fix that pesky "ImportError: No module named packaging.version" problem. Or more generally, if you need to fix pip using pip, just make sure you do "python -m pip" instead of straight-up "pip".

It can come up while installing anything really. I'm not sure exactly which versions of pip are affected, I know I had 1.5.6 and it was affected.

Quick, dirty, simple PHP to use `doveadm auth` to validate a user's plaintext password against the stored hash without exposing the password through shell commands. Note: This assumes that you already have dovecot's auth backend set up and working. Also, there does not appear to be a simple way to feed in a pre-computed hash, it will only use th…
<?php
class DoveadmAuth {
public static function auth($username, $password) {
$descriptors = array(
0 => array('pipe', 'r'),
1 => array('pipe', 'w'),
2 => array('pipe', 'w'),

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]

	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
