Lesson 1: Assignment 1Install mercurial and id-utils using your Linux system's package management software. We'll be using them both in future lessons. For example, under Ubuntu: $ sudo aptitude install mercurial $ sudo aptitude install id-utils Use the class forum for this lesson if you get stuck, or to share any particular techniques/approaches you used to get these tools installed and working. HOMEWORK: do not submit "homework" for this assignment unless you get particularly odd results or have a problem completing the exercise.Homework Submissions25 total

the idutils package is called just that (idutils) in gentoo FYI Comments:
Thanks for the info. The discrepancy with id-utils vs. idutils in package names is pretty confusing, huh? I'm wondering why it happened, but not hopeful it'll get fixed anytime soon.
Someone somewhere probably decided to try to make it more readable and user friendly (most often not a bad thing) but using the upstream names for packages is much more desirable I think :) 
Umm, there was not much to it... Comments:
Yes; these initial assignments can be pounded through really easily. That's why the homework note on the assignment says: HOMEWORK: do not submit "homework" for this assignment unless you get particularly odd results or have a problem completing the exercise.
Sorry...
Me too; I didn't realize the markup would come out that big when I pasted it. And there's currently no way to edit comments, so it's stuck like it is. Arrgh. I set up "Lesson 1, Assignment 3" to collect peoples comments and progress on the first few lessons, with hopes that for assignments 1 and 2, only issues/problems/hurdles would get documented in the homework. Once the site's got comment/homework editing capabilities for course creators, I'll be able to prune things to that end. In the meanwhile, ...no worries. Welcome aboard, and I look forward to your contributions to the exploratory assignments!

Any particular reason you used apt-get instead of aptitude? It's all good, though; as long as the tools are installed and working you're good to go.

in mac 10.6.2 sudo port install mercurail +bash_completion Comments:
So did you get id-utils as well?
yap.
Rocking. Here's hoping all of this works for you; I've not tried it out on a mac myself. 
sudo aptitude install mercurial sudo aptitude install id-utils Worked fine. A bit newer to debain, I've always used apt-get and didn't know the difference between it and aptitude, which lead me to do a bit of research on the subject...it seem aptitude is probably what I should start using instead. Thanks :D Comments:
Awesome. Yes, you can and should use aptitude for just about anything you used to use apt-get for.

Installed Mercurial through package manager. yaourt -S mercurial Comments:
Running ArchLinux, huh? Cool. Tell me if I'm wrong; my understanding is that "Yaourt is to pacman as aptitude is to apt-get" ...is that more or less accurate? 
I've used mercurial for some other stuff so it was installed. I did need to sudo apt-get id-utils though. Comments:
No problem; main thing is to ensure the tools are there for you to use. You might want to investigate using id-utils tools on that "other stuff" you're already working on. I find them really useful for looking around other people's code - for example, ensuring you've looked at ALL callers of a particular function you're changing.

I'm wondering why you had the authentication warning. I didn't see that when I installed mercurial. dunno. Maybe a difference between apt-get and aptitude. What distro are you running?
The newest version of Mint, it probably pulled from some extra repository and triggered the warning. Regardless, seems to be working fine. 
sudo aptitude install mercurial sudo aptitude install id-utils all done now Comments:
Awesome! I'll try to stay in front of you guys with laying in the follow-on lessons. If you run out of lessons/assignments, just check in again tomorrow and there'll be more!

Bien hecho! Looks like you're good to go. What distro are you running?
pacman would mean it's Arch in this case. A note for other Arch users, the idutils package is available from AUR, and not installable using pacman. You will need yaourt or similar.
Yes I figured that out a little after I asked. Also there's a note elsewhere about idutils vs. id-utils for Arch. Thanks! |
