I read the article below and would like to try scribble in Ruby but the only source i can find is on svn which i don't have or use.
Here is the link
http://nex-3.com/posts/3-scribble
Is this a gem and how can i install it ? Does it run on Ruby193/Windows7 ?
Please share your experience.
The page you linked says:
You can download and run Scribble right now from it’s Subversiony home. This home is currently on Hampton Catlin’s server, because mine doesn’t support Subversion.
svn co svn://hamptoncatlin.com/scribble/trunk scribble
To run it, just run the bin/scribble file. It requires Ruby, of course, as well as the latest Ruby GTK+ bindings and Ruby Cairo bindings (and of course GTK and Cairo themselves). Note that this won’t work with the latest RubyGems – you actually need to compile the latest development versions of these yourself. If you’ve got all of those, it should be able to run on OSX, Linux, and Windows.
Unfortunately, though, the SVN server seems to have disappeared sometime around 2010. There seems to be a fork of the code at https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/scribble/trunk , but i haven't even looked at the code, much less tried to use it. You'll likely need a Bazaar client (bzr) to get it...at which point the rest of the instructions would apply.

The title pretty much sums what I am looking for - will consider commercial solutions as well. Far from versed in the whole OS X "ecosystem" - therefore, any "tips" on this subject, appreciated.
Cross-platform compatibility not a requirement.
Thank you.
The old way was to use Apple's PackageMaker app. It's been deprecated in Xcode 5 however. You can still find it on Apple's Developer site -- I believe it's included in the Auxiliary Tools package (more info). Personally, I still use it for production releases. Yes, it's scriptable.
The new way is to use pkgbuild, productbuild, and the other tools included in Xcode 5. More info here:

For designing the MEAN stack application, I am creating separate modules( angularjs,expressjs,nodejs,mongodb) and i am linking them manually. Can you please suggest me an IDE available for directly designing MEAN stack application.
These topics on Stack Overflow usually get flagged as contentious or something after a while. However I thought I would share my own experience of using JavaScript IDEs under Windows.
I was using PyCharm, however my dev box is ageing a bit and PyCharm is too heavy for it. Besides, as the name implies, it's really for Python, in fact I started using it for Django.
If I could afford WebStorm and a box to run it on, I'd definitely check that out :)
I fell back on the default at my workplace, Notepad++. However the linter add-on is a bit clunky, and it has real difficulty rendering JavaScript in HTML.
For now I am satisfied with my recent discovery of brackets.io. It does have an early days feel to it, but I find it's code completion particularly useful, and once I got an add-on to use JSHint instead of JSLint it chimes very well with the meanjs code I'm learning from. Meanjs uses swig templating, which parses as straight HTML so there's no problem there, but if you're wedded to a particular template module then you should look for an IDE that supports it, either directly or via add-ons. Brackets.io seems to have quite a lively add-on community at the moment.

Does anyone know an easy to use application that creates exe setup installation package for any windows program? InstallJammer looks a good candidate but its development is discontinued and it does not create a desktop icon although I configured it to do so (probably a bug - googling did not help much). Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks.
All a question of how complicated you want to get. If you just need something quick to install a handful of files, I would recommend NSIS. If you need something with a bit more power and flexibility I'd go with WiX, which emits Windows Installer MSI packages.
Both of these a script\text based, so you can see what you are doing, and don't have any license fees.
I second the recommendation for NSIS. It will do everything you need, works with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Is compatible with 64-bit and handles user privileges and short-cuts.
It is all I use for all of my installers and patches and some of them are quite complex, it is also free and open-source.
Download the main framework at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download and then I would also recommend using the HM-NSIS editor for writing your scripts http://hmne.sourceforge.net/

I'm looking for a nice software to store tickets information locally. It should work only on my laptop under Linux, and be easily installed. The core features that I need:
storing tickets
allows to create additional documentation
don't take too much ram
very easy installation (I don't have whole days for configuring)
multiproject
You can try Project Kaiser
I use redmine and it's fantastic for all of the above. It's browser based so you'd need to install and configure it but it's not hard and well worth the effort.
Redmine is quick efficient and it's the best tool of its kind that I've ever found and I've looked tried many.
I know little about ruby/rails and it took me a few hours to install from clean using the guides.
How about a TidliDu http://www.giffmex.org/tiddlydu2.html. You can't make it easier to install. Create a new one for each project.
OpenOffice spreadsheet?

I really like the Brotherbard GitX fork; is there something along the same lines for hg?
Sourcetree has a good clean GUI and supports Mercurial and Git and it's free.
MacHg is a fairly full OSX client:
It is a native OSX GUI client for Mercurial. It is modern and fully multi-threaded using Grand Central Dispatch and threading goodness. It has a clean interface and allows multiple repositories per document, using a standard mac sidebar interface. It incrementally loads data so its very fast. Ie it easily handles browsing the mozilla repository which is 3.35Gb. MacHg is fully featured handling all standard Mercurial commands, and additionally provides history editing features through the Mercurial rebase, strip, collapse, and histedit extensions.
Murky is about it, but it's nowhere near as mature as GitX.
TortoiseHg is an OK GUI. OSX port is reported as "in progress."
I use Murky. There are two things to note:
When you enter the repository url use this pattern: https://username:password#domain.com. That's the only place where you can enter your username and password.
There are some things you can't do through the GUI (I think merge is one of them), in which case you can launch the terminal from the app and use the command line. You'll then see any changes update in the GUI.
