Monday, August 17, 2015. How often do you rebuild your OS level dependencies? In practice, around twice a month, due to accumulation of security updates. Sometimes bit-rot plays a role as well, but mostly, it’s the endless stream of updates. We want images to quickly launch into a secure state. Reboot our instances programatically. IIRC though, that question was in the context of Docker. Containers, while our process is to precompile our app and its dependencies into a monolithic AMI. I finally deleted a...

On September 13, 2007. Life was hard for opinionated intellectuals before the internet. Getting published at all was an ordeal, even for the world’s greatest programmer. He got to consider things harmful once in a while, but he didn’t get to post a dispatch every week on any punch-card version of Wordpress. To Apple and open source. The metaphor was bent into service in a post titled “When the bough breaks,” though that metaphor was not intended to refer to the other. We’re summarizing by about one...

Cloud-maker 0.8.4: minor bugfixes. I discovered the module which I had intended to use as a version check via. Python -m cloud maker. Didn’t actually work. There was no way to execute it, to begin with. It also turned out that. Wasn’t something that could be used with tuple unpacking in Python 2. Option used to print the usage information, and then a traceback for a. Exception. I narrowed this down to an overzealous. Block, so now it recognizes. And skips the traceback for those. And as a wheel on PyPI.

fedora-pack Configuration File Update
https://sapphirecat.github.io/2015/013-fedora-pack-config
Fedora-pack Configuration File Update. I mentioned last post. That I was thinking of going with a config file of some sort. Plans have formed to use INI format, and the parser is written. (Between the desires to be pure-perl all the way down and to keep embed size down, I didn’t find any pre-written parsers that suited me on CPAN.). So, it’s probably going to end up something like this:. As a bonus, the sections organize the options so that languages can define their own options.

More fedora-pack Options

Packages on Ubuntu Utopic have similar dependencies but the latter is on. Packages and the former is not. Since I use Python but. Virtualenv in my own server build, it ‘would be nice’ to skip the automatic installation of it by fedora-pack. Of course, in order to support such a thing, fedora-pack clearly needs more options for finer control. Yet, it seems like the global option parser isn’t the perfect place for language-related options, so the. Proudly powered by Pelican.
