I just checked in what I have been working on. Gasp. My first use of CVS and I had unintended consequences. The ideas I have been thinking of have matured dramatically after putting them to text. I think what I did at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/devel/dr_kludge/GilaMonster/GilaMonster/ was to abstract all the data that is required to be configured. If that was done successfully, then I don't think you'd have to have a live system to work on while making changes to a LEAF configuration. Yes, a live system would be required to build the final .lrp files and image.I had a similar thought about a year ago and ran into one snag that I never could figure out. We could use to=20 some degree the SF SQL server. When an image/package=20 is 'selected', how do we generate it w/o an external server?
I cannot say this will work yet. phpWebSite uses a tmp directory for working session files.Say it generates a text 'config' file, unless it specifically matches what is used on the 'LEAF-db', it won't do any good either. Coyote used to have a php/mysql program called 'sloppy' that emailed generated images..... they ended up abandoning it with the resources to actually use it. Although I find the idea quite plausible, I don't see the method to transport the finished product back to the user in a good fashion.
dr_kludge@sc8-pr-shell1:/home/groups/l/le/leaf$ ls
cgi-bin devel htdocs log mirror pub tmp
dr_kludge@sc8-pr-shell1:/home/groups/l/le/leaf$
The edit session would be stored here through phpWebSite services. So each user would have a unique edit session. If it is know what individual packages make up a LEAF system, couldn't they be gunziped; untared; have the modified files replaced? I sense the limitations however. All appears to be well until you have to mount a bin file to put it back together again. I don't don't now if phpws will let you do that. I am sure SF would have problems with the web server using the mount command.
I am not even sure a user would find a punch list of items to edit back on his live system useful. But that could be emailed to him/her after filing in the information on the web page.
I guess some more thought is required. Does the do you know if the sloppy code is still around?
