Percona XtraDB Cluster init script for Debian/Ubuntu patch

On mysqlperformanceblog, I wrote on what was an easy solution to initialize a PXC cluster without modifying the configuration file (my.cnf) but only by providing a parameter to the init script. (link to that post) Unfortunately, this works only on RedHat systems (including CentOS, Fedora...

For Debian/Ubuntu, I wrote a minimal patch allowing that. The patch is attached to this post.

Enjoy !

hamster-time-tracker for Fedora 18

To track my time I used hamster-applet with the previous version of Fedora and I really liked it. It integrates perfectly with gtg.

This project hasn't be ported to Fedora 18, see bug 882788. I decided then to package the latest version of the project.

The git repo is available here.

You can see some screenshots here.

If you enjoy or discover this cool project, I'm happy to make it available for Fedora 18.

[UPDATE] I added the packages for F19 ;-)

GTG 0.3

Getting Things GNOME! has been released on November 6th but I was able to test it only tonight ;-)

So far, I'm very pleased by this release and to be honest this seems to be the first time synchronization with Remember the Milk is working (I used it on my n900 and I plan to use it know on my android.... but I need to wait 22h before next sync)

I've also installed the integration with gnome-shell very quickly and it seems awesome !

The development team as done a very nice job...

If you plan to test it, I've packaged this release for Fedora 17.
