TODO NOW:
+- --retry option for install, so it won't complain about a directory already
+ being there.
+- The calling web code invocations are a mess, with stubs living
+ in the install, deploy modules and the real deal living in util. Furthermore,
+ we use the scripts-specific heuristic to determine where the app
+ lives, and the only reason my test scripts work is because they
+ get manually fed the domain and path by my environment variables.
+
+ We will record the URL used for the initial installation, and save it in
+ .scripts/url. If autodetection in either direction is
+ available, we verify this value against the actual file path the installation
+ lives in (for the scripts case, we can do a file-level comparison because we
+ know the web root of any given file). If they mismatch, we error out
+ and have someone manually resolve the problem. If autodetection is not
+ available, we use the saved .scripts/url for operations.
+
+- wizard install wordpress should ask for password
+- Test code should auto-nuke the database using `wizard remove` before doing a new install
+- git diff :1:$file :2:$file to find out what the user did, or is it :3:?
+- Document how to fix a broken upgrade
+- php.ini needs to get substituted!
+- Make wizard install accept appname-head (so that you can do a test with
+ head, and do things without tags). Also make it accept commit hashes.
+ In fact, let it accept any committish. Figure out what to do if we
+ do a test script with x.y.z when we REALLY mean x.y.z-scripts. XXX!!!
- Do early validation of inputs for configuration
- Let 'wizard configure' be interactive
- Parse output HTML for class="error" and give those errors back to the user,
then boot them back into configure
-- Indicate a default is available in the --help message.
+- Get rid of our custom sizing code and use dialog's built-in sizing (i.e. width=0, height=0).
+ Maybe our sizing code is superior, maybe not.
-- Keep my sanity when upgrading 1000 installs
- - Replace gaierror with a more descriptive name (this is a DNS error)
-
-- Make the rest of the world use Wizard
- - Make parallel-find.pl use `sudo -u username git describe --tags`
- to determine version. Make parallel-find.pl have this have greater
- precedence. This also means, however, that we get
- full mediawiki-1.2.3-2-abcdef names (Have patch, pending testing and commit)
- - Make deployed installer use 'wizard install' /or/ do a migration
- after doing a normal install (the latter makes it easier
- for mass-rollbacks).
+- Replace gaierror with a more descriptive name (this is a DNS error)
- Pre-emptively check if daemon/scripts-security-upd
is not on scripts-security-upd list (/mit/moira/bin/blanche)
so we don't have to manually increment fails. (in fact, that should
probably be called something different). The by-percent errors should
also be automated.
- - Indents in upgrade.py are getting pretty ridiculous; more breaking
- into functions is probably a good idea
- Move resolutions in mediawiki.py to a text file? (the parsing overhead
may not be worth it)
- - Investigate QuotaParseErrors
- If a process is C-ced, it can result in a upgrade that has
an updated filesystem but not updated database. Make this more
resilient
- PHP end of file allows omitted semicolon, can result in parse error
- if merge resolutions aren't careful.
+ if merge resolutions aren't careful. `php -l` can be a quick stopgap
- Other stuff
+ - Figure out why Sphinx sometimes fails to crossref :func: but wil
+ crossref :meth:, even though the dest is very clearly a function.
+ Example: :func:`wizard.app.php.re_var`
+ - The TODO extension for Sphinx doesn't properly force a full-rebuild
+ - Code annotation!
- Make single user mass-migrate work when not logged in as root
- Don't use the scripts heuristics unless we're on scripts with the
AFS patch. Check with `fs sysname`
0. ssh into not-backward, temporarily give the daemon.scripts-security-upd
bits by blanching it on system:scripts-security-upd, and run parallel-find.pl
- 1. Have the Git repository and working copy for the project on hand.
-
- 2. Checkout the pristine branch
-
- 3. Run wizard `prepare-pristine APP-VERSION`
-
- 4. Checkout the master branch
-
- 5. [FOR EXISTING REPOSITORIES]
- Merge the pristine branch in. Resolve any conflicts that our
- patches have with new changes. Do NOT let Git auto-commit it
- with --no-commit (otherwise, you want to git commit --amend
- to keep our history clean
-
- [FOR NEW REPOSITORIES]
- Check if any patches are needed to make the application work
- on Scripts (ideally, it shouldn't.) Run
- `wizard prepare-new` to setup common filesets for our repositories.
-
- If you are running a PHP script, there is usually a php.ini file
- that we package. You can see previous instances of this patch
- at /mit/scripts/deploy/php.ini/ as well as in the repositories
- of any already migrated scripts. We hope to make these changes
- unnecessary once PHP 5.3 arrives.
+ 1. [ see doc/upgrade.rst ]
- 6. Check if there are any special update procedures, and update
- the wizard.app.APPNAME module accordingly (or create it, if
- need be).
+ [ENTER HERE FROM CREATING A NEW REPO]
- 7. Run 'wizard prepare-config' on a scripts server while in a checkout
- of this newest version. This will prepare a new version of the
- configuration file based on the application's latest installer.
- Manually merge back in any custom changes we may have made.
- Check if any of the regular expressions need tweaking by inspecting
- the configuration files for user-specific gunk, and modify
- wizard.app.APPNAME accordingly.
+ 9. Push all of your changes in a public place, and encourage others
+ to test, using --srv-path and a full path.
- 8. Commit your changes, and tag as v1.2.3-scripts (or scripts2, if
- you are amending an install without an upstream changes)
-
- NOTE: These steps should be run on a scripts server
-
- 9. Test the new update procedure using our test scripts. See integration
- tests for more information on how to do this.

* For mass importing into the repository, there are a few extra things:

- apply them, so later merges work better.
-
- # the following operation might require -p1

You could also just try your luck with a manual merge using the patch
