Hi Teus,
Sorry about not sending this to the right group. I am behind in all
Bibledit issues because of my being in Indonesia for six weeks.
In our Papua office, I have a git repository set up on one of the
workgroup machines. I thought it was working, but now I'm
not sure it ever did fully.
Here's some of our problems:
- On the repository machine, if I click Synchronize local data
with
repository, I get the error that "Can't merege the changes from the
repository. fatal: Entry John/7/data would be overwritten by merge.
Cannot merge." So is John7 the only thing I would lose if I synchronize
with the other choice? (repository overwrites local data). In the end,
instead of hitting "cancel," I did in
fact choose the other choice, to get rid of this error.
- Now when I start the program and check the git repository under
preferences, everything turns green except the copy and synchronize
setting. Is this normal? Do I need to choose something every time I
check this?
- On the other 5 machines in the workgroup, I have tried setting up
BE in
just one administrative account. I copied the .bibledit subdirectory
from my repository machine into the home directory of the other
machines, in one of the administrative accounts. I set up the
permissions that the owner and the group "kita" have full write and
delete permissions. Others have view permissions. On the administrative
account of these machines, BE comes up and looks good. I can see book
and chapter names, and everything loads fine. However the Git Setup
always returns to the settings on the repository machine (from which I
originally copied the data). If I change the git://localhost/repository
to git://bahasakita-bk5.papua.idb.sil.org/repository, then everything
works and looks like it is connecting to the repo. I choose Copy in the
middle and "take server data" below. Everything is green. Before
exiting the program, when checking git setup again, it says "To Do:
Cant write to the repository" and it wants me to choose Copy or
Sychronize again. Is this normal?
- BUT if I exit the program, and start it again, oftentimes the
setting
goes back to what it was before: git://localhost... OH! THIS time it
didn't! Perhaps it was because I resolved the problem on the repository
machine with John7?
- On another account on the second machine in the work group, (a
non-administrative account, but a member of "kita") I just brought over
a link to the .bibledit folder in the administrative account on that
machine. BE comes up and looks like it would work, but everything is
blank. I can't get book names or chapters to show. The project that we
are trying to share doesn't show, and the non-editable projects that
are part of the database in the administrative account don't show.
Obviously something is wrong with permissions. I can change
the git setup as above, and it acts like it would work, turning icons
green. But
after I click OK, there still are no fonts. Does this mean that every
single user will have to have a full .bibledit folder? My .bibledit
folder is huge because I have so many editable and non-editable texts.
- Also, another problem. When I changed permissions on
folders,
trying to free up the permissions so that the other accounts could read
projects in the admin account, it seems to have changed most of my
projects to be considered as editable projects. (This is when viewed
back in the admin account.) So should I use BE to change them back to
the right editable/non-edit status?
I would like to set up our workgroup to use Edubuntu
and
set up the six machines like a classroom, where five machines would
just be slaves of the one machine. In this case, would it mean that we
would still use git? Can you give us any information that will help us
in that?
Thanks so much,
Phil
