The problem is: We developing JAVA code and some of us works in linux and me in windows. As I cloned our repo then it turned out that in the same directory we have a directory in upper case and another one with lower case. Linux it is not a problem of course but in windows yes. It comes from our 3pp code so no renaming allowed. Due to this the repo messed up and files seems to be modified constantly. Do anyone know a solution for such problem?
Thanks
You will have to rename at least one of them consistently. Git allows a decent renaming, so no problems from this side.
I would talk to the 3pp developer about in which hell he wants to burn for naming two directories like this, only distinguishable by case.
I once tried enabling the case-sensitivity in Windows, try this guide:

The last few days, I created a site, using wix, to use as a portfolio. I left all my projects there. My sister, helping me try It, downloaded one of them, but she could not open it
The first problem was solved pretty fast. My computer uses linux, and her's uses Windows, so I just had to use a windows computer to run pyinstaller on my project. It worked
Now, I managed to create the windows executable. I tested on my windows computer, and it worked. However, my computer HAS python, while her's dont. I think the error might be my venv (virtual environment). Maybe the python interpreter she is supposed to use to run the program is in the wrong directory?
Image of what you get, after downloading my project "FastGrid":

(sorry for using external images, It's the only way I can make a good description the situation)
The only difference between her directory and mine is that her python files have a notepad icon. However, the extension is ".py", so I don't see how that is a problem. Unless somehow her pc is opening that with notepad, without using the python interpreter, and not executing the code properly.
Also, when I tried on my computer, my antivirus thought the file was a virus, and said It would take 80 minutos to verify It. I trusted the file and tried to open It, only to get a "You might not have permission to open the file" error. I refreshed the directory and It opened sucessfullt. The same happened to my sister (without the opening part, of course). She had this error, but later, when I tried again, It simply didn't run. No errors.
Again, I think the directory "venv" may be in the wrong spot, and that's why she can't open the executable, since the project may not be able to read the files. But, if that's the case, I don't know how I should modify that.
Also, here is my site, if you think that can be helpful. You can find my projects in the "blog" part

Thanks in advance. If I wasn't clear, please, feel free to ask your doubts on comments. I'll do my best to make the post better
Edit: The image is the project for windows, but opened in ubuntu, that's why there is a ".exe" there.
does all of your computer have python, it could probably beacuse you are using a virtual enviorment, and need to activate it before entering the the exe. the command : .\venv\Scripts\activate to activate te asets in your python project, what was the difrent from your sister computer and all of the computer, i could help you
Everyone, the problem is solved. My sister's pc is probably the one at fault, here, since the program worked in every computer I tried besides her's.
Thanks
Currently in our repository, there is a conf/ folder that I have svn ignored so as to avoid committing local configuration data. However, now I need to add a new configuration option to this file. From my research, the only answer that seems applicable is to change the project structure and have 'config.conf.default' files that everyone can add new options to, and they must copy that file to 'config.conf' and edit it with their local options and svn ignore it. As this is not my project I am working on I would prefer to find a more 'local' solution if their is one.
Changesets don't seem to be helpful in this situation, and constantly manually backing up, reverting, remaking changes I want sync'd, committing and then restoring each config file doesn't sound fun at all.
I read some posts that TortoiseSVN 1.8+ can do this sort of thing, I'm hoping there's a Linux equivalent.
Looking forward to any advice -- thank you
I do not know for certain, but I will be very surprised to hear that TortoiseSVN can do this. What you are asking for runs counter to everything that SVN (and, I might add, any other version control I'm aware of) works.
A file can be either tracked, in which case any change to it is an interesting change, or untracked, in which case none are. Allowing partially tracked files means the version control cannot know whether the change you just made should or should not be tracked. Allowing this is just asking for trouble.
While, technically, TortoiseSVN might have such a feature as an overlay above SVN, in my experience, that's simply not how Tortoise is built. Their design is very nice in that they are simply an SVN client, honoring the same configurations and semantics as the command line tool (for both Windows and Linux). In fact, the fact that Tortoise, the command line tool and the VisualStudio clients all share the same mode of operation is one of the strong points of the tool set, making the experience of working on Windows just a tiny bit more bearable. I really hope Tortoise have not decided to deviate from that.
I like subversion except for folders renaming, deleting : it's such a nightmare for me as I do this a lot that I want to drop off subversion for something else as close as Subversion but which can stand folders renaming, deleting moving under Explorer without obligating me to launch a special command.
Is there an alternative ?
It's several times I create a new repo after subversion corruption, now it says the working copy lock seems to be broken. I'm exhausted :)
Update: for Windows ;)
For the Mac there are two great options for what I think you are looking for. First there is Tower for Mac and the there is Versions for Mac which really is great if you want to step away from Github and Svn. So either try find the Windows Alternative to these two or switch over the the Mac way of life. Best wishes. Good luck
I have nearly identical Linux (Fedora) machines at home and at work and I keep my files on both machines synchronized using the excellent Unison program. I have been trying to keep an eclipse workspace synchronized across the two machines but this has failed. I tried both:
Synchronize just the /workspace directory, badness due to plugin upgrades
Synchronize both /workspace and my .eclipse/ director.
What happens is that I work in one machine, create new projects on eclipse, etc. Then unison. Then when I go to the other machine the projects will sometimes not appear, sometimes they will appear but eclipse cannot find the files, and sometimes (rarely) it works.
I don't understand why eclipse gets so confused since I have identical workspaces, eclipse versions, and even .eclipse directories.
Have considered going through a source control repository? If privacy is a concern, there are private SVN spaces available (e.g. assembla).
I understand this technique will (at least) make it possible to synchronize the projects but probably not all the settings related to a workspace. It might be an option, no?
Take a look at Pulse. It's an Eclipse distribution that can handle synchronization of workspace preferences across users and machines. It might be what you need.
I have been using dropbox to synchronize my workspace. I have been able to work on 3 different computers so far without any issues.
I used to store my workspace(s) and sometimes the eclipse installation itself on a USB stick drive and use that for project portability from windows machine to windows machine. You can then just run Eclipse from the stick and mount the workspace on the same stick.
I have also heard that drop box (http://getdropbox.com - they have a 2gb free plan) is useful for this, though I have not tried it.
It's odd that it does not work with your sync software.
I've ad issues with unison and eclipse and have them mostly worked out though it still needs to refresh the entire workspace when I switch systems.
There are two issues I've discovered that need to be configured before it is at all happy:
1) sync your workspace, your eclipse install and ~/.eclipse
2) Specify "ignorenot" rules in your unison "prf" files to not ignore any files in these directories. This is necessary because, by default, unison excludes files it thinks are built unsing rules similar to CVS which causes issues.
for example:
path = eclipse
path = workspace
path = .eclipse
ignorenot Regex eclipse/.*
ignorenot Regex workspace/.*
ignorenot Regex .eclipse/.*
Have you considered setting up a network drive and installing Eclipse on that drive (along with your workspace)? That way, when you open Eclipse on either machine, it will be pointing at the network path for your workspace. I've successfully used this solution in the past.
I used the Mercurial DVSC on a USB stick as the transfer between home and work. I had three Mercurial repositories: one on the USB stick, one at home and one at the office sharing the same space as my Subversion checkout. If you're up-to-speed with DVSC concepts, I'd push/pull changes from office->USB->home.
It worked fine, but the first check-in was a pain as USB flash writes have crappy speeds. Pushing/pulling deltas was fairly quick afterwords.
I believe the Mozilla guys use a similar hybrid approach of SVN for the 'official' repository, but the developers use Mercurial for their development environment.
We're using CruiseControl.Net to do our continuous integration of our web applications.
we build the project, zip it up, copy it to the integration server. A littel bit later,
the wbe.config is cached away, the folder delted, the zip file unzipped recreating the folders, etc, then the web.config is copied back.
the issue is that somwhere in the process, one of the folders (not always the same one)
will have it's permissions totally hosed.
even the owner can't open teh folder to look at the contents.
We reboot, and everything is golden, we can delete the folder and redeploy and everythign works.
My question is, other than if anyone has expereinced anything like this, is
what tools do you suggest to try to figure out what exactly has the permissions messed up
that is nolonger doign so after rebooting.
I figure if I can get a clue about what, I can figure out why.
Thanks,
E-
You could try finding a way to run cruisecontrol.net as a limited user, that way it can't set permissions as something higher.
I'm afraid I don't remember the details But it was an obscure security setting on the Network our IT guys tweaked and it works now. I'm sorry I can't remember any more info, but I figured even this will be of some help incase someone else runs into the issue.
