The terminal session below shows how to use XARGS to remove a series of files from the git repos. Thanks to Ben Pickles for suggesting the use of XARGS.

$(parser_update):~/Projects/media-importer$ git ls-files --deleted
lib/default/importer/folder_reader.rb
vendor/plugins/delayed_job
$(parser_update):~/Projects/media-importer$ git ls-files --deleted | xargs git rm
rm 'lib/default/importer/folder_reader.rb'
rm 'vendor/plugins/delayed_job'
To make things easy in future I’ve created a grall or git-remove-all alias in my bin/aliases file.
alias grall='git ls-files --deleted | xargs git rm'
Dan Udey sent through a sweet and simple hack for installing libmemcached 0.25.14 today. His post includes an additional hack allowing variants of a single port.
So if your like me and have a port installed environment it’s kinda tricky to get libmemcached 0.25.14 installed to be compatable with the current memcached-0.14 gem.
1. If you alread have libmemcached installed, say 0.25 then deactivate it:
sudo port deactivate libmemcached2. Edit the portfile for libmemcached
sudo port edit libmemcachedAdd in the content below:
- $Id: Portfile 46340 2009-02-03 03:08:47Z brett@macports.org $

3. Install the port
sudo port install libmemcached4. Install the gem
sudo gem install memcached
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Installing ri documentation for memcached-0.14...
1. Generate the rdoc for the interesting gem. It probably would have been installed with the gem but just to be sure…
sudo gem rdoc jchris-couchrest gem serverhttp://localhost:8808I must have conveyed my frustration well they other day when trying to use VI for a few quick edits. It seemed like VI was playing up, inserting A’s and B’s for and arrow key press. I finally switched to nano to get the edit done. Over the weekend i received an email from Ben Pickles who was rebuilding his slice host and came across a solution. It proved to be some late grease for my squeaky VI problem, much appreciated Ben!
From a comment in this article:
Darryl Hamilton commented Thu May 08 20:18:23 UTC 2008 ago:
What you’ll want to do is set vi (or in this case, vim) into nocompatible mode. To do this, type ‘:set nocompatible’ (without the quotes) in any vi session.
To make that change permanent, create a file called .vimrc in your home dir, with ‘set nocompatible’ in it (without the quotes)
