I never tried to do an core update on the command line. Today I tried it.

Get the latest drupal version

Check your download

Checkout svn drupal-6-core

Step into drupal version to update

Apply the patch

Is this all?

After having worked with subversion for a while I finally got time to restructure my repository layouts. What I want is a simple way to update all the sites I maintain and I want those sites under version control.

Steps I took

1. Make a drupal core repository
2. Create your project repository
3. Reference to the drupal core

Directory layout

In order to get a nice update-able project directory tree we choose a layout listed below.

This contains only drupal core code will live.

Searching on terms 'blog editor linux' I found these somewhat outdated links Five Desktop Blog Editors for GNU/Linux Users and Five More Desktop Blog Editors for GNU/Linux Users
Having a list is better then having zillions google links.
* GNOME Blog Entry Poster
* Drivel Journal Editor
* BloGTK Blog Editor
* ScribeFire Firefox Extension

Modules:
* dhtml_menu
* extlink
* pagination
Themes:
* waffles

This is my list of Firefox extensions.
* CodeBurner for quick lookups for HTML and CSS
* Cooliris nice image wall
* CoolPreviews previews a link hoover
* DownThemAll a much better download manager
* DrupalForFirebug explains enough
* Ghostery for the paranoids among us
* Grab Them All for having full browser screenshots. Is a little arcane to use
* Pixel Perfect for overlaying a design on the development version
* Quick Translation
* SenSEO
* Session Manager for quickly switch browser tabs

I'm still learning to use more command line options.
Today I wanted to apply Hide machine readable name of menu by default. so I had to search for the context around the drupal #attached_js form tag.
So I type man grep and search for context. And bly me there is an option :)
grep --context=4 -r "attached_js" *
Which is _cool_

It took some time and effort to configure but now I found the time and annoyance to give it a try.
Well not quite. The gnome-blog-poster is way to simple. Anyway it works.
The annoyance today is about eclipse. I need eclipse integration with trac and it wasn't working on eclipse 3.4.
So I installed eclipse 3.5 which is the third installation of eclipse in 1 week time sigh. Enabled mylyn and downloaded the trac integration plugin.

Guess it's not intended to do but this is how I import languages into Drupal 6.

1. wget the language files needed
2. run the script below which creates *_full.po files.
   
   #!/usr/bin/env bash

   for FILE in *.tar.gz
   do
   DIR=`basename $FILE ".tar.gz"`
   OUT="../${DIR}_full.po"
   [ -f $OUT ] && rm $OUT && echo "File $OUT removed ... "
   [ -d $DIR ] && rm -r $DIR && echo "directory $DIR gemoved ..."
   [ ! -d $DIR ] && mkdir $DIR && echo "directory $DIR created ..."
   cd $DIR
   tar xzf ../$FILE
   find . -type f -name "*.txt" -exec rm {} \;
   rm $OUT

This is a test for a ad service.

I thought is was hard to implement an ad service. But it is not. Just a few copy and paste actions at the right places.

[edit] Well initially it was easy but the video is not working now. That's quite annoying. Maybe it is because I use the files from Jeroen Wijering his site. If they are moved or that site is unavailable it will break.
So I changed this by grabbing the files from my own site.

I'm having troubles with the image preview when playing a video. The video goes dead. It seems version or content (?) dependent. The first movie uses all content and player from http://www.jeroenwijering.com.

This player is from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/player.swf (4.2.90)
