- kernel-o-matic & pi finder
- --------------------------
-
- Published Friday:
-
- - https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Pi-Kernel-o-Matic
- - https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-kernel-o-matic
-
- Published a week or so before:
-
- - https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Pi-Finder
- - https://blog.adafruit.com/2015/01/23/help-us-test-our-new-raspberry-pi-bootstrap-piday-raspberrypi/
-
- These have been a lot of my working time these last couple weeks, an
- overlapping set of projects aimed at making the Pi (and eventually other
- single-board computers) more usable and Adafruit's hardware and tutorials both
- more accessible. This has been frustrating and rewarding by turns. I'm trying
- to reduce the complexity of a domain I just barely understand, in a lot of
- ways, which may be a good summary of software development in general.
-
- [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) is something I should have paid attention
- to sooner. The interfaces to virtualization are finally starting to overcome
- my innate laziness on the whole question.
-
- I just booted a Windows XP box for some reason. It made that noise. You know
- the one.
-
- raspberry pi 2
- --------------
-
- Announced today:
-
- - http://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/
- - https://blog.adafruit.com/2015/02/02/raspberry-pi-2-model-b-armv7-with-1g-ram-is-here-benchmarks-and-more-raspberry_pi-raspberryp/
- - http://hackaday.com/2015/02/02/introducing-the-raspberry-pi-2/
-
- Expect this to prove interesting. I've been having a lot of conversations
- about the relative merits of small computing systems, and while this can hardly
- be said to address all the complaints you might have about the Pi, boosting
- processor and RAM will do a lot for practical usability.
-
- telling composer to ignore php version requirements
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- Using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to set up a little project, I run
- into the problem that the locally-installed PHP is a bit behind the times.
-
- brennen@exuberance 0:09:32 /home/brennen/code/project $ ./composer.phar install
- Loading composer repositories with package information
- Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
- Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
-
- Problem 1
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.9 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.8 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.7 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.6 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.5 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.4 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.3 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.2 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.11 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.10 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.1 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - sparkfun/sparklib 1.1.0 requires php >=5.5.17 -> no matching package found.
- - Installation request for sparkfun/sparklib ~1.1 -> satisfiable by sparkfun/sparklib[1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.10, 1.1.11, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7, 1.1.8, 1.1.9].
-
- Potential causes:
- - A typo in the package name
- - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
- see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.
-
- Read <http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.
-
- Well, ok. I wrote a lot of that code, and I'm pretty sure nothing I want out
- of it will break under a slightly stale PHP. I check `./composer.phar help install`,
- and sure enough, there's an option to ignore this requirement:
-
- brennen@exuberance 0:13:21 /home/brennen/code/project $ ./composer.phar install --ignore-platform-reqs
- Loading composer repositories with package information
- Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
- - Installing sparkfun/sparklib (1.1.11)
- Downloading: 100%
-
- Writing lock file
- Generating autoload files
-
- I never used to quite get the "install an executable utility script in the root
- directory of your project" thing, but the whole paradigm is growing on me a little
- as my projects accumulate little Makefiles and shell scripts to render HTML,
- publish revisions, or deploy packages.
