The prep-script.sh will setup the latest Node and install the latest perf version on your Linux box.

When you want to generate the flame graph, run the following (folder locations taken from install script):

sudo sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
# May also have to do the following:

sudo sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=0

So, to get something like /etc/rc.local you can use the custom SMF import facility. (See the source for more information about how this actually works.)

/opt is mounted out of zones/opt by default. You can create a directory /opt/custom/smf and populate it with SMF manifests. Any manifests you put in there will be imported by SmartOS when it boots. Below is an example SMF manifest that simply starts /opt/custom/bin/postboot, a self-explanatory shell script that you can use like /etc/rc.local.

Note that it would likely be better to customise and respin your own images, as putting a bunch of platform state in the zones pool undoes some of the benefits of the ramdisk platform architecture that SmartOS has.

Effective transpiling of ES6

After publishing my article on ECMAScript 6, some have reached out to ask how I exactly I make it all work.

I refrained from including these details on the original post because they're subject to immiment obsoletion. These tools are changing and evolving quickly, and some of these instructions are likely to become outdated in the coming months or even weeks.

The main tool

When evaluating the available transpilers, I decided to use 6to5, which has recently been renamed to Babel. I chose it based on:

The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5

These instructions work for the Raspberry Pi running Raspbian (hard float) and create a hardware optimized version of NodeJS for the Raspberry PI, (and include a working install and NPM!!!):

1. Install Raspbian - http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

2. Install the necessary dependecies:

sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential

(If you just installed git then you need to administer your git identity first, else adding the patches below will fail!!!)
