Automatic package creation, which one to choose?

30 October 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Red Hat

I’m currently developing a complete packaging stack based on Docker to easily make different kind of packages for several Linux distributions. This for MySecureShell project. This stack will be used to build packages in destination of upstream Linux distribution packages. But I’d like to provide a simpler and faster way to create custom repositories mainly for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and Fedora. In addition if packages could be automatically created when a new tag is pushed to the GitHub account, it would be perfect.

MySecureShell finally available in official Debian repository

28 October 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux

You may know that I’m one of the 2 founders of MySecureShell. Around 6 years ago, we made a quick try to send MySecureShell to Debian and didn’t make enough efforts to make it possible. This time I worked hard to make this happen. Thanks a lot to Gonéri Le bouder, a colleague and Debian dev to make it possible and helped me to do it fast, before Jessie freeze.

Finally: switching back to iOS (from Android)

26 October 2014 in Android, Hi-Tech, iPhone

In previous posts, I talked about why I switched from iOS to Android. After 1 year and a half, after 3 different Android phones (Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S5), I’m finally going to switch back to iOS. For several reasons in facts but the major ones are those: Application quality lower than on iOS Lower global stability on Samsung Touchwizz and Cyanogen I was pretty happy with Google Stock ROM, however it’s not available on all devices and the Nexus do not have the better hardware (not talking about Nexus 6).

Git: speed up your merging process with mergetool

24 October 2014 in Hi-Tech, Linux

Merging from one branch to another branch is something common with Git. I had to do it several times and recently I had to make a big one. I’ve just never took the time to look at what exist to make faster merge and how to use it. After some researches, I found git mergetool which will use VIM (by default on my laptop) to have a better view on what I have to do, to merge my files.

Yosemite and Refind: recover your Linux boot

22 October 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Mac, Red Hat

You may upgrade your Mac OS X version to Yosemite (10.10) and saw you dual boot with Linux not working anymore :-(. That’s because Apple made changes and Refind is not yet ready for it. So here is the solution to get your dual boot half back. It won’t fully work as expected, but you’ll be able to boot to Linux with Refind and Mac OS X with the alt key.

VIM: help coding in Python with plugins

20 October 2014 in Developement, Hi-Tech

In the last blog posts, I talked about Galera Innoptimizer tool I’ve made in Python. As a VIM lover, I’ve wrote it with that editor and installed additional them with Vundle. Here are the one I’m using (to my .vimrc file): " Python completionPlugin 'klen/python-mode'" TabularPlugin 'godlygeek/tabular'" Git GutterPlugin 'airblade/vim-gitgutter' Python completion helps to autocomplete some Python functions automatically. Tabular helps on correctly aligning multiple lines and gitguuter helps you with git to see a live gitdiff !

UP24: my first connected strap

18 October 2014 in Hi-Tech, Private life

I recently had a gift, this is a connected strap, the Jawbone UP24 model. It doesn’t do a lot of things, but what it does works well. I wanted one with a good autonomy. And a recent firmware update grew from 7 days to 14 the number of days the battery autonomy. I also wanted a strap able to give me information on night I’ve spent, doesn’t let me sleep all the afternoon during a siesta.
