Hi everyone. I just wanna ask if anyone here has successfully installed Reviewboard on Centos4.8? I tried to install it and after a stressful updates and configuration of several libraries I've managed to install it but I'm still getting error messages.

So long as you're hooked up to LDAP, NIS, etc., it should automatically add the user if adding their username. The username must exist already on the auth backend. If this doesn't work, it's an odd regression.

Script to delete fake accounts
Hi, a while ago I asked in this mailing list how to delete the accounts of 'fake users' or spam accounts in a public reviewboard instance. Today I managed to do it via a little script that can be run from a python console. Maybe it can help some of you to do the same. The script walks over all users in the database and deletes all users who have never done anything else in reviewboard but registering and visiting a review. So every user who is associated to at least one ReviewComment or some other meaningful object in the database is spared. Here is the script: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.db.models.query_utils import CollectedObjects spam = 0 ham = 0 for user in User.objects.all(): print "User: %s ..." % user, isactive = False seen_objs = None seen_objs = CollectedObjects(seen_objs) user._collect_sub_objects(seen_objs) for obj in seen_objs.keys(): if (obj.__name__ != "Profile") and (obj.__name__ != "ReviewRequestVisit"): isactive = True break if (isactive): print "Active (found associated %s)" % obj ham = ham + 1 else: spam = spam + 1 #user.delete() print "DELETED" print "Total HAM %d" % ham print "Total SPAM %d" % spam You can simply run it by typing rb-site manage /path/to/site shell and then pasting the script above. (make sure you have a backup of you database!) Cheers, David PS: note that I commented the line that actually does the deletion, so you can do a dry run before -- Want to help the Review Board project?

I was speaking more on a general level with LDAP. I wasn't really sure how many people from which groups were involved in this discussion :) OpenID is something I'd like to see. It won't happen for 1.5 (we're about to release our RC and then hopefully the final release shortly after), but probably 1.6 (which I want to be a much shorter release).

Re: Showing repositories paths to users
Hi, Glad you like it enough to think it's perfect :) What some places do is put the repository path (or part of it) in the repository name so it's easily visible in the selector. I assume you're wanting this for the New Review Request page? Or do you just need something on, say, the review request page where we show the repository name? I don't know if anyone there is using post-review to post the review requests, but if you use that you shouldn't even have to see the repository path, as it will figure it out for you.

They won't appear in the autocomplete, but if you type the name it will work. Review Board checks the auth backend for any unrecognized names that are entered and pulls them down then.

Redmine does support LDAP as a backend and adding a custom authentication backend to Redmine is also trivial (just implement an AuthSource - takes less than 40 lines of code for simple DB-based authentication). What I could consider somewhat problematic with these custom auth backends in both Review Board and Redmine is the "pull" approach that is implemented by them: The user account data is only pulled from the backend when an account is used for the first time, so you cannot add somebody as a reviewer before he has signed on at least once.

It's best never to delete a user in Review Board. Marking them as inactive is fine, though. I know what other people have done is written custom auth backends to talk to a central database for users, so instead of creating/updating users in Review Board based on redmine's data, you'd just have Review Board use redmine for authentication in some way. I'm not familiar enough with redmine, but if it could use something like LDAP for authentication, that'd be even easier.
