Summary: Review Request: viewmtn - Web interface for Monotone version control system https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435842 ------- Additional Comments From thomas.moschny@xxxxxx 2008-03-14 05:16 EST ------- (In reply to comment #2) > - 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. The mailman package doing it this way doesn't mean it's correct or even useful here. With the current setup, ViewMTN doesn't care at all about a config file in /etc, so why should the symlink be there at all? Solely as a hint, where to look for the real config file? I don't think so. So, inverting the symlink direction is in fact not enough, but additionally, your sniplet added at the end of config.py, should import the file from /etc and not from %{python_sitelib}/viewmtn. Again, I consider it a packaging bug if a file under /usr has to be edited in order to configure the package, at least I understand the FHS this way. Additionally, because %{python_sitelib}/viewmtn/user_config.py is not marked %config, changes made there are easily overwritten during a package update. > - monotone's poor support for db file sharing makes it extremely hairy to > make anything work out of the box.

It didn't affect usage on fedorahosted.org, if, in addition to /srv/mtn/*/db.mtn, /var/lib/monotone/server.mtn, would be considered for the list of dbs to be served, does it? Thought ViewMTN tried to work around the sharing problems (in a limited fashion) by restarting the mtn process in case of any problem. Otoh, this is not a blocker issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
