quick_cert 2.0
Eric Hodel | Thu, 16 Apr 2009 08:41:00 GMT
quick_cert version 2.0 has been released!
seattlerb.rubyforge.org/quick_cert
rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb
quick_cert allows you to quickly and easily create SSL certificates. It uses a simple configuration file to generate self-signed client and server certificates.
quick_cert (formerly QuickCert) was one of the first things I released for Ruby, some four years ago. I’ve heard over the years that (shockingly!) people have continued to use it. Here it is for the first time as a gem!
Changes:
- 2 minor enhancements:
- Released as a gem
- Reorganized for Hoe
- 3 discoveries:
- CVS is odd after not using it for so long
- My ruby style hasn’t changed much in the past five years
- I still don’t know how OpenSSL works
200thish Seattle.rb Meeting!
Eric Hodel | Wed, 10 Dec 2008 03:07:50 GMT
Next week is the 200thish Seattle Ruby Brigade meeting. We’re not sure exactly how many meetings we’ve had, but we’re celebrating right around our bicentennial!
Our 200thish meeting will be at the usual place and time. The meeting will feature cake and party hats! It’s also Aaron Patterson’s 28th birthday, so there will even be an extra cake!
Firebrigade Home Page Fixed
Eric Hodel | Tue, 18 Sep 2007 02:40:22 GMT
I denormalized a bit and beat the tests back into shape and the Firebrigade home page is back to life! Next I’m going to sand down a few rough edges on RubyGems to get a beta shipped suitable for feedback.
Firebrigade is now fully vladified using perforce.
Here’s the two setup steps you need for perforce:
- Require ‘vlad/perforce’ at the top of config/deploy.rb.
- Your .p4config goes in the scm/ directory of the server’s checkout.
- Run p4 client in the scm/ directory and set your View to //path/to/project/... //clientname/...
Hopefully we can fully automate this so the vlad:setup_app task can handle this automatically.
I also had to do some custom setup for firebrigade because it uses RubyInline and needs the INLINEDIR set. I just added extra stuff to the setup_app task:
namespace :vlad do
remote_task :setup_app do
cmds = [
"mkdir #{inline_dir}",
"sudo chown www:www #{inline_dir}",
]
run cmds.join(' && ')
end
end
Update: Automatic p4 setup is done!
