This is an official request for server space to be used for the development of GLEP 15. This glep is still in alpha stages, yet with 3 (and a possible 4th) developer working on it, we need a central node for testing. Requirements: Python >= 2.3 MySQL dev-python/jonpy mod_fastcgi an XSLT implementation ssh access for each developer CVS access to gentoo/src/glsr ExecCGI for .py scripts index.py as a DirectoryIndex Future requirements: scripts.g.o subdomain scripts.g.o bugzilla component scripts@g.o alias All of this would be muchly appreciated.
We're kind of busy trying to get other things done, but when you're ready we can take a look at getting this implemented. So just be patient on our part :)
Why does each developer need ssh access to this box?
is this each developer of this project, or all developers of Gentoo, or anyone who wants to develope a script for scripts.gentoo.org?
Yes, just access for developers working on the glep. Just the 3 of us so far.
What kind of things will they be editing/etc. I just don't like the idea of giving access to every dev who needs to do something on that site. I'd prefer having two main people handling it, and maybe having some other method to update stuff on that site. Much like we do for the main website. Do you have a alpha of this site up somewhere?
ssh access is needed to alter the configuration of the site during development and sync the code with that from CVS. The site does have an administration area for use once it's ready. The ssh access is only needed during development for a few minor things, I am the only one who _needs_ ssh, but it's inconvenient for the others to bug me if they need something altering. The code is in CVS under gentoo/src/glsr.
Ok, that sounds reasonable. I was just concerned about have more than 3-4 people with shell accounts just to edit a few things. If it won't be needed after developement, I don't have a problem with that. Just be aware I'd like to keep access to a minimum if possible. I'll see about getting this setup this week sometime. When are you usually available? (UTC)
I'm not online at set times, though you'll be able to find me pretty easily. Anywhere from 4:00pm onwards is good.
Why not include the configuration file(s) in cvs? then we could simply sync from cvs as we do for www.g.o
They are and we will, but ssh access is still needed to test with different configuration options (without having to wait till the next sync) and manually sync with CVS.
You could use an ssh command to force a sync, and we could still minimize shell access that way.
Got the test site setup and working. Cheers!
