AMO/FlightDeck/1.0a6/ServerUpdate

1.a6 is a major update. There were changes in database and file structure. Majority of changes will be done by simply pulling the branch, but some has to be implemented manually.

Update Process

1. Copy ./flightdeck/settings_local.py to some safe space
2. copy all SDKs from ./sdk_versions/ to some safe space
3. Pull the staging branch first

   git pull origin staging

4. Copy all revisions from the safe place to ./lib/
5. Edit ./settings_local.py
   • from settings import *
   • add there DATABASE and AUTH_DATABASE settings
6. Install vendor libraries

   git clone --recursive git://github.com/zalun/FlightDeck-lib.git vendor

7. Call update database script

   python ./scripts/update-1.0a6.py

8. Initialize submodules

   git submodule init && git submodule update

9. Add new SDKS

   • python ./manage.py add_core_lib jetpack-sdk-0.8

   • python ./manage.py add_core_lib addon-sdk-0.9

Clean Up

Some of the directories were ignored by git before. This is a full root directory listing of the current project:

apps/    
cuddlefish/
docs/
lib/            
media/    
requirements/
scripts/
tools/      
upload/       
utils/
vendor/       
README       
__init__.py  
log_settings.py 
manage.py        
settings.py 
settings_local.py 
urls.py 

If there is any other file or directory it is adviced to remove it.

WSGI Config

This is a WSGI script I run under Apache2 on http://flightdeck.zalewa.info/

import sys
import os
import site
PROJECT_PATH = '/var/www/FlightDeck'
VIRTUAL_ENV = '/home/zalun/Envs/flightdeck'
ALLDIRS = [
       os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH),
       os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'apps'),
       os.path.join(VIRTUAL_ENV, 'lib/python2.6/site-packages'),
]
# Remember original sys.path.
prev_sys_path = list(sys.path)
# Add each new site-packages directory.
for directory in ALLDIRS:
       site.addsitedir(directory)
# add the app's directory to the PYTHONPATH
apache_configuration= os.path.dirname(__file__)
project = os.path.dirname(apache_configuration)
workspace = os.path.dirname(project)
sys.path.append(workspace)
# reorder sys.path so new directories from the addsitedir show up first
new_sys_path = [p for p in sys.path if p not in prev_sys_path]
for item in new_sys_path:
       sys.path.remove(item)
       sys.path[:0] = new_sys_path
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings_local'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
