1 - [SCRIPTS] MediaWiki 1.9.3 and 1.6.7
3 - Plugin-ify! Hook-ify! In more detail, applications should all be moved
4 out into plugins, scripts specific behavior should be moved into
5 plugins, and hooks need to be made available so that we can exert
6 the correct level of control.
8 - [SCRIPTS] Wordpress needs to get rid of the siteurl hack, so that it
9 actually has a fully-qualified URL http://foo.scripts.mit.edu/blah.
10 This will also fix Wordpress's cron functionality. We should be
11 careful not to write over users who are on vhosts. We should figure
12 out who is still on twiddle paths. We should make sure the redirect
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 - [SCRIPTS] If you try to do an install on scripts w/o sql, it will sign
25 you up but fail to write the sql.cnf file. This sucks.
27 - [SCRIPTS] Web application for installing autoinstalls has a hard
28 problem with credentials (as well as installations that are not
29 conducted on an Athena machine.) We have some crazy ideas involving a
30 signed Java applet that uses jsch to SSH into athena.dialup and
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 - Add support for mypristine workflow
41 - Figure out why Sphinx sometimes fails to crossref :func: but wil
42 crossref :meth:, even though the dest is very clearly a function.
43 Example: :func:`wizard.app.php.re_var`
44 - The TODO extension for Sphinx doesn't properly force a full-rebuild
45 - Make single user mass-migrate work when not logged in as root. The
46 primary difficulty is making the parallel-find information easily
47 accessible to individual users: perhaps we can do a single-user
48 parallel-find on the fly.
49 - Don't use the scripts heuristics unless we're on scripts with the
50 AFS patch. Check with `fs sysname`
51 - Make 'wizard summary' generate nice pretty graphs of installs by date
52 (more histograms, will need to check actual .scripts-version files.)
53 - It should be able to handle installs like Django where there's a component
54 that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
57 - [SCRIPTS] ACLs is a starting point for sending mail to users, but it
58 has several failure modes:
59 - Old maintainers who don't care who are still on the ACL
60 - Private AFS groups that aren't mailing lists and that we can't get
61 to 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.

84 * Some parts of the infrastructure will not be touched, although I plan
85 on documenting them. Specifically, we will be keeping:
87 - get-homedirs.sh. which needs to be run as root on scripts. Store
88 in /mit/scripts/sec-tools/store/scriptslist
90 - parallel-find.pl, and the resulting
91 /mit/scripts/sec-tools/store/versions
93 [ XXX: doc/deploy.rst ]
94 GET APPROVAL BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER;
95 THIS IS PUSHING THE CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC
97 NOTE: The following commands are to be run on not-backward.mit.edu.
98 You'll need to add daemon.scripts-security-upd to
99 scripts-security-upd to get bits to do this. Make sure you remove
100 these bits when you're done.
102 10. Run `wizard research appname`
103 which uses Git commands to check how many
104 working copies apply the change cleanly, and writes out a logfile
105 with the working copies that don't apply cleanly. It also tells
106 us about "corrupt" working copies, i.e. working copies that
107 have over a certain threshold of changes.
109 11. Run `wizard mass-upgrade appname`, which applies the update to all working
112 12. Run parallel-find.pl to update our inventory
114 [ XXX: doc/metadata.rst ]
115 * The repository for a given application will contain the following files:
117 - The actual application's files, as from the official tarball
119 - A .scripts directory, with the intent of holding Scripts specific files
120 if they become necessary.
122 - .scripts/dsn, overriding database source name
