What's this about?

I am a lifetime Windows user and (like many people) I am used to organising important files on Windows machines by starting the file name with _ (underscore).

I found a hack that allows users to enable update a locale language def file in Debian (Ubuntu Mint) here. This didn't work fully on Fedora so, after some help from the folks on Fedora Forum, I was able to figure out how to implement a system-update resilient (most of the time) way to enable "sort underscore in file system first" sorting (aka collating). Here's the thread on Fedora Forum.

Some Notes

First and most important: locale-gen does not exist on fedora. The file mentioned by @markos was a "bash completion" file - not sure

Summary of 'Clean code' by Robert C. Martin

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

  1. Follow standard conventions.
  2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
  3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
  4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Design rules

Postfix+PHP+Drupal on OSX 10.11.11 (El Capitan) for Software Developers (a.k.a software development and testing).

How to get mail sending to work on OSX for development purposes ONLY.

OSX comes with Postfix pre-installed. All that needs to be done is to configure it AND PHP. There are a couple of configuration files involved. Each file that needs to be adjusted is attached to this gist along with the relevant configuration options and settings.

You will start by editing the Postfix config file located at: /private/etc/postfix/main.cf. You will then edit your PHP config file (php.ini) which, for me I installed via macports and was thus located at: /opt/local/etc/php56/php.ini.

These are the two pages that I used to get things working:

How to automatically deploy from GitHub

Deploy your site with git

This gist assumes:

  • you have an online remote repository (github / bitbucket etc.)
  • you have a local git repo
  • and a cloud server (Rackspace cloud / Amazon EC2 etc)
    • your (PHP) scripts are served from /var/www/html/
    • your webpages are executed by Apache
  • the Apache user is named www-data (may be apache on other systems)
