about How to use modules or themes not yet available on Drupal 11 with Composer
Add new comment
Let's face it, with the velocity of major version upgrades in Drupal having increased a lot since Drupal 9, many projects - both themes and modules - do not yet have releases for Drupal 11, or even Drupal 10 for some of them, although they may have automatic compatibility patches / issue forks ready to be committed for months. Alas, just because they do not declare Drupal 11 (or 10) compatibility in their
composer.json
(or they don't have one yet, looking at you
Bartik
),
composer require
with a
patches
clause won't work because Composer checks for compatibility without the patches. So how can we use all that perfectly ready code that doesn't have a correctly labeled release ?
about Avoid gettings your Gogs instance hacked after CVE-2024-39930
Add new comment
If you are using the Gogs git server and just apply updates automatically without Reading The Fine Manual, your server became vulnerable with the 0.13 releases, enabling vulnerabilities described by CVE-2024-39930, CVE-2024-39931, CVE-2024-39932, CVE-2024-39933. See how to fix it.
about Tip of the day: using Homebrew to get PHP Pear extensions behind a proxy
Add new comment
Most of the time, installing tools using Homebrew works flawlessly, including PHP these days. However, having to work in a client environment requiring a proxy, the PHP 8.1 post-install failed when updating Pear/Pecl channels, although the usual
http_proxy
and
https_proxy
were set and worked normally, including for the other Homebrew tasks. What could be going on ?

about Tip of the day: validating a Jenkinsfile from the CLI with HTTPie
Add new comment
While there are many examples about how to use it with cURL, I could not find any using HTTPie, which I find much more convenient in general than cURL. So, after some fumbling due to the little documented expectations of the validator, here is the solution showing how to validate a Jenkinsfile from the CLI:

about Tip of the day: running Flagr Docker image on a M1 mac
Add new comment
After almost one year with an Apple Silicon macBook, I eventually got my first actual problem caused by the architecture : trying to deploy the
Flagr
Open Source feature flags service, the docker deployment failed like with an image error. The fix turned out to be fairly simple:
about Parsing actual IANA language codes
Add new comment
While working on i18n in Go with the
x/text
package, I had to dive into the subtleties of language tags (RFC5646) and their filtering/lookup (RFC4647) and, would you believe it ? things are much less simple than we usually take them to be, even in a real-life i18n environment like Drupal 8/9/10.

about Tip of the day: patching legacy Drupal 7 projects with Composer
Add new comment
Some late Drupal 7 projects use Composer for project structure and tooling,
even though they don't use Composer for the Drupal requirements proper. In that
case, the normal Drupal 8/9 patching process using
cweagans/composer-patches
is not available, since dependencies are not handled with Composer. So is there
a way to apply patches cleanly from Composer ? Sure there is! Let's see how.
