Just in case you’d like to update rsync on your Mac — for example, to do iPhoto incremental back ups — you can do the following:
./configure && make && sudo make install
Hope this helps.
In case your locate database gets corrupted, run the following in the terminal:
sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
It’ll take a while, but you should be running after the rebuild.
I recently purchased an Apple Extreme 802.11ac router, as my trusty, old WRT54G running dd-wrt has finally died. I’m not too happy that this router doesn’t support stateful packet inspection — I need to know what my kids are viewing. Other than that, it’s been super easy to setup.
Anyway, my AT&T 3600HGV modem is running on (somewhat) bridge mode (see here), so I needed to allow my AirPort Extreme to accept DHCP renewal packets, so it didn’t keep trying to renew it’s public IP from AT&T. All you need to do is:
Save the settings, update, and that’s it.
From the terminal, do the following:
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.13.tar.gz
tar -xzvf wget-1.13.tar.gz
cd wget-1.13
./configure --with-ssl=openssl
make
sudo make install
In case you encounter the following error using SVN — on my Mac, for me:
svn: E205007: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the –message (-m) or –file (-F) options
svn: E205007: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set, and no ‘editor-cmd’ run-time configuration option was found
Just run the following in your terminal and all will be good:
export SVN_EDITOR=vim
Note: You can use "nano" or whatever editor you’d like.
