Strip package scripts from .deb packages (postinst, postrm, preinst, prerm)

The best way to use this tool is to hook apt's use of dpkg to run it before doing any package installs.

In your apt.conf, put this:

DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"xargs -rL1 bash /path/to/stripdeb.sh 2>&1 | logger -t stripdeb"}

Then, a demo:

% sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1

Running redis using upstart on Ubuntu

Running redis using upstart on Ubuntu

I've been trying to understand how to setup systems from the ground up on Ubuntu. I just installed redis onto the box and here's how I did it and some things to look out for.

To install:

require 'chef'
require 'chef/node'
class Opscode
class Backup
attr_accessor :backup_dir
def initialize(backup_dir, config_file)
@backup_dir = backup_dir
Chef::Config.from_file(config_file)
class WeakHash
def initialize(cache = Hash.new)
@cache = cache
@key_map = {}
@rev_cache = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k] = {}}
@reclaim_value = lambda do |value_id|
if value = @rev_cache.delete(value_id)
value.each_key{|key| @cache.delete key}
end
end
