Re: Django's testing infrastructure

I don't know i had your message right Chris but i think the purpose is to keep those machines running for a __long__ time. BUT having VMs ready would allow anyone to offer a new machine/slice in the case that someone finally decide to end his participation. About VMs formats, I am not an expert

btw - Simon and I work together - so the identical specs were actually one machine... anyhow, we're really pleased to be involved, and to see how this all goes. We've been toying with CI for a while - including trying out the Trac Bitten plugin (http://bitten.edgewall.org/) - which could be

Inheritance: Create a way to subclass and override attributes of a parent class.

Problem that exists: 1) I need to subclass `contrib.auth.User` and strip some of the elements from it, like making `User.username` non-unique for SAAS with multiple accounts (`MyCustomUser.username` would only be `unique_together = ('account', 'username')` (other instances could occur but I

Re: Django's testing infrastructure

Awesome response! Thanks for the offering of support everyone. Luckily, with hudson, it's pretty simple to get this all set up. We basically just need to figure out what the infrastructure looks like. I don't know if it's going to make more sense to try and set up dedicated Database servers, or

Re: dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

If you look at dbsettings (which again, might be dead - i don't know) it solves a lot of those problems; settings are tied into the "sites" module, and are presented to the user in a very friendly way. The problem of db migration is still there, but I can envision an import/export to XML (or

That's great news, thanks! A very minor issue: web server returns 'Content-Type:text/ html;charset=ISO-8859-1' header for this page: http://hudson.djangoproject.com/monitor/? but the actual page encoding is utf-8 so there are strange symbols instead of translated strings. -- You received this

Re: dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

I'd love to see a better way of managing settings in the core of django. It's a real pain point sometimes for writing and using pluggable applications and there's a wide range of ways that application developers try to tackle it. Some have basically no settings, some plan on users reading the

Re: Django's testing infrastructure

I can toss in a Core i7 w/12GB for testing as well, if someone can give me the VMs in either VirtualBox or Linux KVM format. I think this is a brilliant idea, and would even be willing to contribute some money to cover EC2/etc, if that's what it takes. Chris On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 11:49 AM,

Re: Django's testing infrastructure

I have about 4 apple Xserves with quad cores and 16 GBs or RAM sitting in my server room at work. I will see if I can use them for this purpose. I don't think it will be a problem since I'm the CIO and am pretty much left alone to do what i want with our hardware. I'll post back next week

Wouldn't it be interesting to build some Virtual Machines that people could grab and deploy directly in the cloud ? It might interest people willing to contribute hardware but not having much time to dedicate at maintaining it. I personnaly have a spare Desktop with a Quad Core and 4G of RAM that

Hi, We would be happy to contribute space on one of our staging dedicated servers. Our stack is: CentOS 5 MySQL 5.0 (using InnoDB as standard, but you are welcome to have a MyISAM database as well) Python 2.6 Lighttpd 1.4.23 Let me know if this is useful, and perhaps contact me privately to

dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

I have been looking around for a way of managing user-configurable application settings, and the only solution I have found is dbsettings, which looks like it hasn't been touched in 3 years. So, I would like to know: is dbsettings dead? Or is there a different generally accepted method for having

Hi Eric, great activity, thanks! During the EuroDjango spring in Prague, I set up a Ubuntu + Oracle 10g test machine (buildbot) under Jacob's supervision. Shortly after, Jacob has set up a mailing list for buildbots. However, there were no followups from either side and my test machine

Re: Django's testing infrastructure

We'd like to offer a CentOS 5 machine with Python 2.6 / MySQL 5.0 (InnoDB and MyISAM) for testing (with Lighttpd 1.4.23 - if that is used in any tests). We'll try and set it up over the next week. Stephen On 26/02/2010 06:56, Russell Keith-Magee wrote: On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 11:54 AM, Eric
