Noober

Setting up a machine for development involves a LOT of dependencies and time

Ideas

Done

• Homebrew
• Textmate + Bundles
• Git
• Adium
• Skitch
• MacPorts
• Skype
• Chrome
• Firefox
• Sequel Pro
• Mailplane

• Lots of brews
• Set up Skitch to store all settings and images in Drop Box (by symlinking)

• Setup dot-files
• Installs Colemak

Started

• Developer Tools + iPhone SDK/XCode

Future

• "after" steps for homebrew installations (e.g. launchctl stuff)
• MacVIM 'mvim' command (macvim brew is failing and .app template ignores all but the .app in source zip/tgz)
• Configure iTerm colours to match railscasts them
• MacVIM plugins
• Passenger
• Firefox extensions (firebug esp)
• Chrome extensions
  • https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ddngkjbldiejbheifcmnfmmfiniimbbg# (Pretty JSON)
• Set up iChat to have Bonjour (always on)
• Backspace on capslock hack
• Add Colemak input option (http://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=26259)
  • Set as default
  • Change the keyboard shortcut
• Bind / DNSMasq
• LaunchBar
• AppCleaner
• Fluid
• http://github.com/xvzf/vcprompt
• SizeUp
• TextMate ProjectPlus plugin
• Teleport
• Telefrag + AppleScript hack to inject
• PrefPanes
  • Perian
  • Passenger
  • MySQL
• DTerm (http://www.decimus.net/dterm.php)
• Customised Terminal profiles (http://github.com/xaviershay/babushka-deps/blob/master/terminal.rb)
  • Visor (http://cloud.github.com/downloads/darwin/visor/Visor-2.2-84d1873.zip)
  • Blurminal (http://github.com/timmfin/Blurminal/raw/master/Blurminal-SL-64bit.bundle.zip)
    • defaults write com.apple.Terminal ‘Blurminal Radius’ -float 1.0
  • ANSI colours (http://github.com/timmfin/terminalcolours/raw/master/TerminalColours-SL-64bit.zip)
  • terminal keyboard shortcuts: (http://bjeanes.com/2010/06/26/option-keyboard-shortcuts-for-terminal-and-iterm)
• PlugSuit (http://www.macupdate.com/download.php/26068/download)
• Common fonts
• PeepOpen
• Permissions for /Library/{Perl,Ruby,Python} corrected as per homebrew wiki page
• Pretty much everything in: http://blog.therubymug.com/blog/2010/05/20/the-install-osx.html#fn2
• Global rvm gems:
  • pg
  • mysql
  • open_gem
• Set up Adium, Skype, iChax logs to sync through Drop Box (by symlinking)
• Brews that require launchctl installations should install the scripts and load them!
• App License (from dropbox)
  • 1password: ~/Library/1Password/License/
• Configure menu extras: defaults read com.apple.systemuiserver
• Get the slocate database running: sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist
• Add zsh and bash brews to /etc/shells
• Set zsh as default shell (from brew)

Misc/Hacks/Preferences to set

• sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport /usr/sbin/airport
• turn universal access on (for applescripting interfaces, etc)
• Set up file/folder reference patterns in TextMate
• Set default file type of Textmate to ruby: defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDefaultLanguage E00B62AC-6B1C-11D9-9B1F-000D93589AF6
• sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall=65536
• sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=16777216

Notes

• Use Sparkle RSS locations to get the latest version of each app for download so versions don't need to be maintained
• Standard way to apply licenses to everything?
• use system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType to get a list of all installed applications

Babushka TODO

• Make tmbundles UPDATE to latest (regardless if a version exists or not)
• Make process_sources be smarter regarding git (so a .zip or a git:// url can be provided)
• Use system_profiler to check if .apps get properly installed
