Import scripts

Copy this series of commands into a terminal: Installs git, downloads scripts and installs them.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y -q git && git clone https://github.com/Scurby/Testing.git && cp -i /home/swgemu/Testing/README.md /home/swgemu/Documents && mkdir bin && cp -i /home/swgemu/Testing/bin/* /home/swgemu/bin/ && mkdir setup && cp -i /home/swgemu/Testing/setup/* /home/swgemu/setup/ && mkdir run && cp -r /home/swgemu/Testing/run/* /home/swgemu/run/ && chmod -v +x /home/swgemu/bin/* && export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Run setup scripts

The following scripts are run from the command line. They are numbered in the order I use them.

1. options - Installs Optional packages including xclip, vim, quassel, and others. Asks to run 'first' script.
2. first - Installs required packages and programs including Lua, BerkelyDB, and others. Asks to run 'start' script.
3. start - Setup of development environment follows these steps:
   • Choose editor
   • Setup git user.* config
   • Setup ssh key
   • Register on gerrit
   • Test Gerrit setup
   • Clone repos and checkout a local branch of Core3 origin/unstable
   • Symlinks (idlc)
   • Engine library
   • MySQL database checks
   • Server configuration
   • Tre files
   • Asks if you want to build and run the server.
4. build - simple build script
   • 3 options- build, build config, build clean
5. run_dev - Builds and runs the development server.
   • Using this command to start the server will:
   • launches the server under gdb on a 'screen'.
   • outputs a screenlog to ~/run/screenlog*
   • use the config.lua in ~/run/conf/ to relace the config.lua in ~/MMOCoreORB/bin/conf.
   • uses gdb in batch mode and starts with the commands in ~/run/run_gdb which you can change to your pleasing; (breakpoints, dumps, settings etc.)
6. eclipse - Installs eclipse luna, imports project and sets git team properties.
   • (Requires Egit-properties.tar.gz in /home/setup/ )
   • (Requires indexing exlusions)
7. latest - do a quick git-stash, git-pull, and git-stash-apply so you can get to the latest code w/o loosing local work.

The following scripts are also useful...

• ack - Nice source grep tool (try: cd ~/workspace/MMOCoreORB/src; ack PlanetManager).
• freeze - Save your devenv state so you can repeat the same tests over and over.
• thaw - allow server to continue from previous state each time you run it.
• extras - Installs EXTRA packages.
• full - options, first, and start scripts combined. Refactor to here
• cleanup_for_publish - Strips virtual machine down for distribution, creates version number, resets pwds, etc. USE WITH CAUTION!!!
• createdb - mysql table, user, and pwd tool.
  • Ref: (http://jetpackweb.com/blog/2009/07/20/bash-script-to-create-mysql-database-and-user/)
• myip - display the ip of the VM and login port for quick configuration of the windows client.
• updateip - Get ip address of local eth0 and update galaxy table as needed.
• installed - Package and version check saved to /home/.txt.
• prime - Provides info to set sudo permissions.
• bang - dl's and installs these scripts
• idlc - idlc install tool
