Reviewing Patches in Git
FreeIPA requires that all code receive an ACK in a peer code review prior to submission to the main repository. While some patches can be reviewed inline in the email, more often the patch makes no sense without context.
Chromium and FreeIPA
While Google Chrome Is only in Beta at version 9 for Linux, the upstream project, Chromium, has all the latest features. Spot has provided a repo with packages for some of your favorite platforms.
For development, I run the browser on the same serve that I install freeipa-server on. To get it to run,:
chromium-browser --auth-server-whitelist=`hostname` --auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist=`hostname`
The unit tests don’t run using the file: protocol, but I’ve run them against the Static site and they run fine.

On Hierarchy
The book “On Intelligence.” is one of the most intriguing I’ve read in a long time. I read it as context to understand Dilpeet George’s thesis which is based around the concept of “Hierarchical temporal memory.” or HTM for short. HTM is a mathematical model of a learning machine based on the organization of the neocortex of the mammalian brain. HTM is a tree, with a complex interface between the nodes. At the bottom of the tree are the sensors: touch, light, sound, smell. At the top it the hippocampus, which seems to have its own rules. The focus in HTM is the nodes between root and leaf.
Building FreeIPA
Here’s the short version, what I did on F14.
yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools" git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/freeipa.git cd freeipa yum install -y `grep BuildRequires: ipa.spec.in ` make all rpms yum localinstall --nogpgcheck -y dist/rpms/*rpm yum -y install bind-dyndb-ldap #Dogtag is broken on F14. There is a workaround. ln -s /usr/share/java/xalan-j2-serializer.jar /usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib/xalan-j2-serializer.jar ipa-server-install -U -r ` hostname | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'` -p freeipa4all -a freeipa4all -u admin --setup-dns --no-forwarders
