Fedora Updates System
=====================

    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UpdatesSystem


Setting up the updates system environment
=========================================

(Note: all of the global settings for this project are in ./updatessystem/config/app.cfg)

1. Install the necessary software

        # yum install TurboGears python-TurboMail createrepo

2. Install the identity provider (we're authenticating against bugzilla
   until we get the Fedora Accounts System into shape)

        # cp updatessystem/identity/sobzprovider.py /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/identity/

   Add the plugin to the TurboGears entry points file:

        # vim `rpm -ql TurboGears | grep entry_points.txt`

   Under the [turbogears.identity.provider] section, add the following line:

        bugzilla  = turbogears.identity.sobzprovider:SoBugzillaIdentityProvider

3. Create the database tables

        $ tg-admin sql create

4. Initialize the database with our distribution settings such as Releases, Arches, Multilib, etc.

        $ ./updatessystem/model.py


Running the updates system test suite
=====================================

    All tests are stored in the 'tests' module in this project, and can be
    run by executing the command `nosetests` in top level of the project.
