Rentacoder lessons - I am a picky coder

March 14th, 2007

after successfully completing my 3rd project on RAC, i learned some lessons. successful project determined by how picky i am. so far i only bid if i really really confident that i am 200% capable of completing the project. Looking at the bid request posts is not always sufficient to judge whether i’m able to complete it or not. I found that the discussion with buyer is the most important as sometimes there are several things still unclear in the bid request. also, during these discussions i will get to know buyer more. i like buyers that list down many points of requirements directly related to project technical aspects, not the things like

at last i got change to have a journey back with debian. after very long delay (until now i think) for new release of stable debian, i became unpatient, and i need new debian on my presario v5000 notebook. so on last dec 30 2006, i download daily etch netinst cd, and began the installation process. took about 4 hours to install base operating system, my downlink only 256kbs, so throughput around 160kbps, really slow for net install. after installation, i looked at the pci list:

creating openldap2.3 deb package on debian 3.1r1 - pthread_create problem

January 28th, 2007

i need to have syncrepl on my ldap implementation to substitute slurpd, but the server running debian 3.1r1 with openldap 2.2 which is not have syncrepl capability. so i get debian source of openldap 2.3, and began debian package creation. but at very last stage of package creation, it stoped. it complaints that pthreat_create can not be resolved. how the thell can it be? as far as i know glibc on debian 3.1r1 supports pthread. after some searching, i found this on openldap devel mailing list. i applied the the fixes and restarted the process, and it worked! funny thing i found later that the converstion on that list was on 2003, for openldap prior to 2.2 for sure. how come openldap developer still forget to include this fix on 2.3? anyway, i got openldap 2.3 deb package now, waiting for testing and implementation…. real hard work to come….
