</I>>>><i> [...]
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> So thanks to the work of Maat and ashledombos, we do have :
</I>>>><i> - a git repository on <A HREF="git://git.mageia.org/forum/">git://git.mageia.org/forum/</A> ( write access :
</I>>>><i> <A HREF="ssh://git.mageia.org/git/forum/">ssh://git.mageia.org/git/forum/</A> for them, as they requested ). Filled
</I>>>><i> with what was sent to me last week.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> - the friteuse vm that hold the forum is hosted on alamut, for the
</I>>>><i> moment, with a reverse proxy, on both http and https
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> We'll need perhaps to force a redirection for http to https (dunno is phpbb works well with both ways)
</I>><i> Well, I didn't want to force everybody just reading to go the https way.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> But that's a tricky problem to solve.
</I>><i>
</I>>>><i> - I had to remove ./install/, as asked by phpbb who refused to work. I
</I>>>><i> do not know if there was something needed, it is still in git, just
</I>>>><i> removed on the snapshot with rm ( I kept in git to ease the merge of
</I>>>><i> code later ).
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> an other approach is to rename install -> noinstall and prevent completely access to noinstall with apache deny
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> -> when we need to use again install a move noinstall -> install sets back the forum to maintenance mode
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> (for better security controlling access to install with an ip whitelist or even a http based login against ldap would be nice)
</I>><i> http based login seems easier to manage. ip based whitelist is usually
</I>><i> bad the day you discover something urgent need to be done and you
</I>><i> cannot.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Now, what is in install/ that would be used later ?
</I>><i>
</I>Nearly every upgrade coming with a change of version number... and more generally every upgrade needing to change things in database.
>>><i> [...]
</I>><i> [...]
</I>>><i> If we don't use .htaccess then all these configs need to be moved to apache vhost config
</I>><i> IMHO, that's safer.
</I>><i>
</I>Ok but we'll probably need to change rewrite rules from time to time...
=> problems to expect sooner or later
>>><i> - IMHO, a clearer separation of code and theme should be done, as for
</I>>>><i> now, we do have everything in the same git repository
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> Ok but how ?
</I>><i> That's up to you to tell me. I see 2 possibility :
</I>><i> - 2 repositories ( one for code, one for theme ), with different access
</I>><i> right
</I>><i> - coordination with the web team for that ( ie decide when the code is
</I>><i> ready and when the theme is, and deploy accordingly ). Using 2 branch
</I>><i> could maybe help.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It seems to me that trying to decouple both would be better, but that's
</I>><i> twice the admin work, and coordination is still required.
</I>><i>
</I>/me's perplex
><i> ( speaking of that, I also have to arrange a way to upgrade the code by
</I>><i> manual intervention and so on, I didn't forget )
</I>><i>
</I>...
>><i> yes... at registration could be done but the created account would not be able to log in
</I>><i> IMHO, that mean the db will quickly be filled by spam bots.
</I>><i>
</I>That's forumadmins job to avoid such mess and if needed to adapt configs
But you're right : we need to quickly change link to push users willing to create accounts to identity web app
>>><i> - prepare the migration to the vm at nfrance ( once it is ready ). This
</I>>>><i> will requires some adjustments to some puppet modules, as we assumed
</I>>>><i> that only one db server would be used.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> ph34r the distance between db server (Marseille) and forum (Toulouse)
</I>><i> That's why we need a adjustment, I have started to rework the pgsql
</I>><i> module for that, but that's not as urgent as others tasks ( as deploying
</I>><i> wiki, bittorrent, etc )
</I>><i>
</I>><i> ( otoh, as phpbb seems to have a rather aggressive cache system, maybe
</I>><i> this will not be as horrible as it seems, or at least, this would be
</I>><i> sufficient for the start ).
</I>It will also depend on the amount of buzz around mageia and of users willing to subscribe and get in :)
