Description Fernando (likewhoa) 2011-06-16 09:48:45 UTC

We would like to use the drupal.org CMS to drive this years and possibly future screenshot contest events. The will be setup for register or anonymous users submissions and allow everyone else to quickly search the entries and make comments for a social networking experience.





Reproducible: Always

Err, we already said that we weren't going to give out foo.gentoo.org DNS entries for machines that were not controlled by either Gentoo Infrastructure or in very specific case, Gentoo e.V.

We asked for your requirements so that we could install Drupal on a Gentoo machine for you, but haven't heard back.

Comment 2 Fernando (likewhoa) 2011-06-17 06:11:12 UTC

Sorry about that Robin, I didn't know about the requirements request only what tampakrap mentioned regarding hosting the CMS on an infra server, so I when ahead and created the site which is currently hosted at http://sc.gentooligans.com running dev-lang/php-5.3.6-r1 and dev-db/mysql-5.1 but mariadb would also work. 

The only requirements for php is "pdo unicode gd gmp" the rest are just optional and probably defaults.

If you need anything else let me know.

Again, we won't give you access to deploy it in gentoo infra, since we use cfengine for those things. I told you to open a bug with requirements for the contest.g.o website mostly, and get the green light from Robin.
From what I understand, you need drupal and a gallery plugin.
@infra:
since I'm familiar with drupal, I could maintain it as well (it is easier than wordpress). Waiting for more info from Fernando and infra's approvalto proceed.
