$ git commit
...

Now in order to share code with Mark Roden. I decided to push to my github account:

$ git remote add perso git@github.com:malaterre/ITK.git
$ git push perso integration-gdcm-2-0-16

After a couple of exchange the branch was properly compiling on Linux/Win32/MacOSX.
I was ready to push GDCM 2.x to ITK. As suggested by Brad Lowekamp I pushed to stage first:

$ git remote add stage git://itk.org/stage/ITK.git
$ git config remote.stage.pushurl git@itk.org:stage/ITK.git
$ git fetch stage --prune
$ git checkout integration-gdcm-2-0-16
$ git push stage HEAD

one can then print it:

$ ssh git@itk.org stage ITK print

I pushed it also to gerrit for review.

$ git log gerrit/master..
$ git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master/integration-gdcm-2-0-16

This lead to some discussion with Brad King.

$ git add CMake/ExportConfiguration/CMakeLists.txt CMakeLists.txt
$ git commit

error: failed to push some refs to 'malaterre@review.source.kitware.com:ITK'

This was not quite right, I had to squash the last two commits:

$ git commit --amend
$ git push gerrit 1ddc92d:refs/changes/24
Counting objects: 14, done.
Delta compression using up to 16 threads.

! [remote rejected] 1ddc92d -> refs/changes/24 (squash commits first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'malaterre@review.source.kitware.com:ITK'

Still not ! I need to actually edit the word 'pick' and change it to 'squash':

$ git rebase -i HEAD~2
$ git push gerrit 448bcde:refs/changes/24
Counting objects: 62, done.
Delta compression using up to 16 threads.

* [new branch] 448bcde -> refs/changes/24

Now that the change are on gerrit, push them to stage too:

$ git push stage HEAD
To git@itk.org:stage/ITK.git
! [rejected] HEAD -> integration-gdcm-2-0-16 (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@itk.org:stage/ITK.git'
To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'Note about
fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.

Hum, something happen during the squash that made the push non-trivial on stage.

Meanwhile, let's push to my github account:

$ git push perso integration-gdcm-2-0-16

Thanks to Brad L., I tried it again:

$ git checkout integration-gdcm-2-0-16
$ git log master..
$ git push -f stage integration-gdcm-2-0-16
$ ssh git@itk.org stage ITK print
$ ssh git@itk.org stage ITK merge integration-gdcm-2-0-16

Finally all set ! Thanks to Brad K. and Brad L. !

debian-installer: Lenny fails to install on system with USB and SATA disks

I finally found a bug associated to my initial post:

[Boot order / Grub / USB installer]
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/06/msg00308.html

I believe this is related to:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580340

Hopefully this will be solved for squeeze !

CD-ROM media are not detected automatically

I finally took the time to investigate a little more the issue with CD-ROM on my debian machine,

and found out the following debian bug report:

Will see..

Setting up of postfix on debian

For some reason I stopped being able to deliver emails from my postfix installation:

Aug 19 14:23:18 gotlib postfix/smtp[7669]: certificate verification failed for smtp.gmail.com[209.85.229.109]:587: untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority

This one seems to be easily solved by:

sudo cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt /etc/postfix/cacert.pem

The following was a bit more tricky:

Aug 19 14:23:19 gotlib postfix/smtp[7669]: A6E401E4A1: to=, relay=smtp.gmail.com[209.85.229.109]:587, delay=0.74, delays=0.01/0/0.73/0, dsn=4.7.1, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed; server smtp.gmail.com[209.85.229.109] said: 535-5.7.1 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at ?535 5.7.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 k6sn951170rej.1)

I went to the above link, then followed to:

http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

It seems everything is back to normal !


One more thing, to flush all email stored in /var/spool/postfix/deferred, simply type:

postfix flush

I love postfix !

partman-reiserfs, is now priority extra !

reiserfs (optional; not available on all architectures)

Support for the Reiser file system is no longer available by default. When the installer is running at medium or low debconf priority it can be enabled by selecting the partman-reiserfs component. Only version 3 of the file system is supported.

Debian on MacMiniG4

I finally manage to get the debian-installer to work !

Steps:

Then using k3b, just open the iso image, burn onto a SONY DVD+R 4.7GB/120min AccuCORE. Apparently this is a bad idea to check "Verify written data", this leads to the following error:

Anyway using this DVD, just go back to your MacMiniG4, reboot, press the Option key during reboot, wait ... and finally it should display a cute pinguin logo, next to the mac hard drive.

Conclusion:
- CDROM does NOT work (I tried sarge 31r8, lenny 504, lenny 505 on different cd-r and cd-rw)
- I could never get USB to boot

Solution: just get the dvd iso, toat it, it works !

Warning: during installation I choose "use LVM on whole disk", when you press next you should get:

No NewWorld boot partition was found. The yaboot boot loader requires an Apple_Bootstrap 
partition of at least 819200 bytes in size, using the HFS Macintosh file system.

Simply ignore this message (press 'No').

I could also find this problem on another post:

It seems this guy, also had issue booting from a cdrom / usb !
