To install Git on a Centos server you need to install something called EPEL first.

This is an extra repository of apps which you need to have accessible in order to install Git.

I tried other tutorials on the net that were quite extensive but didn’t work. In the end its just two commands:

1. Install EPEL:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the_packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F

2. Install Git + Git Daemon

yum install git git-daemon

For me to get it to work, I had to manually change the epel.repo file because I had created a non functional one previously. I got the warning:

warning: /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo created as /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo.rpmnew

So I just did the following:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
mv epel.repo epel.repo.old
mv epel.repo.rpmnew epel.repo

 


 


 

I’ve just taken delivery of a nice new eBook reader

here’s my must have info for the moment:

1. Calibre – FOSS eBook management

2. Stripping the margins out of PDF files
You will quickly notice when reading PDF files that you are wasting valuable screen space with large margins designed for printed paper. You want to strip these away completely.

Luckily we have an excellent app to take care of it.

sudo aptitude install texlive-extra-utils

now if you want to strip a PDF of its pointless margins, just run in the shell:

pdfcrop filename.pdf

that’s it!

Warning though, it does use a lot of processing power and isn’t particularly fast. It’s a heavy operation so maybe leave it running over night or something.

If you wanted to run it on a few pdfs at a time, you might try this.

find /path/to/pdfs -type f -name '*.pdf' -execdir pdfcrop {} \;

definitely an over night one though!
