Hello,

I was unable to reproduce this. PHP files on my development server were 644 and after running the script, they were deployed as 644. Maybe it is a umask problem?

Thanks for this tip.. but im having an issue with permissions. Is it just my server setup, or goes GIT alter permission from 644 to 664 for the files?

When I use your script, it works beautifully, but the files (php) are now 664 (group writeable) and my server kicks a 500 error.

Any advice would be wicked cool.

I’ve created an shell script to automate the process described by the author:

Big thank you for this article. I have been looking for quite a while for a complete example of how to implement Zend_Acl.

Of course if you’re using SNMP, you’ll soon find that not all MIBs support 64bit counters :/

Comment on The Definitive Guide to SQLite by Jay Godse

This is an excellent book. I own a copy, and it is well worth it.

The book doesn’t talk about advocacy for SQLite well, and my page on it at http://www.squidoo.com/sqlitehammer does a better job at it. It is a great complement to the book.

Hi,

Yes, I wrote that book and some of the stuff on unixmages. Unfortunately that’s all that was ever written in that style. I’m glad you found some use out of it, though!

git is pretty easy to work with. gitcasts.com has some free screencasts. The author of that site is also coming out with a book called Pro Git soon.

http://hoth.entp.com/output/git_for_designers.html is also an easy tutorial to start with.

github.com is fun to play with once you’re familiar with the basics.

You don’t need to be an expert to use git. Honestly I’ve never even done a merge with git yet…
