5 - If no newlines at all, DON'T CARE (don't rewrite the file again!)
8 - Add support for mypristine workflow
9 - Wordpress needs to get rid of the siteurl hack, so that it actually
10 has a fully-qualified URL http://foo.scripts.mit.edu/blah. This will
11 also fix Wordpress's cron functionality. We should be careful not
12 to write over users who are on vhosts. We should figure out who is
13 still on twiddle paths. We should make sure the redirect is handled
16 - Remerges aren't reflected in the parent files, so `git diff` output is
17 spurious. Not sure how to fix this w/o tree hackery.
18 - Sometimes users remove files. Well, if those files change, they automatically
19 get marked as conflicted. Maybe we should say for certain files "if they're
20 gone, they're gone forever"? What is the proper resolution?
22 - Parse output HTML for class="error" and give those errors back to the user (done),
23 then boot them back into configure so they can enter in something different
25 - If you try to do an install on scripts w/o sql, it will sign you up but fail to write
26 the sql.cnf file. This sucks.
28 - Web application for installing autoinstalls has a hard problem
29 with credentials (as well as installations that are not conducted
30 on an Athena machine.) We have some crazy ideas involving a signed
31 Java applet that uses jsch to SSH into athena.dialup and perform
35 - Tidy up common code in callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell;
36 namely cooking up the sudo and environment variable lines
37 - Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
38 output summary charts when I increase specificity
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 - ACLs is a starting point for sending mail to users, but it has
58 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
62 A question is whether or not sending mail actually helps us:
63 many users will probably have to come back to us for help; many
64 other users won't care.

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