Puppet 3 on Centos 5

Posted by on

Puppet 3 wants Ruby 1.8.7, Centos 5 supplies 1.8.5.

So to get round this, add this repo

Add then add a

exclude=ruby*

line to the updates section in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

yum update && yum install ruby then you are good to install puppet from the PuppetLabs repo.

eclipse – How can I configure the font size for the tree item in the package explorer in ecilpse – Stack Overflow

Posted by on

Create a file named, say, gtkrc-eclipse:

style "eclipse" {
font_name = "Sans Condensed 8"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "eclipse"

Then set a certain environment variable when invoking eclipse:
$ GTK2_RC_FILES=gtkrc-eclipse eclipse

via eclipse – How can I configure the font size for the tree item in the package explorer in ecilpse – Stack Overflow.

And to change the font size for the irritating tabs, you can edit the CSS

If you take a look in ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0.v201206081400/css, you will find the different CSS used. On Linux, if you use the GTK style (in the Preferences/Appearances), the e4_default_gtk.css is used.

Edit this file and change the .MPartStack section :


.MPartStack {
font-size: 9;
font-family: "Droid Sans";
swt-simple: false;
swt-mru-visible: false;
}

 

Scanning your Gmail with SpamAssassin

Posted by on

I’ve noticed more spam emails get into my Gmail INBOX lately, so decided to scan it with SpamAssassin.

The Perl commandline script (gmail-spamassassin) I wrote to do this can be downloaded from GitHub. I also subclassed Net::IMAP::Simple to support Gmail’s IMAP extensions, so you’ll need Gmail.pm from the repository too.

I intend to release Net::IMAP::Simple::Gmail to CPAN at some point, when it has a bit more functionality.

Update: released onto CPAN now.
