When doing a Fedora upgrade (eg, F17->F20), here are some things to check on.
Scripts Infrastructure
- TextPattern?
- Pony
- whois
- logview (for users, mostly)
Web features
- SSL
- Do we pick the right cert for mit.edu names?
- Do we pick the right cert for *.scripts.mit.edu names?
- Do we pick the right cert for scripts-cert and scripts.mit.edu
- Does mod_vhost_ldap, our static config, and Pony (as applicable) still support...
- Basic user.scripts.mit.edu
- foo.user.scripts.mit.edu
- Wildcards (eg, *.isyournewbicycle.csail.mit.edu -- say, scripts.isyournewbicycle.csail.mit.edu)
- Non-reified sitename.mit.edu
- A reified vhost (should have been checked as part of the SSL mit.edu names)
- Our weirder hosts, scripts.mit.edu and scripts-cert.mit.edu
Autoinstalled Apps
You should check what the whole list is by running an autoinstall, but...
- MediaWiki?
- WordPress?
- git repo
- Trac
- Warning: Trac will offer to do a schema upgrade when first visited from the new distro, so you should do this with a Trac that you don't mind breaking for a while.
- Frameworks
- Obviously, these can have substantial variation between them, but checking at least one example is maybe a good idea (if for no other reason than to be better at answering questions)
- TurboGears?
- Pony
- Django
- Ruby
Sites to look at
Here are some sites you could take a look at, as examples of what people actually do, that are also moderately prominent.
- http://registrar.scripts.mit.edu/visualroomfinder/
- Django: https://asa.mit.edu/ (and try logging in)
