TODO NOW:
-- Make sure massmigrate cleanly ignores already migrated
- installs
-- Push su code to migrate, not mass-migrate (only do it
- as root, this serves as a safe guard)
-- Move migration code into Wizard, since we already deal
- with installation there anyway (this TODO has been updated
- accordingly)
-
-- Make parallel-find.pl use `sudo -u username git describe --tags`
- to determine version
-- Remove .scripts/version generation in install script
-- Make the installer use 'wizard install' /or/ do a migration
- after doing a normal install (the latter makes it easier
- for mass-rollbacks).
-
-- Better error message if daemon/scripts-security-upd
- is not on scripts-security-upd list
-
-- Fix retarded logging mechanism
- - This is interesting because the non-retarded way would be
- to have each subprocess send data through stdout, but
- this runs the risk of filling up the tubes. Maybe just
- create a log directory and give each process different
- files.
-
-- The great initial deploy:
- - Turn on mediawiki new autoinstaller
- - Migrate all mediawiki installs
+- Keep my sanity when upgrading 1000 installs
+ - Custom merge algo: absolute php.ini symlinks to relative symlinks (this
+ does not seem to have been a problem in practice)
+ - Custom merge algo: check if it's got extra \r's in the file,
+ and dos2unix it if it does, before performing the merge
+ - Prune -7 call errors and automatically reprocess them (with a
+ strike out counter of 3)--this requires better error parsing.
+ - IOError should be aggregated, right now contains custom string
+ that makes this not possible. Partition on a colon.
+ - Replace gaierror with a more descriptive name (this is a DNS error)
+ - Stronger skips means that backup failures should also be avoided
+ - Distinguish between types of backup failures
+ - Ignore empty blacklists; they should all have reasons
+ - wizard upgrade should have different exit codes for merge failure
+ and blacklist error
+
+- Distinguish from logging and reporting (so we can easily send mail
+ to users)
+ - Figure out a way of collecting blacklist data from .scripts/blacklisted
+ and aggregate it together
+
+- Let users use Wizard when ssh'ed into Scripts
+ - Make single user mass-migrate work when not logged in as root
+
+- 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).
+
+- Pre-emptively check if daemon/scripts-security-upd
+ is not on scripts-security-upd list (/mit/moira/bin/blanche)
- Redo Wordpress conversion, with an eye for automating everything
possible (such as downloading the tarball and unpacking)
-- Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
- output summary charts when I increase specificity
-
-Some other stuff to do in your copious free time:
-- Summary script should do something intelligent when distinguishing
- between old-style and new-style installs
-- Check how many autoinstalls are missing w bits for
- daemon.scripts (this would need pyafs)
-- Make scripts AFS patch advertise its existence so we can check for it.
- (This might be otherwise possible using `fs sysname`)
-- Make 'wizard summary' generate nice pretty graphs of installs by date
- (more histograms, will need to check actual .scripts-version files.)
-- It should be able to handle installs like Django where there's a component
- that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
- in Scripts.
+- Pay back code debt
+ - Genericize callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell
+ - Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
+ output summary charts when I increase specificity
+ - Summary script should do something intelligent when distinguishing
+ between old-style and new-style installs
+ - Report code in wizard/command/__init__.py is ugly as sin. Also,
+ the Report object should operate at a higher level of abstraction
+ 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
+ - Investigate QuotaParseErrors
+
+- Other stuff
+ - Don't use the scripts heuristics unless we're on scripts with the
+ AFS patch. Check with `fs sysname`
+ - Make 'wizard summary' generate nice pretty graphs of installs by date
+ (more histograms, will need to check actual .scripts-version files.)
+ - It should be able to handle installs like Django where there's a component
+ that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
+ in Scripts.
+ - ACLs is a starting point for sending mail to users, but it has
+ several failure modes:
+ - Old maintainers who don't care who are still on the ACL
+ - Private AFS groups that aren't mailing lists and that we
+ can't get to
+ A question is whether or not sending mail actually helps us:
+ many users will probably have to come back to us for help; many
+ other users won't care.
PULLING OUT CONFIGURATION FILES IN AN AUTOMATED MANNER

A mkdir .scripts
A echo "Deny from all" > .scripts/.htaccess
- The actual application's files, as from the official tarball
- - A .scripts directory, which contains the following information:
-
- * .scripts/.htaccess to prevent this directory from being accessed
- from the web.
-
- * .scripts/old-version (optional) the old value of .scripts-version,
- basically used for reverting an install to pre-migrated state.
-
- * .scripts/lock (generated) which locks the autoinstall during an upgrade
-
- * .scripts/version (deprecated)
+ - A .scripts directory, with the intent of holding Scripts specific files
+ if they become necessary.
+ * .scripts/lock (generated) which locks an autoinstall during upgrade
