Currently I'm trying different distributed version control systems (DVCS) as alternative to an existing Subversion installation. Today I will share my impressions of bazaar (bzr). Overview While learning the basic concepts of Bazaar, it seems very promising and easy. Users migrating from a centralized VCS will find the checkout functionality very useful: You can simply commit and update like

Background I always wanted a small server for printing, file hosting and subversion. From a former employer I got some discarded thin clients a while ago. Power consumption is low, so they make perfect mini servers. Specs: 466MHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM I expanded it with a cheap 4 GB CF-Card and IDE-CF-Adapter. Vector was the first distribution running fine, but made a lot of use of the

The new Eclipse Galileo (3.5) ships with the completed provisioning system p2. It was introduced with Eclipse Ganymede (3.4) but not every feature was finished at that time.One of these features is the mirroring-tool.It enables mirroring of multiple update site in one single site. So it's ideal for companies to construct a single team-mirror with everything they need.There's a small page which

There are many bad habits programmers can develop in their life. The possible impact can range from hardly readable code to serious failures.Today I want to discuss a very common habit that can cause very serious issues up to security and stability flaws: Static Variables.No, I'm not speaking of constant values. It's ok to store, let's say, PI in a static constant. It's also ok to store

I started the spring-remoting-cluster project as a result of my job work. The initial intention was, to spread load across multiple webservers which act as a backend for different server applications.Our first version was very rough (it looked even worse than the first revision commited to the google repo). So I pushed it forward to get a code base which was maintainable and where features could
