[Sandweb-users] ready for BETA?

[Rob H. <ro...@ro...>]

Hello,


I'm pretty happy with the current state of the SandWeb CVS,
I'd like to do a beta release if noone finds any show-stoppers.

Anyone interested in helping a pre-beta test? It's easy!

1) check out the latest SandWeb sources from CVS :

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/sandweb login 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/sandweb co sandweb

2) read the INSTALL and README files to install SandWeb ( Debian 
   users can find a debian/ dir that can be used to make a .deb
   package, which will have all the dependencies you need specified ).

3) use SandWeb as your regular CVS client

Please note that there are some issues with the "pserver" protocol,
namely that it is pretty much impossible to support securely with
a stock SandWeb install. "local" works without fuss, but it's
terribly insecure ( all users have the same access, the access
of the user running Apache ).

I'm thinking about writing a HOWTO on setting Apache up for 
individual users to run SandWeb more securely ( e.g. the "local"
and "pserver" protocols, and SSH keys would all work great in
this scenario ). If this is useful to anyone, please let me know
and I'll help you get it running ( and we can document the procedure ).



Thanks,
Rob Helmer
