[Piuparts-devel] running piuparts master/slave from git

[Andreas Beckmann]

Hi,

first of all I'd like to keep the possibility to have a piuparts
instance running from git like it's done now with update-piuparts-setup,
although this should probably be separated into smaller pieces to allow
running slave and master separately from git.
The setup-from-git script should be run by the user that is going to use
the files (and eventually write in the directory structure ...) to avoid
a lot of sudo and chown.

There are 3 groups of files, by usage:

slave:
home/piupartss
etc/piuparts/scripts*
$PIUPARTS/slave

master:
home/piupartsm
etc/piuparts/known-problems/ [1]
$PIUPARTS/master
$PIUPARTS/backup
$PIUPARTS/htdocs
$PIUPARTS/htdocs/doc [2]

shared:
etc/piuparts/piuparts.conf*
$PIUPARTS/{bin,lib,share,...} [2]


[1] known-problems should get a number-prefix to do the ordering and be
moved from home/piupartsm/bin/known-problems to
/etc/piuparts/known-problems. detect-well-known-problems and
piuparts-report should look there (and -report should not carry its own
list of the known problems).
But that can be accomplished better once the two repositories are merged.

[2] these are created by a make install call ... why does this have to
be done as root?

The shared files are probably the most problematic ... who should own them?
