Description

« Hide

List of 'extra' things I think we need:

  - a script that runs for every check in and posts to a "Moodle commits" mailing list
  - a script like cvs_acls so that I can restrict/allow access to different directories
  - a script that runs for every tagging operation and restricts/allow them
  - all the usernames (as practical) should be same as the ones on Sourceforge
  - the server should allow users to upload a public key for easy ssh access
  - viewcvs web interface that reflects current status of repository
  - rsync access for at least one account, so that we can mirror to anon.cvs.moodle.org

Excellent catch! I had done a reverse lookup, but never made the connection between Forona and Ohloh. These guys should have an rsync update and run cvsps (or whatever it is they use) locally.

Started some work on Eduforge yesterday but wasn't very productive. Will keep ppl posted...

On eduforge.org

we have an up-to-date mirror of SF, including CVSROOT.
it's not visible to mere mortals just yet, but the final destination directory is - http://eduforge.org/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/?cvsroot=moodle
It's not literally viewcvs - but it's a fully functional script from the FreeBSD project
Eduforge.org allows ssh key upload since day 1... or maybe day 2.

TODO general Moodle dev

get an acct on eduforge, with mathcing username. Ping us if there's a problem w that

TODO on eduforge team side

block CVSROOT from being shown via CVSweb
check that cvs_acls works properly
check that syncmail or equivalent works proper
check that tag-mess-prevention script works proper (is there one already? where???)
rsync daemon setup – can be done for several mirrors, but we'll want to whitelist them explicitly

On switch-over day we

move the repo to /gforge-chroot/cvsroot/moodle
fix up ownership to the right uid/gid
kill rsync cronjob from SF.net
re-test all those scripts

NOTE: our current mirroring instructions forget to mention --delete – updating the wiki now...

Updating from skype discussion

check that tag rstriction script works (it's in CVSROOT)

plus the other TODOs mentioned above. Roll up sleeves, get in motion...

Everything should be complete and working on the new server, except for a friendly web-based account-application and approval process which Mat will be working on.
