2.4. 9:00AM cluepad
SEO optimization.
2.4.1. Documentation review
Going through all of the required setup associated with
postgresql 8.1 (database) postgresql-devel 8.1.8 postgresql-server 8.1.8 darcs 2.2.1 (source control) - 2.1.2 (from binary) vim-enhanced 2:7.0.109-6.el5 (text editor) apache 2.2.3 (web server) perl 5.8.8 mod_perl 2.0.4 openssl-devel screen ntpd
2.4.2. Core+ Catalyst setup
Completed via CPAN.
Looking for a trivial way to get a sample application working.
http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/examples/
Additional tools were
perl -MCPANPLUS -e 'install Catalyst::Devel'
2.4.3. darcs setup
Pulled an installer externally.
Tried to pull from from a build on darcs.net but it was a 1.x binary. Needed to uninstall
checking for ghc… ghc dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi-2.1.dylib Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/ghc-6.10.1/ghc
This doesn't seem to be a mature / maintained system.
The 10.6 binary on the site doesn't work with 10.5.
No GUI exists for the system.
Had to work around the issue by getting a copy of darcs via USB.
Verified:
jwalsh@JWALSHMAC:~ 19% darcs –version 2.1.2 (release)
2.4.4. Postgres
2.4.5. Basecamp
https://cluepad.basecamphq.com/clients/1790522
This provides the base list of tasks.
Provided the base set of information to simplify the connection.
2.4.6. Public key activation

- Tag provided to link back
- Link back to site
- OAuth link between GA and the system

Was able to pull
darcs get cluepad@cluepad.com:/home/cluepad/cluepad
