Summary: Review Request: viewmtn - Web interface for Monotone version control system
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435842
------- Additional Comments From roland@redhat.com 2008-03-13 20:48 EST ------- - typo fixed
- It's 3 lines and extra cvs hooey for a separate file is more trouble than help. Mainly it was just because I kept having to change the plan for how that loading would work.
- I would have thought that too, but I'm following the example of mailman mm_cfg.py, which is just the same sort of case.
- monotone's poor support for db file sharing makes it extremely hairy to make anything work out of the box. The sample configuration in the viewmtn rpm works for ssh-based db serving as deployed on fedorahosted.org now. I want to get viewmtn packaged and running before we try to solve every problem.
- Slicing up the upstream sources to separate webpy is outside the scope of the packaging effort. I don't think it's used unmodified, and I'm sure that version drift will be a big problem if we tried to maintain it separately.
- The #! complaints are stupid, but I worked around them since it would be more stupid to waste one's life arguing with rpmlint authors.
I don't see what different would be the proper way to handle uid/gid. The directory has to be owned by the uid/gid httpd runs as. The "Requires(pre): httpd" line should make sure it exists before install.
New version of spec and src.rpm in the same place.
