Welcome to www.develnet.eu

Hi folkz, this site wants to share information, code and experience of several programming experiments. Right now I have no idea how often I will have the discipline to update it! We'll see! :-)
 
Be patient. The site is still under construction. More useful content to come! ;-)

About Geneva library

Geneva is an abbreviation and stands for "Grid-ENabled EVolutionary Algorithms".
What it does is described in the librarie's README file:
It aims to provide the necessary tools to perform parametric optimization in parallel on devices ranging from multi-processor machines over clusters all the way to Grids and Cloud installations.

Git clone via https with self signed certificate

# Initial clone
# set environment variable GIT_SSL_CAINFO pointing to certificate:
export GIT_SSL_CAINFO=/etc/ssl/certs/rorcz_root_cert.pem
git clone https://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git

# Ensure all future interactions with origin remote also work
cd org-mode
git config http.sslCAInfo /etc/ssl/certs/rorcz_root_cert.pem

Boost setup for Debian lenny

Here is a description how you can set up the C++ boost library for a Debian lenny system. Sure, you could just use aptitude to install the lenny boost package. The trick is that you need sometimes (e.g. for the GENEVA library) the latest or a newer version then that, which is packed for lenny.
I will describe the method how i have done that and which i think is the most convenient one.

What is my ip

curl -s checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

Generate SSL certificate for https

Generate server key:
openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048
Generate CSR:
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
Generate certificate (could be symlinked with server.pem):
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
View cert:
openssl x509 -in certificate.pem -noout -text

Geneva library installation

I want to describe how i made it to set up the Geneva library on a Debian lenny system.

The first step you need to get the Geneva lib into ops is to set up the C++ boost library at least in version 1.36. How to do that is the topic of a dedicated article: Boost setup for Debian lenny.
