-The Git Autoinstaller
-
-TODO NOW:
-
-- MediaWiki 1.9.3 and 1.6.7
-
-- If no newlines at all, DON'T CARE (don't rewrite the file again!)
-- Plugin-ify!
-- Check for improper use of os.exists() when os.lexists() was meant
-
-- Add support for mypristine workflow
-- Wordpress needs to get rid of the siteurl hack, so that it actually
- has a fully-qualified URL http://foo.scripts.mit.edu/blah. This will
- also fix Wordpress's cron functionality. We should be careful not
- to write over users who are on vhosts. We should figure out who is
- still on twiddle paths. We should make sure the redirect is handled
- correctly.
+- Make scripts_plugin email heuristic less stupid, or maybe even ask for an
+ email. This is tracked as Scripts #224 (this issue) and Scripts #193
+ (tracking a contact address).
+- Current parallelization probably does a bad job distributing
+ working tasks over different components of the pipeline. Fix
+ this by adding jitter? Trying to smear things out?
+
+- Test head doesn't do quite the right thing with version numbers
+ (shouldn't git describe, instead should give a version infinitely
+ in the future.)
+- Strategy introspection and disabling.
+- prepare-config (and others) create .wizard dir even
+ when not strictly necessary
+- Bug out immediately if tags are not present in the master tip
+ of the repository
+- pending doesn't seem to get written out properly sometimes (or
+ it's being deleted); this makes it hard to --continue on the
+ event of an upgrade failure. Also, we seem to bounce back to
+ the production copy to check pending even when we run --continue
+ from the working dir.
+- Newline checks are /really really/ expensive on AFS; see if
+ we can minimize them or something. Right now, we're testing
+ a fix where we don't clone with --shared.
+- Replace .split("\n") with .splitlines()
+
+- Need to fix existing repo history? (not adding extra commits;
+ that'll be more difficult)
+
+ git rebase -i -p --root --onto COMMITID
+
+ This won't work if you need to change the very root of the
+ repository. You'll probably end up with conflicts and have
+ to manually resolve everything afterwards.
+
+ But usually you won't need --root --onto unless you really
+ fucked up the pristine branch. If you just need to change
+ the scripts spine,
+
+ git rebase -i -p COMMITID
+
+ should work.
+
+- [SCRIPTS] MediaWiki 1.6.7, 1.9.3 and 1.10.0
+
+- geofft comments:
+ "Connection to scripts.mit.edu closed" is confusing (tracked #393)
+ the URL should be easier to copy and paste, which means we should
+ move it out of dialog
+ We should ... upgrade our autoinstaller
+ Apparently installing WordPress updates or themes never indicates
+ completion, and just says "Downloading..", and you have to guess
+ when it's done
+
+- [SCRIPTS] phpBB
+ - phpBB or phpbb? (right now it's the former)
+ - need an upgrade story; srv needs more versions
+ - need a story about install/ contrib/
+
+- Give users a "certificate" of their merge, which they can
+ use to reuse that merge commit if something unrelated fails.
+
+- Human readable quota output
+- Nice error message on --continue if you forgot to git add your
+ resolved file (look for conflict markers)
+- The merge interface is a kind of major UI disaster; you won't
+ be able to use it unless you know how Git works. Also, the
+ merges can be quite difficult to resolve if upstream has made
+ large formatting changes like reindenting. We may also consider
+ providing a --rebase option, which seems to do better when
+ big problems like this show up.
+
+- Better mass-* support for just one user (this includes letting
+ a user mass upgrade just his own autoinstalls)
+
+- Show progress or something when upgrading
+- Allow 'sticky notes' for future upgraders to notice
+- .wizard/url semantics are subtly wrong: in particular, if we
+ explicitly configure a URL at install, we should be able to
+ detect this URL as baked in from the configuration
+
+- Rerere support doesn't actually work
+- "Version 3.0.0 doesn't exist; did you mean 3.0?"
+- Be a little more intelligent when perform web checks; for example,
+ if we get a forbidden message, that probably means we go the right
+ address but it's blocked off; if we get a 404 message, that probably
+ means wrong address. Account Unknown is something particularly good
+ to check for.
+- Wordpress module can do something intelligent if we get redirected
+ to the installation page.
+- wizardResolve* files seem to get left in tmp en-mass, and we don't
+ know why.

- Remerges aren't reflected in the parent files, so `git diff` output is
spurious. Not sure how to fix this w/o tree hackery.
- Parse output HTML for class="error" and give those errors back to the user (done),
then boot them back into configure so they can enter in something different
-- If you try to do an install on scripts w/o sql, it will sign you up but fail to write
- the sql.cnf file. This sucks.

-- Web application for installing autoinstalls has a hard problem
- with credentials (as well as installations that are not conducted
- on an Athena machine.) We have some crazy ideas involving a signed
- Java applet that uses jsch to SSH into athena.dialup and perform
- operations.

- Pay back code debt
- Tidy up common code in callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell;
namely cooking up the sudo and environment variable lines
- Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
output summary charts when I increase specificity
+ - util.fetch() should use urllib under the hood, not httplib. Code
+ has to be changed. We should log if we get redirected.
- Other stuff
+ - Add support for mypristine workflow
- 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`
that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
in Scripts.

+- [SCRIPTS] ACLs is a starting point for sending mail to users, but it

- Old maintainers who don't care who are still on the ACL
- - Private AFS groups that aren't mailing lists and that we

- 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.
