Version numbers matter! Using a consistent version numbering throughout your project's life matters, too. Changing project name is a high price to pay for cleaning up version errors.
So there's some good news! The Python community's PEP-440 specifies how to use versions.
Here are some examples of versions that abide PEP-440, they are in order!!

Each time you import photos, Shotwell will generate thumbnails in two different sizes. If you loose them, you have the problem that they are regenerated on-demand, everytime you scroll by an image. That stinks.
You need to do apt-get install sqlite3 imagemagick to fetch requirements.

I've badly been looking for a way to both run an internal network server on eth0 and connecting to any kind of internet device, be it on wlan0 or a USB dongle.
That way, I can be online and browsing documentation, downloading new stuff etc. on the server but not depend on a static configuration but still use Network Manager for its intended purpose.
In /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf ...
I have been trying to get an automated network install running. The starting point is a Kickstart (Kickseed) setup that works fine on LAN. Problem is: Computers do not do PXE netbooting from WLAN, and secondly that the debian installer was not configuring the network correctly. But the steps are very simple.
This script uses iptable forwarding and dnsmasq to share an internet connection with full relay of remote DNS servers and a local DHCP server. Before trying the script, here is the over all steps:

It's free, open source, and I hope people will make it better on github.
In case you need a quick way of getting rid of spammers on your apache server, use this method as a temporary solution until you find a better one.
Please take not that it will evaluate EVERY SINGLE REQUEST through a Deny policy in Apache's mod_access - it does not halt your performance much if you're just running a site with few requests. But I only suggest this solution ...
THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH APACHE SINCE IT DOES NOT USE /etc/hosts.deny - See this post instead
Use the following Python script to maintain a file in the hosts.deny syntax so that your Debian/Ubuntu box (or other Linux server) is kept undisturbed by forum spammers -- COMPLETELY undisturbed, as the spammer is disallowed all access to the system.
1. Copy the script to a file on your server ...

If you are trying to disable an Upstart script (something that can be started/stopped with "sudo start/stop service-name") , you should really use the method described by Luis Alvarado on AskUbuntu. Please use this to avoid editing scripts that are actually maintained in your repository.
But all of this is great for temporarily working with the service. How about a way to ...
