1 - [SCRIPTS] MediaWiki 1.9.3 and 1.6.7
3 - .scripts/.wizard are kind of ugly when they're not added to the
6 - util.fetch() should use urllib under the hood, not httplib. Code
7 has to be changed. We should log if we get redirected.
8 - Be a little more intelligent when perform web checks; for example,
9 if we get a forbidden message, that probably means we go the right
10 address but it's blocked off; if we get a 404 message, that probably
11 means wrong address. Account Unknown is something particularly good
13 - Wordpress module can do something intelligent if we get redirected
14 to the installation page.
15 - The need to run egg_info can make things a little fragile when pulling
16 if you forget. How can we make this less easily forgotten?
17 - wizardResolve* files seem to get left in tmp en-mass, and we don't
20 - Plugin-ify! Hook-ify! In more detail, applications should all be moved
21 out into plugins, scripts specific behavior should be moved into
22 plugins, and hooks need to be made available so that we can exert
23 the correct level of control.
25 - [SCRIPTS] Wordpress needs to get rid of the siteurl hack, so that it
26 actually has a fully-qualified URL http://foo.scripts.mit.edu/blah.
27 This will also fix Wordpress's cron functionality. We should be
28 careful not to write over users who are on vhosts. We should figure
29 out who is still on twiddle paths. We should make sure the redirect
32 - Remerges aren't reflected in the parent files, so `git diff` output is
33 spurious. Not sure how to fix this w/o tree hackery.
34 - Sometimes users remove files. Well, if those files change, they automatically
35 get marked as conflicted. Maybe we should say for certain files "if they're
36 gone, they're gone forever"? What is the proper resolution?
38 - Parse output HTML for class="error" and give those errors back to the user (done),
39 then boot them back into configure so they can enter in something different
41 - [SCRIPTS] If you try to do an install on scripts w/o sql, it will sign
42 you up but fail to write the sql.cnf file. This sucks.
44 - [SCRIPTS] Web application for installing autoinstalls has a hard
45 problem with credentials (as well as installations that are not
46 conducted on an Athena machine.) We have some crazy ideas involving a
47 signed Java applet that uses jsch to SSH into athena.dialup and
51 - Tidy up common code in callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell;
52 namely cooking up the sudo and environment variable lines
53 - Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
54 output summary charts when I increase specificity
57 - Add support for mypristine workflow
58 - Figure out why Sphinx sometimes fails to crossref :func: but wil
59 crossref :meth:, even though the dest is very clearly a function.
60 Example: :func:`wizard.app.php.re_var`
61 - The TODO extension for Sphinx doesn't properly force a full-rebuild
62 - Make single user mass-migrate work when not logged in as root. The
63 primary difficulty is making the parallel-find information easily
64 accessible to individual users: perhaps we can do a single-user
65 parallel-find on the fly.
66 - Don't use the scripts heuristics unless we're on scripts with the
67 AFS patch. Check with `fs sysname`
68 - Make 'wizard summary' generate nice pretty graphs of installs by date
69 (more histograms, will need to check actual .scripts-version files.)
70 - It should be able to handle installs like Django where there's a component
71 that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
74 - [SCRIPTS] ACLs is a starting point for sending mail to users, but it
75 has several failure modes:
76 - Old maintainers who don't care who are still on the ACL
77 - Private AFS groups that aren't mailing lists and that we can't get
78 to A question is whether or not sending mail actually helps us:
79 many users will probably have to come back to us for help; many
80 other users won't care.
81 - Whatever happens here should be used to improve user.email()

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