf | is everyone done? |
mbuf | let's do it differently; I'll walk you through the slides, you understand it, and you can try it at home or in the lab, later |
mepco_sujin | can u please be specific i couldnt able to get u |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, why do you use SMS language? |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, just now we told you not to speak in SMS |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, I also use other distributions, depending on what the customer needs |
zer0c00l | mepco_nanda: it says when you run the above two commands, the file ~/.gitconfig will be initialized with the the stuff mentioned below . |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, this session is on git, so only ask questions on git |
zer0c00l | mepco_nanda: You can use 'cat ~/.gitconfig' to check the file |
mepco_nadhiya | ? |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, yes |
zer0c00l | mepco_sujin: Do not use 'u', use 'you' instead. 'u' is SMS speak! |
*arunmosespaul has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
mbuf | folks! let me walk you though the presentation, and then you can try the hands-on later |
mepco_sujin | ya I am trying to leave that habbit |
mbuf | mepco_sujin, pease do |
mbuf | *please |
*mbuf git init |
mbuf | this is from slide #9 onwards; any directory can be treated like a repository of source code or content |
mbuf | here, we create a directory, do git init, and create a file |
mbuf | this is upto slide #13 |
mbuf | here, you can see three sections: working tree, index and repository |
mbuf | the working tree is your physical files |
mbuf | the index and repository are maintained by a .git folder inside your directory |
*gsiwakumar has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) |
mbuf | filenames starting with . are hidden files |
*mbuf git init (2) |
mbuf | now, we are editing this text file, and adding some content to it |
mbuf | when you are happy with the text changes, you add it to the index, and commit it |
mbuf | index is like a temporary cache |
mbuf | each commit produces a commit message a number (that uniquely identifies the commit message) |
*mepco_priya has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | you can always use 'git status' to check the state of your repository |
mbuf | end of slide #19 |
*mbuf git gl |
mbuf | because in your ~/.gitconfig you created an alias, git gl will show a short one-line summary of the commit |
mbuf | you can use show to display the commit log in detail; |
mbuf | end of slide #25 |
mbuf | so far so good, everyone? |
mbuf | any questions, so far? |
*mbuf git diff |
mbuf | you need to understand the use of git diff, so you know how to use it |
mbuf | now you creating a new text file raaani-mukerji.txt |
mbuf | check the outputs of all three git diffs |
mbuf | because it is a new file, there is nothing in diff output |
mbuf | end of slide #31 |
*mbuf git add |
mbuf | now you add the new raaani-mukerji.txt file to the index, and check the git diff output |
mbuf | because it is added to the index, the cache shows the difference |
mbuf | end of slide #35 |
mbuf | git diff HEAD also shows the difference, because, it says what will be committed next to the local repository |
mbuf | end of #39 |
mbuf | since it didn't work out, we are going to remove raaani-mukerji.txt letter; |
mbuf | since you have added it to the index, git asks you to force remove it |
mbuf | so using git rm -f to remove the same |
mbuf | end of #48 |
mbuf | in all these use cases, you return to the first state; |
mbuf | a very good example of something that you felt you want to commit, but, realized it was not working, so you have restored your working directory to a clean state |
*mbuf git rm --cached |
mbuf | now trying to write a love letter to nayantaara.txt |
*mepco_babu has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | if you want to only remove the file from the index, but, still keep it in the working tree, you can use --cached |
mbuf | end of slide #54 |
*mbuf git rm --cached (2) |
mbuf | no diff outputs, as nothing has changed |
mbuf | end of #59 |
mbuf | since, it is only a file, we can simply remove it, as it didn't work out either |
mepco_boopathi | bkv c |
mepco_boopathi | hfh |
mbuf | and our repository is back to the first commit |
*mepco_boopathi has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
mbuf | end of slide #64 |
*mepco_veni (~foss@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
*mbuf git reset HEAD file |
mbuf | if people use rm -f mistakenly, it can lead to removal of files, so use reset HEAD to restore things, safely |
mbuf | you can use 'git mv' to rename a file |
mbuf | end of #68 |
mbuf | no diff outputs as there is no new change in the repo |
mbuf | end of #73 |
mbuf | just remove the file |
mbuf | end of #79 |
*mbuf git reset --soft HEAD^ |
mbuf | let us try a new letter |
mbuf | add it to the index |
mbuf | and commit it to the local repository |
mbuf | end of #83 |
mbuf | suppose you want to undo the commit, but, want to make modifications to the file, you can do git reset --soft HEAD^ |
mbuf | what this does, is undo the previous commit, and keeps the changes in the index, so you can modify it |
mbuf | and it also moves the HEAD (top-most commit) to the previous commit |
mbuf | this is very useful if you wrote code, committed it, and then realized, that you need to redo the change |
mbuf | end of #90 |
*mepco_aarthy has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | again, the diff outputs are shown to see the difference |
mbuf | because something is there in cache, git diff --cached shows the difference |
mbuf | because the file is about to be committed, git diff HEAD also shows the difference |
*fridayblue (~ravi@122.164.227.163) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | end of slide #95 |
mbuf | the illustration then shows that you are now modifying the file, committing it again |
mbuf | end of slide #104 |
*mbuf git commit --amend |
mbuf | if you mistakenly made an error in the commit message, you can amend it |
mbuf | end of slide #111 |
mbuf | now let's say you make modifications to pretty-zinta.txt |
mbuf | and you check diff outputs |
mbuf | git diff will give you a difference, because the file is being tracked in the repository |
mbuf | end of slide #116 |
*mbuf git reset --hard HEAD^ |
mbuf | this will totally undo the previous commit, including the code changes, and move the HEAD to the previous |
mbuf | end of slide #124 |
*mbuf git grep |
mbuf | you can also do pattern matching on the content using git grep |
mbuf | end of slide #130 |
*mbuf git log, show |
mbuf | you can also ask git to show your code changes in different formats and styles |
mbuf | given are some examples |
mbuf | end of slide #142 |
*mbuf git stash |
mbuf | if you are currently working on your directory, and suddenly your professor asks you to fix something |
mbuf | so you put your current changes aside, using stash; |
mbuf | work on whatever has been asked of you, and then you can re-apply your changes back |
mbuf | end of slide #150 |
mbuf | if you want to label a particular check point in your development, you can tag it using the git tag command |
mbuf | end of slide #159 |
*mbuf git format patch |
*mepco_sandeep has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | when you new to working on the project, you may not be given commit access to the repository |
mbuf | so, developers will ask you for patches |
mbuf | you use this to create a patch, and send it to the developer mailing list |
mbuf | end of #164 |
*mbuf git reflog |
mbuf | this keeps a track of all your changes |
mbuf | you can reset --hard to any previous commit state |
mbuf | be careful if you use --hard, as it will also remove the file changes |
mbuf | end of #170 |
foss-mahalakshmi | ? |
foss-mahalakshmi | ? |
mbuf | foss-mahalakshmi, yes |
mbuf | quick clarification; git is a decentralized work-flow, so there is no central access |
mbuf | everyone can keep a copy of the repository |
foss-mahalakshmi | what is mean by Ubuntu +? |
mbuf | foss-mahalakshmi, please only ask questions relevant to git; we will have a general Q&A post-lunch |
*mbuf git branch |
mbuf | git tracks content, and not files |
mbuf | unlike cvs or subversion |
mbuf | it is a logical concept |
mbuf | by default you are on the master branch |
*foss_vidhya has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mepco_nadhiya | what is ment by git? |
mbuf | the idea is if you want to work on some new feature, you can create a new branch, work on it, test it, and merge it back to the master branch |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, it is just a name |
mbuf | you can delete a branch using -d |
*mepco_mvidhya has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | end of slide #177 |
*mbuf git branch (2) |
mbuf | you can checkout a new branch, and switch to it using the checkout -b option |
mbuf | end of #185 |
*mbuf git merge |
*shrini (~shrinivas@59.92.10.166) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | this workflow gives you an example as to how to work on the priyaaanka-chopra branch, and then merge the changes to the master branch |
mbuf | end of #197 |
*mbuf git rebase |
mbuf | when you keep committing to your branches, upstream maintainers will only want a single change |
mbuf | so you can use rebase for that |
mbuf | try the example step-by-step, to see how it works |
mbuf | end of #226 |
*mbuf git clone |
mbuf | you can get a remote git repository using the clone command |
mbuf | fetch only fetches the changes, but, pull will fetch and merge the changes |
mbuf | end of #231 |
*mbuf git remote |
mbuf | this allows you to add remote git branches, pull from them, and merge it to your local repository |
*mepco_ummul has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | go through them |
mbuf | end of slide #253 |
*foss_vidhya (~foss_vidh@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | this ends the presentation; I don't expect you to have got everything the first time |
mbuf | but, if you go through it patiently trying out each and every step |
mbuf | you should be able to follow it |
mbuf | if you have any questions related to git, you can ask now |
mbuf | after which we will break for lunch |
mbuf | post-lunch, we will have a general FAQ discussion session, where we can answer all your queries regarding free/open source software |
mbuf | ok, let's break for lunch now |
zer0c00l | mepco_shenba: ? |
fridayblue | mbuf, when we could trun up after the lunch |
mbuf | fridayblue, 1400 IST? |
mbuf | *sharp |
fridayblue | mbuf, alright, on dot |
mepco_shenba | mbuf: Yes, Lunch is Ready. Let's break for Lunch and come back by 1.40 PM |
mbuf | mepco_shenba, okay |
mepco_shenba | mbuf:ok, 2.00 PM |

mepco-sundar mepco_aarthy mepco_anand mepco_ani mepco_bala mepco_durga mepco_Evanchalin mepco_jagan mepco_jose mepco_mohit mepco_nadhiya mepco_nanda mepco_poornima mepco_priyadhari mepco_rajalaxmi mepco_regupathy mepco_saranya mepco_sathish mepco_shenba mepco_steffi mepco_suganya_ec mepco_sujin mepco_suresh mepco_user mepco_user1 mepco_veni |
mbuf | mepco_shenba, everyone back? |
mepco_shenba | Most of them came. Around 40 |
mbuf | mepco_shenba, okay, let us begin |
*mbuf Q&A session |
mbuf | please don't ask your question, straight away |
mbuf | please type '?' and wait for me to ask you to type your question |
mepco_veni | ? |
mbuf | we want to have an open discussion about free/open source software, or any queries you might have regarding them |
mbuf | mepco_veni, yes, ask |
*mepco_keerthik (~mepco_kee@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mepco_veni | i have a doubt that open source software is free from viruses..is it so..if so why.. |
*mepco_jagan has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
*mepco_user1 has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
mbuf | mepco_veni, that are viruses for free/open source software too; as long as you keep your system up-to-date, you should be fine |
*kongu_jagan (~kongu_jag@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | mepco_veni, the idea of having source code is that people can see what is done in the code; so if someone finds something wrong in the code, it can be fixed immediately |
*mepco_babu (~mepco_bab@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | mepco_veni, in proprietary software development companies, they will send you a binary fix, but, you really don't know whether they have really fixed the problem or not |
kongu_jagan | ? |
mbuf | mepco_veni, so that is the power of having the source code |
mbuf | kongu_jagan, yes |
*mepco_boopathi (~mepco_boo@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
*mepco_jagadesh (~mepco_jag@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mepco_jagadesh | hi jagan |
kongu_jagan | wt is mean by collaborative |
mbuf | kongu_jagan, what is 'wt' ? |
mbuf | mepco_veni, in future, don't use ".." in your statements |
*kongu_keerthi (~kongu_kee@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mepco_veni | ? |
*mepco_jagadesh has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | mepco_veni, ask |
kongu_jagan | it is a sms lang |
mbuf | kongu_jagan, just this morning, we told you not to use it |
mepco_veni | what is the main purpose of PHP language |
mepco_nadhiya | ? |
mepco_durga | ? |
mbuf | mepco_veni, PHP is a scripting language, that is used for web development |
*mepco_samy (~mepco_sam@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
*mepco_babu has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | mepco_veni, so, generally we call it the (G)LAMP stack, GNU/Linux as the OS, Apache as the webserver, Mysql for the database, and PHP for the server-side scripting |
*foss_ram (~foss_ram@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mepco_nadhiya | expansion for php |
mbuf | kongu_jagan, what we are doing now is collaboration; we are learning from each other; |
kongu_jagan | why no attachment to email and why it is bad |
fridayblue | mepco_veni, you check www.php.net |
mbuf | kongu_jagan, that was already answered this morning |
mepco_durga | now most of the people of are moving to FOSS...can you tell me some prominent features of FOSS???? |
*paragan has quit (Quit: Leaving) |
zer0c00l | mepco_durga: Several question marks '????' shows that you are obnoxious |
mbuf | mepco_durga, F/OSS has been there for 20 years; just that you folks are new to it and moving towards it |
kongu_jagan | what is join fedora |
foss_sundar | can you tell me why facebook is better than orkut..? |
*mepco_boopathi has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | kongu_jagan, please use '?' and wait for me to ask you to type your question |
zer0c00l | foss_sundar: It is not related to the topic. |
mbuf | foss_sundar, please don't ask your question now |
fridayblue | mepco_nadhiya, PHP stands for, PHP hypertext processor |
kongu_jagan | ? |
mbuf | mepco_durga, the most important aspect of F/OSS is the community; we try to share knowledge; learn new things; |
mbuf | mepco_durga, and of course, availability of source code; |

mepco_suganya_ec | eof |
kongu_jagan | eof |
mepco_babu | eof |
zer0c00l | foss_ramya: You can, but it is waste of time. GNU/Linux has lot security features and if you follow best practises , your viruses won't work. |
mbuf | foss_ramya, that is a negative way of thinking, and free/open source developers don't do that; we build systems (hackers), not break them (crackers) |
mepco_nadhiya | so does wine acts a windows compiler for linux os |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, wine is an emulator which will run .exe; but, we recommend you use free/open source software |
zer0c00l | mepco_nadhiya: Not compiler, it is an emulator, please check www.winehq.org |
mepco_nadhiya | what is emulator |
zer0c00l | mepco_nadhiya: search that in google |
mbuf | executables and object files have an ELF format on GNU/Linux; similarily there is a format for .exe files, so they are not interchangeable; wine helps to run .exe files |
foss_sundar | how do people earn in foss development software and packages related(i.e. VLC) ..?? |

mbuf | #20 |
mbuf | a multi-line description of the project |
mbuf | #21 |
mbuf | #22 |
mbuf | this section is used to extract the tarball (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2 source files) |
mbuf | #23 |
mbuf | #24 |
mbuf | this section tells us how to compile it |
mbuf | using make invokes the Makefile and compiles our .c file |
mbuf | #25 |
*mepco_Evanchalin (~mepco_Eva@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | #26 |
mbuf | #27 |
mbuf | this tells us where to install the packages, under BUILDROOT |
mbuf | #28 |
mbuf | a clean target to clean executables, object files etc. |
mbuf | #29 |
mbuf | #30 |
mbuf | #31 |
mbuf | #32 |
mbuf | #33 |
mbuf | The files section tells which files are to be present in the final .rpm binary |
mbuf | %doc is a macro and refers to /usr/share/doc |
mbuf | #34 |
mbuf | #35 |
mbuf | #36 |
mbuf | A changelog entry that tells what changes you have made in the .spec file |
mbuf | now we try to build the package |
mbuf | #37 |
mbuf | #38 |
mbuf | #39 |
mbuf | the output is also shown |
mbuf | #40 |
mbuf | #41 |
mbuf | #42 |
mbuf | as we learn the commands, the list of options is summarized in the slide |
mbuf | #43 |
mbuf | #44 |
mbuf | #45 |
mbuf | use -bp to extract the sources, it invokes the %prep section in the .spec file |
mbuf | #46 |
mbuf | #47 |
mbuf | #48 |
mbuf | #49 |
mbuf | #50 |
mbuf | to compile the sources, use the -bp option |
mbuf | #51 |
mbuf | #52 |
mbuf | #53 |
mbuf | #54 |
mbuf | #55 |
mbuf | #56 |
mbuf | #57 |
mbuf | install will install the necessary files under different directories under BUILDROOT; good to see if the locations are correct when used |
mbuf | #58 to #70 |
mbuf | you can also see during the steps that when you invoke install, it also does prepare, and compiler before doing install |
mbuf | *compile |
mbuf | #71 |
mbuf | #72 |
mbuf | use the -bb to get the final binary .rpm package |
mbuf | #73 to #89 |
mbuf | #90 |
mbuf | if you also want to get the .src.rpm that contains the .spec file and the source code, use the -s option |
mbuf | #91 |
mbuf | #92 |
mbuf | #93 |
mbuf | if you want to build everything, then you use the -ba option (-bb and -bs) |
mbuf | #94 |
mbuf | the built rpm is located in the RPMS directory, while the .src.rpm is located in the SRPMS directory |
mbuf | #95 |
mbuf | #96 |
mbuf | #97 |
mbuf | rpmlint is a tool to check the correctness of the .spec file and .rpms; always run it on the .spec file and the built .rpms and .src.rpms |
mbuf | #98 |
mbuf | #99 - #103 |
mbuf | if you wish to see the contents of the binary package, you can run rpmls on it |
mbuf | #104 |
*mepco_selvan has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | #105 |
mbuf | #106 |
mbuf | #107 |
mbuf | if you wish to extract the .rpm, use the rpm2cpio command and pipe it to cpio -idv |
mbuf | #108 |
mbuf | to install an .rpm use the yum install command |
mbuf | #109 - #113 |
mbuf | -qa option to rpm queries all installed packages |
mbuf | #114 |
mbuf | if you wish to remove a package, just give the package name |
mbuf | next, we are going to see how to create a patch -- a change in the source code we make |
mbuf | #115 |
mbuf | extract the sources |
mbuf | #116 |
mbuf | #117 |
mbuf | go to the sources |
mbuf | #118 |
mbuf | make a copy of the file you want to modify with a suffix (like .fix) |
mbuf | #119 |
mbuf | change the original file |
mbuf | #120 |
mbuf | go to the BUILD directory and use gendiff |
mepco_babu | ? |
mbuf | #121 - #125 |
mbuf | mepco_babu, yes |
mepco_babu | can we change the source code in linux? |
mepco_nadhiya | ? |
mbuf | mepco_babu, yes |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, yes |
mepco_nadhiya | how can we extract source code by.c for .src.rpm |
mepco_babu | can we change the source code in linux os? |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, rpm2cpio file.src.rpm | cpio -idv |
*prasanth_mepco has quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
mbuf | mepco_babu, yes |
mepco_nadhiya | ? |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, yes |
mepco_nadhiya | what is the use of -bi spcifically in 57 slide |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, good question |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, when you install a package, it will install files in different directories under root (/), say /usr/lib, /usr/bin/ usr/share/doc etc |
*arunprakash has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, so, when you do rpm -bi, it will install the relevant binary files in /home/user/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/packagename-version/{usr, lib, bin} etc |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, so you can see if the files you want packages are present in the right location or not |
mbuf | mepco_nadhiya, in the .spec file you will be using macros like %doc |
kongu_keerthi | ? |
mbuf | kongu_keerthi, yes |
kongu_keerthi | How the quality is checked in packages?. slide No.102 |
mbuf | kongu_keerthi, rpmlint has lot of error checks; like spelling errors; if the project website URL is valid |
kongu_keerthi | eof |
mbuf | kongu_keerthi, any static libraries are built etc. lot of them |
mbuf | kongu_keerthi, refer common rpmlint issues later, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_Rpmlint_issues |
mbuf | ok, we are back on track now :) |
mbuf | we were on slide #125 where we made our first patch |
*mepco_mohit (~mepco_moh@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | now to test our patch, and include it in our Fedora package, we need to add it to the .spec file |
mbuf | #126 |
mbuf | since, we are modifying the spec file we update the release # |
mbuf | #127 |
mbuf | add the patch file |
mbuf | it must be stored in the SOURCES folder |
mbuf | #128 |

mbuf | #130 |
mbuf | add a new changelog entry |
mbuf | #131 |
mbuf | now check if the patch applies cleanly by just extracting the sources in the %prep stage |
mbuf | #132 |
mbuf | #133 - #135 |
mbuf | #136 |
mbuf | is a short summary of macros |
mbuf | #37 |
mbuf | #137 |
mbuf | you can define your own macros |
mbuf | #138 - #140 |
mbuf | #141 |
mbuf | one should also use mock to build a package locally and see if it works; mock is a tool |
mbuf | #142 |
mbuf | #143 |
*mepco_suresh (~mepco_sur@210.212.255.131) has joined #fedora-india |
mbuf | #144 |
mbuf | you can also build packages using the koji tool on different hardware |
mbuf | for example Fedora on x86_64, ppc (powerpc), ARM (arm) etc. |
arunmosespaul | ? |
mbuf | #145 - #150 |
mbuf | more URL links for reference |
