During work, every time when I want to create a new sub-project (which has similar folder structure with existing one) I need to create the folder one by one. I cannot just copy-paste the sub-project1 folder and renamed it to sub-project2 because it contains hidden .svn which is used to track the version of sub-project1.

project
- sub-proj1
- - src
- - - - main
- - - - - - java
- - - - - - resource
- - - - - - webapp
- - - - - test
- sub-proj2
- - - - main
- - - - - - java
- - - - - - resource
- - - - - - webapp
- - - - - test

So… how do I get rid of hidden .svn folder/files when copying from sub-project1 to a new sub-project?

rsync -r --exclude=.svn SRC_FOLDER DESTINATION FOLDER

example:

rsync -r --exclude=.svn /root/project/sub-proj1/ /root/project/sub-proj2/

Hope this would help!

One of my favorite gadgets: Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) is just launched in United Kingdom after it retailed in United States and Asia.

Although PSP is half a year delay in United Kingdom, they still managed to sell 185,000 units in first 4 days according to UK market analysts Chart-Track. As compare to previous record holder, Nintendo DS which had sold 87,000 units on its launch weekend, PSP has sold more than double the sales of Nintendo DS.

Other than PSP console, softwares of PSP are also strongly sold. 20 out of 24 games that currently available in UK were entering into the All Format Top 40 and 9 games break into the Top 10. From the launch, Namco’s Ridge Racer PSP game being the number one seller.

Sony has said that it hopes to sell 1 million PSP units in Europe before Christmas.

Due to PSP’s capability, there are great number of consumers would like to own a PSP, count me in as well. Hope i can grab this devices in future.

It is good to have such system for home entertainment enthusiast. It does not need any extra knowledges of computing to use the system as it is targeting for home user and mainly for entertainment purpose only.

As the growth of the technology, i believe users will find it easy with the invention of Intel & Philips when the home entertainment system is released. Hopefully we can have a reasonable price of such system.
