7 - Add support for mypristine workflow
8 - Wordpress needs to get rid of the siteurl hack, so that it actually
9 has a fully-qualified URL http://foo.scripts.mit.edu/blah. This will
10 also fix Wordpress's cron functionality. We should be careful not
11 to write over users who are on vhosts. We should figure out who is
12 still on twiddle paths. We should make sure the redirect is handled
15 - Remerges aren't reflected in the parent files, so `git diff` output is
16 spurious. Not sure how to fix this w/o tree hackery.
17 - Sometimes users remove files. Well, if those files change, they automatically
18 get marked as conflicted. Maybe we should say for certain files "if they're
19 gone, they're gone forever"? What is the proper resolution?
21 - Parse output HTML for class="error" and give those errors back to the user (done),
22 then boot them back into configure so they can enter in something different
24 - If you try to do an install on scripts w/o sql, it will sign you up but fail to write
25 the sql.cnf file. This sucks.
27 - Web application for installing autoinstalls has a hard problem
28 with credentials (as well as installations that are not conducted
29 on an Athena machine.) We have some crazy ideas involving a signed
30 Java applet that uses jsch to SSH into athena.dialup and perform
34 - Tidy up common code in callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell;
35 namely cooking up the sudo and environment variable lines
36 - Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
37 output summary charts when I increase specificity
40 - Figure out why Sphinx sometimes fails to crossref :func: but wil
41 crossref :meth:, even though the dest is very clearly a function.
42 Example: :func:`wizard.app.php.re_var`
43 - The TODO extension for Sphinx doesn't properly force a full-rebuild
44 - Make single user mass-migrate work when not logged in as root. The
45 primary difficulty is making the parallel-find information easily
46 accessible to individual users: perhaps we can do a single-user
47 parallel-find on the fly.
48 - Don't use the scripts heuristics unless we're on scripts with the
49 AFS patch. Check with `fs sysname`
50 - Make 'wizard summary' generate nice pretty graphs of installs by date
51 (more histograms, will need to check actual .scripts-version files.)
52 - It should be able to handle installs like Django where there's a component
53 that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
56 - ACLs is a starting point for sending mail to users, but it has
57 several failure modes:
58 - Old maintainers who don't care who are still on the ACL
59 - Private AFS groups that aren't mailing lists and that we
61 A question is whether or not sending mail actually helps us:
62 many users will probably have to come back to us for help; many
63 other users won't care.

85 - It is not required nor expected for update scripts to exist for all
86 intervening versions that were present pre-migration; only for it
87 to work on the most recent migration.
91 - Currently all repositories are initialized with --shared, which
92 means they have basically ~no space footprint. However, it
93 also means that /mit/scripts/wizard/srv MUST NOT lose revs after
99 * Some parts of the infrastructure will not be touched, although I plan
100 on documenting them. Specifically, we will be keeping:
102 - get-homedirs.sh. which needs to be run as root on scripts. Store
103 in /mit/scripts/sec-tools/store/scriptslist
105 - parallel-find.pl, and the resulting
106 /mit/scripts/sec-tools/store/versions
108 [ XXX: doc/deploy.rst ]
109 GET APPROVAL BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER;
110 THIS IS PUSHING THE CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC
112 NOTE: The following commands are to be run on not-backward.mit.edu.
113 You'll need to add daemon.scripts-security-upd to
114 scripts-security-upd to get bits to do this. Make sure you remove
115 these bits when you're done.
117 10. Run `wizard research appname`
118 which uses Git commands to check how many
119 working copies apply the change cleanly, and writes out a logfile
120 with the working copies that don't apply cleanly. It also tells
121 us about "corrupt" working copies, i.e. working copies that
122 have over a certain threshold of changes.
124 11. Run `wizard mass-upgrade appname`, which applies the update to all working
127 12. Run parallel-find.pl to update our inventory
129 [ XXX: doc/layout.rst ]
130 * The repository for a given application will contain the following files:
132 - The actual application's files, as from the official tarball
134 - A .scripts directory, with the intent of holding Scripts specific files
135 if they become necessary.
137 - .scripts/dsn, overriding database source name
