Patchwork

Odc:

Patchwork is a widely used patch review system.

This How-To aims to give a basis to setup Patchwork with PostgreSQL as backend.

There are some aspects which can be improved that this how-to is not covering.
* Create an apk for patchwork with init script
* Describe how to setup Patchwork for one project
* Describe how to setup Patchwork with MariaDB

== Initial package installation and setup PostgreSQL==
{{Cmd|apk add python py-django1.5 py-psycopg2 py-django-registration git postgresql}}
{{Cmd|/etc/init.d/postgresql setup}}
{{Cmd|/etc/init.d/postgresql start}}

'''Note:''' we are using py-django1.5 even if py-django (ver.1.7) is present in the repository.
This is because Patchwork is not yet compatible with django 1.7.

Create a regular account called "pwuser":
{{Cmd|adduser pwuser}}

As root:
{{Cmd|su - postgresql
createdb patchwork
createuser pwuser
createuser www-data
createuser nobody}}

Last two users are hardcoded in one of the next sql script. That's why you need to create it.

== Patchwork Installation and Configuration ==
Login with "pwuser" and clone the patchwork's git repository:
{{Cmd|git clone git://ozlabs.org/home/jk/git/patchwork}}

Create a local_settings.py starting from settings.py:
{{Cmd|cd patchwork/apps
cp settings.py local_settings.py}}

Customize local_settings.py according with your need.

SECRET_KEY can be generated with the following python script:

<pre>
import string, random
chars = string.letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
print repr("".join([random.choice(chars) for i in range(0,50)]))
</pre>

Now, populate PostgreSQL with patchwork database.

As "pwuser":
{{Cmd|python patchwork/apps/manage.py syncdb}}

At the end, the script will ask for patchwork's administrator username,email, and password.

Run another script for setting up the user's permissions:
{{Cmd|psql -f patchwork/lib/sql/grant-all.postgres.sql patchwork}}

Now you can run the server:
{{Cmd|python patchwork/apps/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000}}

Point your browser to http://$PATCHWORKS_SERVER_ADDRESS:8000

Login with the username and password you set before.

Enjoy.
