Trouble installing Rabbit VCS for nautilus

Question

I have Many-to-Many associated entities information with me.

I would like to show the user the list of "students" and if user chooses an student, show his teachers.

Conversely, user may opt to see list of teachers and he/she can select a teacher to see all the students that teacher is teaching.

I am looking to have a java collection class (java built in or 3rd party) to represent such data so that I can query for teachers based on student or vice versa.

Bidi map comes quite close but it enforces 1:1 relationship. I have many to many relationship.

Any clues?

Solution 1

If you've used the PPA (ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa) and want to install the version that supports GNOME3/Nautilus 3, install "rabbitvcs-nautilus3" instead of "rabbitvcs-nautilus".

Well, that fixes the installation issues. However, for me it still doesn't show up on right click.

Edit: after upgrading to the latest Nautilus from the Ubuntu 11.10 proposed repository, the right click menu finally works!

Solution 2

The error message is telling you that the packages in the repositories are newer then what RabbitVCS requires, i.e. it can't work with the new Nautilus from Gnome 3

UPDATE: Actually, if you have a look at RabbitVCS site, you'll see that release 0.15 adds support for Nautilus 3.0 - however, the version in Ubuntu repositories is 0.13

The site also contains instructions on how to install the recent version from a tarball.

Solution 3

Run the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-nautilus3 rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli

BiMap is same as BidiMap... It provides 1:1 association.

True... It would suffice and this is what I have done currently. But.. It means, now, I have 2 collections and... worse.. the information is repeating.. studentsToTeachers will have info about teachers as well as in teachersToStudents.

I see, have you considered trying composition of objects.. such as Teacher contains List<Student> and Student contains List<Teacher> as the object model.

Yes I am using Ubuntu 11.10. So there's no way I can get Rabbit-VCS to install on 11.10 ? :O And I don't mind installing an older version of Nautilus or GNOME for that matter (Pardon me for my ignorance if those are impossible to do) if I can get this to work. I am so much used to tortoise-svn in Windows and I've being told that Rabbit-SVN shares so much in similar with tortoise-svn.

I've updated my answer. Also, I can't resist mentioning that many people are perfectly comfortable with command-line VCS clients, so you just might give it a try :)

I am keeping command-line VCS as my last resort :D Sorry but I was spoilt by Windows!

hey Andrew, after you've checked the pre-released proposed updates you had to do something else also ? I checked the updates available but I don't see anything related to nautilus. thanks.

nevermind, it showed up after a restart, the only thing is that the icons are not visible under the default ambiance theme :)

You an get the icons to show up in the menu by using GNOME Tweak Tool, on the Themes tab, enable "Menus have icons" and "Buttons have icons".
