Verbatim » Deployment

Pre-Deployment Checklist

• Prerequisites
  • dependencies
  • RPMs:
    • python-elementtree
    • python-kid
    • python-lxml
    • python-sqlite2
    • python-ldap
    • python-sqlalchemy (at least version 0.5)
  • At least gettext version 0.15. This seems to upgrade cleanly in Redhat with no dependency issues (bug 438706)
  • At least SVN 1.5 (we make use of --with-revprop)

Setup

• more details on these steps but a summary:

1. Create a Verbatim SSH account on the SVN server using an SSH key with no passphrase
2. Copy the key to a .ssh directory in the home directory of the verbatim user on the verbatim server
3. Add commit hooks to the SVN server for translate:author
4. checkout https://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/branches/mozootle
5. Copy pootle.prefs to a configuration directory and configure it
6. The command to run the server is ./PootleServer --prefsfile=/path/to/pootle.prefs --port=80

• • note: the pootle tree must be owned by whatever user is running the pootle server

Post-deployment Checklist

todo: verification things are working, cron jobs, nagios checks, etc.
