10:41		iqlogbot joined #dvn
10:41		Topic for #dvn is now http://thedata.org - The Dataverse Network Project \| logs at http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/today
15:03	pdurbin	dvn_supporthelp.hmdc.harvard.edu where we ask people to write for more information about the dvn: http://www.iq.harvard.edu/products
15:03	pdurbin	those emails go into our ticketing system and i'm watching them come in
15:04	pdurbin	for the purposes of this IRC channel i'm especially interested in the ones that come in from people who are running their own DVN installation
15:06	pdurbin	i'm writing down the url for their dataverse installation (many of which are listed at http://thedata.org under Dataverse Networks around the World)
15:07	pdurbin	and under each url i'm jotting down the email address of the person who wrote in and any public information i can find about them (linkedin page or what have you)
15:07	pdurbin	once i've got a nice list, i'm thinking i'll reach out to them all at once to see if they'd be interested in participating in this IRC channel
15:08	pdurbin	i'm not at all saying that this IRC channel (which is only a few days old) would substitute for normal support via dvn_supporthelp.hmdc.harvard.edu
15:09	pdurbin	but i'm wondering if #dvn could become a place where the people who run and work on the dataverse software can gather and help each other out :)
16:36		kcondon joined #dvn
16:41	pdurbin	kcondon: welcome!
16:41	kcondon	Thanks Phil. Happy Monday!
16:48		kcondon left #dvn
17:26	pdurbin	i just checked with the guy who wrote our developer's guide ( http://guides.thedata.org/book/dvn-developers-guide-v-30 ) if there are any special steps for mac os x 10.8 (mountain lion). sounds like not... maybe something special for postgres but should pretty much just work
17:27	pdurbin	i also showed him my import test... from svn to git :) https://github.com/dvn/dvn-svn-import-test
17:48	pdurbin	since this mountain lion macbook is new, i don't have java installed yet. i wonder if it matters if i get it through http://support.apple.com/downloads or http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
17:48	* pdurbin	reads Does Mountain lion download Apple's JDK or the OpenJDK when attempting to load a Java app? - Ask Different - http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57378/does-mountain-lion-download-apples-jdk-or-the-openjdk-when-attempting-to-load-a-java-app
17:51	pdurbin	i guess i'll just get it from Apple, that way i'll get automatic patches through the app store. the easiest way seems to be clicking "Install" after trying to open "Java Preference"... To open "Java Preferences," you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?
17:52	pdurbin	it installs this version: Java for OS X 2012-006 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
18:44	pdurbin	BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 5 seconds)
18:45	pdurbin	no real surprises setting up the build environment. it's easier on mac than linux, where i had to make sure netbeans was completely patched and restarted before i added any plugins
19:10	pdurbin	was about to install postgres on this macbook... but i went ahead and gave a quick demo of https://github.com/pdurbin/dvn-vagrant to show how we can install postgres and glassfish and the rest of the application environment in a VM and deploy the app there
19:10	pdurbin	and it worked
19:10	pdurbin	phew!
19:12	pdurbin	like the readme at https://github.com/pdurbin/dvn-vagrant says, after `vagrant up` completes (takes a while... at least 20 minutes)... i was able to log into http://localhost:8081/dvn as networkAdmin
19:12	pdurbin	the disconnect i have though... is that the app that gets deployed is not the app i just built on my workstation
19:14	pdurbin	so right now it's more useful to show how to deploy the current release (DVN-web_v3_2.war). the dvn-vagrant environment downloads it from sourceforge with this bit of puppet code: https://github.com/pdurbin/dvn-vagrant/blob/master/modules/downloads/manifests/init.pp
19:16	pdurbin	so that's all fine but i'd also like to get a development version of the app (a version that i just built in netbeans) deployed onto a VM
19:16	pdurbin	i don't have this working yet
19:17	pdurbin	but this is my first stab at getting any java ee app (not DVN, just an example) deployed from netbeans into a vagrant VM: https://github.com/pdurbin/javaee-vagrant
19:19	pdurbin	so where i'm going with this (i think) is trying to merge dvn-vagrant with javaee-vagrant such that i can be writing DVN code in netbeans... then do a build... then deploy the build to a vagrant vm... and then test, of course
23:56	pdurbin	finding myself linking back here from http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2012-12-10#i_6229902
