--- Comment #3 from Sam Reed (reedy) s...@reedyboy.net ---
[23:55:49] TimStarling Reedy: still awake?
[23:56:06] Reedy Yup
[23:56:26] Reedy Just had one of my internet connections die, just been
trying to work out why
[23:59:57] TimStarling Reedy: so I see 366 references to /usr/local in
the apache configuration
[00:01:04] TimStarling plus about 339 symlinks in mediawiki-config
[00:01:04] Reedy TimStarling: Is that the primary path being used?
[00:01:19] TimStarling that is the primary path in the apache
configuration
[00:01:29] TimStarling in mediawiki-config I am including links to
/apache since that is more common
[00:01:49] Reedy yay, consistency
[00:02:00] TimStarling not my fault
[00:02:09] Reedy wasn't blaming you
[00:02:19] TimStarling blame brion ;)
[00:02:22] Reedy heh
[00:02:35] Reedy Who do we have to sthank/sblame for /h/w/c/p and
stuff?
[00:02:47] TimStarling jeronim
[00:03:07] TimStarling do you know him?
[00:03:20] TimStarling I think /apache was either brion or lee
[00:03:20] Reedy don't think I do..
[00:03:36] TimStarling but /h/w was jeronim
[00:04:09] TimStarling he's australian, he did some sysadmin work for us
in maybe 2004-2005
[00:05:39] TimStarling anyway, Ryan's proposed layout has various
git-deploy managed repos in /srv/deployment
[00:07:31] Ryan_Lane if it's far too much of a pain in the ass, I can
make the deployment system deploy to different destination locations
[00:07:37] TimStarling maybe we should try to avoid updating these 700
/usr/local/apache references more than once
[00:08:04] TimStarling we could change scap to push out to a new
location, say /srv/old
[00:08:21] TimStarling then replace the old /usr/local/apache with a
symlink farm
[00:08:28] * Ryan_Lane nods
[00:08:58] TimStarling then once git-deploy is stable, update the apache
configuration and document root symlinks so that we can remove
/usr/local/apache
[00:23:09] TimStarling Reedy: mediawiki-config needs to be in a separate
directory to the MW checkouts
[00:23:28] TimStarling let's say /srv/old/mediawiki-config
[00:23:43] TimStarling also, can we change the php- prefix now?
[00:24:06] TimStarling maybe just remove it? 1.21wmf6 seems like a good
directory name to me
[00:24:40] TimStarling the php- prefix predates the name mediawiki, it
annoys me that it was kept through hetdeploy
[00:25:08] Reedy can't see why not
[00:25:09] TimStarling i.e. /srv/old/1.21wmf6
[00:26:45] TimStarling so the idea is to commit relevant changes to
mediawiki-config, puppet, etc. to allow these directory structure changes
[00:27:34] TimStarling then swap the existing /usr/local/apache with a
symlink farm going to /srv/old
[00:28:18] TimStarling before the swap, /usr/local/apache will have the
old code in it, referring to the old directory structure
[00:28:59] TimStarling and people will have to be somehow temporarily
prevented from doing a git pull on the old code location
[00:29:07] TimStarling maybe it will have to be in a separate branch of
mediawiki-config
[00:29:17] TimStarling to make git-pull harmless
