Subversion: Determine the highest revision number in the working copy

This seems to do the trick when run in a terminal from the top level of the working copy:

svn info -R  | grep Revision | sed "s/Revision: //g" | sort -n | tail -1

Or, you could just use the svnversion command.

Handy Script for Installing an instance of PHP4 in CGI Mode

I’m working with some old code that needs to run PHP4… on my desktop machine I was able to throw it into MAMP and just check the PHP4 option, but our dev environment on Dreamhost is PHP5-only… that is to say, you don’t get to choose PHP4 or PHP5 when setting up a new host.

However, the DreamHost wiki has a pretty slick shell script that will download & compile PHP4 as a CGI executable… and with a little tweaking to some of the install paths there’s no reason this shouldn’t work for pretty much any environment:
