Potential project for Fedora Infrastructure newcomers: Deploy Review Board for use by hosted projects

[Jeffrey Ollie]

Hello newcomers to Fedora Infrastructure!

There have been quite a few of you popping up lately, but there hasn't
been a lot for you to do yet.  Well here's your chance.  I'd like to
investigate adding Review Board
http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/ as a service for Fedora Hosted
projects.  Review Board is a web based tool for managing code reviews.
 If this is something that you'd like to work on, here's an outline of
what needs to happen.

1. Package Review Board for Fedora (and EPEL too, as Fedora
Infrastructure typically deploys services on RHEL 5).  This will be
useful even if we decide not to deploy Review Board for Fedora Hosted.
2. Install & configure Review Board on a test system and figure out
how to Puppetize the configs.
3. Get feedback from the community and decide if we want to deploy as
production.
4. Assist in the deployment to production and help with day-to-day management.

If you're interested, here's the ticket I'm using to track progress:

 Review Board is a tool for managing code reviews.  Digium has been
 successfully using it to review code submissions for Asterisk for several
 months now.  It would be very useful to offer this to hosted projects for
 their use.

Home page:
 http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/

Digium's installation:
 http://reviewboard.digium.com/

Review Board itself would need to be packaged, but it appears that all of
 the dependencies are already in Fedora:

Great!  First off, you need to get set up as a packager:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join

and you'll want to start the process of joinging Fedora Infrastructure:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted

You should also add yourself as a CC to the ticket:

Since you're just starting out with us, let's get Review Board
packaged and then we can get the test server set up.

one component of reviewboard is available as .egg file would it be ok if i
use the .egg file as Source1 or better package it as rpm too?

You'll want to use the .tar.gz files and package Djblets and Review
Board separately.  See:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python/Eggs#Upstream_Eggs

For lots of good tips on packaging Python modules see:
