SSL Certificate location on Linux For system wide use OpenSSL should provide you /etc/ssl/certs and /etc/ssl/private. The latter of which will be restricted 700 to root:root.

If you have an application not performing an initial privsep from root then it might suit you to locate them somewhere local to the application with the relevantly restricted ownership and permissions.

To install root certificates.

$ cd /usr/ssl/certs

Git DMZ Flow

I've been asked a few times over the last few months to put together a full write-up of the Git workflow we use at RichRelevance (and at Precog before), since I have referenced it in passing quite a few times in tweets and in person. The workflow is appreciably different from GitFlow and its derivatives, and thus it brings with it a different set of tradeoffs and optimizations. To that end, it would probably be helpful to go over exactly what workflow benefits I find to be beneficial or even necessary.

• Two developers working on independent features must never be blocked by each other
  • No code freeze! Ever! For any reason!
• A developer must be able to base derivative work on another developer's work, without waiting for any third party
• Two developers working on inter-dependent features (or even the same feature) must be able to do so without interference from (or interfering with) any other parties
• Developers must be able to work on multiple features simultaneously, or at lea

When you are stuck with your vagrant machine the way described above there is no need to boot in gui mode (and is impossible without an X server).

While your VM is booting, in a separate terminal window, just find out the id of the running machine.

vboxmanage list runningvms

pacman can update all packages on the system with just one command. This could take quite a while depending on how up-to-date the system is. This command can synchronize the repository databases and update the system's packages (excluding "local" packages that are not in the configured repositories):

# pacman -Syu

Querying package databases

pacman queries the local package database with the -Q flag; see:

$ pacman -Q --help

# How to create an RPM from source with spec file

# This is for Redhat versions of linux. Sometimes when you search for an rpm package,
# it is either outdated or not available. The only thing available is the source code.
# You can create a custom RPM package from source.
#
# For this example, I'll be using the latest version of Git, currently v.1.7.7.3

# Step: 1
# Install rpmbuild

y default, omnibus-gitlab stores the Git repository data under /var/opt/gitlab/git-data. The repositories are stored in a subfolder repositories. You can change the location of the git-data parent directory by adding the following line to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb.

git_data_dir "/mnt/nas/git-data"

Note that the target directory and any of its subpaths must not be a symlink.

Run sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure for the change to take effect.

If you already have existing Git repositories in /var/opt/gitlab/git-data you can move them to the new location as follows:
