The Catalog Ingest Service is now checked into the NCSA subversion
repository as middleware/pipeline/execution/CatalogIngestService.
At present it is installed as python package CatalogIngestService. At
some point we should figure out a proper hierarchy for all the python
code and move the CIS into this. However, that is a more pressing
issue for python packages that other code will import (not the case
for the CIS).
By the way, I'm sorry to be grumpy about this, but having to supply a
password for every svn action is maddening and leads to password
abuse (e.g. creating a weak password or recording the password
somewhere unsafe).
Alternatives include:
- Supply clear instructions for public-key authentication. There's a
brief note now about it, but it is too terse to be much help for
non-experts.
- (my personal preference) Use non-ssh authentication, e.g. svn://
type URLs. This is very convenient for the user because the password
is (securely) cached with the working copy -- supply it once and
never again. But it requires the svn administrator to set up separate
(svn-only) usernames and passwords, and is presumably is not quite as
safe (if you ignore the argument about how having to type in a
password frequently leads to password abuse).
