Content Tagged with Perl + Apache

Many people know from their own experience that it's not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very e

This weekend our networking guys decided to change ips for all of our servers. They also changed our subversion server’s ip. This caused some issues in the subversion world with developers who had checkouts pointing to ips instead of hostname, using command similar to: svn co svn+ssh://192.168.1.10/svn/myrepos/ /home/mycheckout/ Now when they do “svn update” inside [...]

I have been using Maatkit in a different way since I joined Percona as a consultant. When I’m working on a system now, it’s a new, unfamiliar system — not one where I have already installed my favorite programs. And that means I want to grab my favorite productivity tools fast.

I intentionally wrote the Maatkit tools so they don’t need to be “installed.” You just run them, that’s all. But I never made them easy to download.

I fixed that. Now, at the command line, you can just run this:

wget http://www.maatkit.org/get/mk-table-sync

Now it’s ready to run. Behind the scenes are some Apache mod_rewrite rules, a Perl script or two, and Subversion. When you do this, you’re getting the latest code from Subversion’s trunk.[1][2] (I like to run on the bleeding edge. Releases are for people who want to install stuff.)

Because there’s some Perl magic behind it, I made it even easier — it does pattern-matching on partial names and Does The Right Thing:

baron@kanga:~$ wget http://www.maatkit.org/get/sync

           => `sync'

The redirection is there because otherwise wget will save the file under the name ’sync’ instead of ‘mk-table-sync’.

And if you’ve forgotten which tools exist, you can just click on over to http://www.maatkit.org/get/ and see.

A quick poll: instead of getting the latest trunk, should this give you the code from the last release? I can do that, if you want.

[1] OK, it’s only refreshed every hour. So you’re getting code that’s up to an hour old.

[2] update: now /get/foo gets the latest release, and /trunk/foo gets the latest trunk code.
