(a gist based on the old toolmantim article on setting up remote repos)

To collaborate in a distributed development process you’ll need to push code to remotely accessible repositories.

This is somewhat of a follow-up to the previous article setting up a new rails app with git.

For the impatient

Set up the new bare repo on the server:

slow

This bash script offers quick shortcuts to simulate slower network connections. It is useful when you need to simulate a wireless network on a Linux network server, especially when you are using a virtual machine guest on your local machine or in the cloud.

slow 3G                   # Slow network on default eth0 down to 3G wireless speeds
slow reset                # Reset connection for default eth0 to normal
slow vsat --latency=500ms # Simulate satellite internet  with a high latency
slow dsl -b 1mbps         # Simulate DSL with a slower speed than the default

slow modem-56k -d eth0 # Simulate a 56k modem on the eth1 device. eth0 is unchanged.

GnuPG 2.1.20 Build Instructions

Below you is my build instructions for GnuPG 2.1.20 released on 03-Apr-2017. These instructions are built for a headless Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server.

Or if you wish, you may use the install script to install GnuPG 2.1.20 by entring the following:

curl -sL "https://gist.github.com/mattrude/3883a3801613b048d45b/raw/install-gnupg2.sh" |sh

Install the needed depends

apt-get -y install libgnutls-dev bzip2 make gettext texinfo gnutls-bin \

Processing JSON using jq

jq is useful to slice, filter, map and transform structured json data.

Installing jq

On Mac OS

brew install jq

git archive --format=tar.gz -o /tmp/my-repo.tar.gz --prefix=my-repo/ master

How to make a debian from a ROS package

The instructions are based on this answers.ros.org thread.

Get dependencies

You may need the latest pip, follow the official instructions.

Install bloom:

	# this does not run as a complete script :(
	pkg_add -r bash curl sudo
	pkg_add -r git vim # can you live without it?
	pkg_add -r libxml2 libxslt # for nokogiri later
	pw usermod pzol -G wheel

	bash # start bash and run the rest inside it
	curl -# -L http://bit.ly/rvm-install-system-wide > rvm-install-system-wide
	bash -l < rvm-install-system-wide

	SSH agent forwarding is great. It allows you to ssh from one server to
	another all the while using the ssh-agent running on your local
	workstation. The benefit is you don't need to generate ssh key pairs
	on the servers you are connecting to in order to hop around.

	When you ssh to a remote machine the remote machine talks to your
	local ssh-agent through the socket referenced by the SSH_AUTH_SOCK
	environment variable.

	So you the remote server you can do something like:

	/*
	Version: 3.4.5 Timestamp: Mon Nov 4 08:22:42 PST 2013
	*/
	.select2-container {
	margin: 0 0 1rem 0;
	position: relative;
	vertical-align: middle;
	font-family: inherit;
	-webkit-appearance: none !important;
	font-size: 0.875rem;

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
	#
	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.
	#
	# Once you're done here, go to
	# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
