New Raspberrry Pi SD Card Image

[OricTosh]

Hi All,

In case you missed it on twitter, the Raspberry Pi foundation have released an new default image.
Called Raspbian “wheezy”  It's faster and more lean than the previous image.
More details here http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1605

Download from their download page http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads 
It can also be downloaded using Bit Torrent here is a link to the first bit
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images/raspbian/2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian/2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian.zip.torrent

Hi,
It's at the Build Brighton Hack Space nr Sainsbury's on lewis rd, directions below

http://www.buildbrighton.com/blog/contact/how-to-find-us/

You need to come in the rear entrance, that's the 2nd photo which shows the bike. There is a buzzer mounted on the wall just push the button and someone will let you in.

[Simon Watson]

Yup should be able to bring this along

So - got this sorted out last night. Also got this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edimax-EW-7811UN-Wireless-802-11b-150Mbps/dp/B003MTTJOY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343120276&sr=8-1

working on it as well (just about - there seem to be some weird dependency issues going on, so it doesn't work at start up).

I get the feeling that the raspberry pi stuff needs a slightly more organised setup for drivers and stuff like this rather than running the files off of someones dropbox...

[Pete Hobson]

mm that looks interesting.  woudl you be able to bring it along tonight - would like to see it in action.  

If you like, your welcome to do show to all talking us all through the setup - and the drivers :)

Will bring it along tonight - though don't have a portable screen as yet.

A talk might be a bit much this time round, but next time I'd be up for it.

I'm not going to make tonight (no ticket though I am kind of free now), so could you post details of the screen please. Looking for something compact to use with a portable data server that I'm currently working on, now that I finally have a Pi to call my own.

Neil. 

[robin clark]

do we need a `ticket' for tonight ?

[Neil Ford]

Yes, as space is very limited at Build Brighton.

I believe there was an eventbrite page to register through.

Neil.

hi robin, ive just had a last minute cancellation,

please come along - directions are at

[Emma McCrea]

Two tickets available for the jam tonight as I can no longer make it due to a family emergency. Any takers?

Hi All, I just bought a 64 GIG SDXC card and it works in a pi model B.
I had to buy an SDXC ready card reader to dd the image onto
it from unbuntu but its working nicely as a git and web server for me now.

hey robin. do you know how git stacks up against svn resource wise?  I've done a few tests with svn and been quite pleased with how the pi handles the limited memory. I'm planning to do a 15 user test on Monday and see how it copes under a heavy workload. but would consider a switch to git for good reasons. will report my tests back anyway

Git uses 256 SHA1 encryption for file verification,
svn, cvs sccs etc use no checksums !
Git is the only one I would trust.
Also it was written by the master himself, Linus Torvalds...
I have seen corruption from 5 year old cvs repositories.

[Toby Cole]

Something that might be a bit more relevant to the Pi as a git 'server' is that much more of the processing is done on the client side (log viewing, diffs, merges etc). 

The Pi can just be used as the canonical/authoritative copy of the repository as every copy of the project is an entire clone of the whole history of the project (hence 'git clone' as opposed to 'svn checkout'). 

[robin48gx]

yes, each repository is a complete copy with all the history and branches, meaning you can work with the full revisioning system off line even, another advantage. it was designed for many people coding on large projects, so you can always see when who and why a change was made.
good for collaborative projects where people are not in the same room!

also changes are recorded as events not single file revision steps. but i am still impressed by the data i.tegrity checking with SHa1

[robin48gx]

canonical copy git, you set bare mode to true in the config

[Pete Hobson]

Hey all.  Just thought id give a little update: As you can see by the uptime on top (below) the pi is being rock solid so far as a SVN server.  The reason the uptimes not actually higher - is that we had a powercut 54 days ago :)  

Its not the most sexy use, but I really like the idea of a single app machine (im considering this approach for a few other applications).  Also the pi powers itself from the USB of the NAS drive, it has no keyboard or monitor, and i've not seen any issues at all doing this.  Each night the pi clones its SD card to a backup as well, my theory being if the SD card ever corrupts i can just restore form the last image with no real issues.  the log below shows a fairly heavy svn update request, and even with 10 users im not seeing any significant cpu issues.
