Svn Switch or Downgrade Project subversion copy

I have using two OS on my machine(Fedora 9 and Windows XP). and Workspace or Project environment i am using same directory which present on NTFS partition.

Few days back when i am working on one project(Fedora 9). and tried to commit my code. i got following error:
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy ‘.’; please get a newer Subversion client

I searched lot on google but not found any proper solution. But i got to know i am using subversion 1.6.2 on windows machine and fedora box i am using older version 1.4.2. That is reason i get the error.
I tried following command:
yum update subversion

But this not worked for fedora9.

I need to install subversion 1.6.2 to solve the problem. But later on realize that there is no upgraded stable version available for Fedora or Linux.

I goon through so many articles but not found exact solution.
Here is solution of this problem. I found this solution in Subversion faq page.

Download and run a python script(http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py) to set the working copy back to the your subversion-
cd $PROJECT_DIR
chmod +x change-svn-wc-format.py
./change-svn-wc-format.py . 1.4

This will solve your problem.
Important Note:This method helpfull to 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 subversion software.

New GPRS service in Pune

For Aircel- You will get the 15k to 20k speed for browsing. and for downloading you will get the 3k or 4k speed.
If you want to use internet for basic needs like Email checking and working on live projects (SVN) than AIRCEL is worth it..
But you want some more speed or download speed than go with Airtel or Idea. In GPRS Reliance is the Best for Speed but did not having any unlimited plan.

New GPRS service in Pune

Idea’s Tariff -30 Rs Per day(Unlimited Use)
Airtel Tariff – 25 Rs Per day (Unlimited Use)
Aircel Tariff – 3 Rs Per day(unlimited Use) (98 Rs for Month pack)

If you take any sim from any service providers who are offering unlimited GPRS service. They may not charge you for downloading for any thing.
Some GPRS providers offers surfing is totally free. This is absolutely true but you need to know about surfing. only surfing means only HTML content displaying. If you check on HTML site then you will be fitting in to that scheme.(Google-only HTML base except image logo) As per my knowledge most of 99% sites are media files and media content.(For exmaple- yahoo.com, youtube.com or any site which having images or flash or video.)
So in Unlimited service nothing is chargeable. but in download case all sites are down loadable.

Cheapest mobile internet in India

Now I am using the Aircel GPRS in Pune. Let me tell you the easiest and cheapest way to access and get the internet through mobile.
First i taken Aircel Sim card in just Rs. 99 only. Then with in 10 min i get activated my mobile no. then i recharged my mobile to Rs. 98 for mobile Internet (GPRS). This is for Unlimited uses scheme for GPRS. This is the cheapest rate plan in India. I spedn only Rs. 197 only for one month use of Internet.
Net Speed is slow but worth it to Rs. 197.
you can increase your GPRS internet speed. Please follow the steps:
I am telling these steps for XP professional Os.
1. Go to Control Panel->Network Connections-> Than
2. Select your mobile connection Icon and go to properties.
3. Click on General tab and click on configure button
4. select the box of Maximum speed(bps) -Bits Per second
5. change that to 921600 and stop the mobile internet
6. restart the mobile internet or restart the GPRS

You will able to get good speed not boost but nice.

All the Best

Desktop application for WordPress post

We use to write my wordpress blog daily. That is like our habit. That is like my habit. WordPress visual editor is so good. We need to login each time to wordpress and write a blog post. page refreshing, checking post that part is boring. List of Desktop application for WordPress.

Desktop application for WordPress post

So I looked for solution to write blog from desktop application. I found very use full application which is free for wordpress.

Website: Zoundry.com

Desktop application for WordPress post
Desktop application for WordPress post

Price: Free

Summary: This software is excellent! This is what I had in mind when I set out to find desktop blogging software for wordpress. The usability is excellent. Initially, I expected some type of configuration wizard or walk-through. Instead, what I received was a panel that had the steps with links on how to set up my blog for Zoundry lovin’. I believe it worked better than a walk-through could have, since it taught me the way to set up another blog if I needed it. This app got out of my way and let me do what I set out to do. Zoundry was definitely built by a programmer with excellent usability experience.

Advantages:

  • Automatic blog-type discovery (just provide the URL!)
  • Easy to set up accounts
  • Imports your blog posts
  • Getting started tab guides you through blog set up
  • HTML validator built into the code view (big plus)
  • WYSIWYG features still usable in code view
  • Includes a publish menu to finalize your decisions, tags, trackbacks, etc.

Disadvantages:

  • Scroll wheel on my mouse crashed the entire app on the publish menu. Luckily, Zoundry has an auto save feature which recovered the post I had started. Nice.
  • Interface is a little cluttery

Compress the server response with Nginx

Maybe you aware with apache “mod_gzip and mod deflate”

Compress the server response with Nginx

Web page compression is not a new technology, but it has recently gained higher recognition in the minds of IT administrators and managers because of the rapid ROI it generates. Compression extensions exist for most of the major Web server platforms

For Apache Normally use following syntax:

mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.js$
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^text/css$

mod_gzip_item_include file \.html$
mod_gzip_item_include file \.shtml$
mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/html$

mod_gzip_item_include file \.txt$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/plain$

mod_gzip_item_include file \.css$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/css$

We used gzip and compressing files technology with various browers. You need following browser support for this.

  • Accept-encoding: gzip
  • Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate

For Nginx i used following code in Nginx.conf file:

# Compression of response time
gzip on;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_comp_level 9;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_min_length 0;
gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css image/x-icon image/png image/jpg image/jpeg text/js text/php;
gzip_vary on;

Nginx Rule for Rails Application

Use following code for setting up Nginx for rails.

http {
include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type  application/octet-stream;</code>

log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $request '
'"$status" $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;
