Comment on setting up a local macports repository by olpa

olpa — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:24:09 +0000

Completely forgot: after adding a port, one has to

1) issue the command “portindex” in the directory “ports” to register the port
2) Run “sudo port sync” to synchronize local repository and local local repository

You can use eclipse and wtp plugin to re-format xml if it is not well formed.

Yes, xml shouldn’t contain errors, otherwise no tool can re-format the document.

Hi, plain great
but what about errors (e.g. not wellformed, or extra chars …).
When they occur. The buffer is overwritten w/ the
errormessage and the original buffercontent is lost
Or do I miss something.

Cheers, Jan

Comment on python, re-encoding incorrected encoded string by Oleg

Oleg — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:32:49 +0000

I've noticed that after all the code changes it looks like:

def reenc_next(cin, cout, i, s):
  try:
    ch  = chr(i)
    ch1 = cin(ch)[0]
    ch2 = cout(ch)[0]
    s = s.replace(ch1, ch2)
  except:
    pass
  return s

def reenc_string(from_enc, to_enc, s):
  from_dec = codecs.getdecoder(from_enc)
  to_dec   = codecs.getdecoder(to_enc)
  for i in xrange(256):
    s = reenc_next(from_dec, to_dec, i, s)
  return s

Comment on multimedia over network III: any ALSA-enabled application by billy puertas

billy puertas — Thu, 21 May 2009 10:14:16 +0000

Well, you just need to remember that a CDROM 1X speed was 150KB/s, so, that means that CD quality audio takes less than that. That means that for a lan or wireless network this is little traffic.

That’s good enough for me.

Comment on XeLaTeX: change font for headers and footers by Oleg

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it next time I have this problem!

Comment on XeLaTeX: change font for headers and footers by Enrico Gregorio

Enrico Gregorio — Fri, 08 May 2009 21:08:40 +0000

The definition of \normalfont is through \DeclareRobustCommand, which actually defines two commands: \normalfont and \normalfont~ (with a space at the end, I’ll use the ~ in order to show it). And the definition of “\normalfont” is “\protect\normalfont~”.

I don’t know about \switchtomainfont, but I guess that definining it with \DeclareRobustCommand will avoid the ugly mess.

Comment on rsync server on mac os x by ofi

ofi — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:42:31 +0000

Thank you very much for this article which was exactly what I was searching for.
I once tried RsyncX (on Panther I guess) and didn’t like it, because the GUI was kind of “notchy” and did not show me what was going on in the background.
Those reaching for perfectness might consider to compile a fresh 3.x version of rsync from the sources as recommended by http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html

Thanks for this. Most articles out there say to stay away from rsync on mac (for the reasons you mention) but like you said the “recommended” rsyncx seems to all but have disappeared.

Great! This was just what I needed, and with libxml2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/ it works fine on Windows too.
