  4. 5.3.0-m4 report

    • Web should be deployed separately using OMERO.py zip and virtualenv
    • Webapps pip installed into virtualenv
    • All versions should be defined in requirements file
    • Ola: TRIAL tested via breaking. Quite stable now.
    • For m4 we just need webapps pip installable
    • Josh: need to update release boards etc. Not ready for m4
    • Chris: Might be easier to work with pre-compiled archives, ship these around etc. without using Pypy
    • Josh: ci could generate egg from merge jobs, put on github/snoopy
    • Jobs named web-dev-*
    • Testing. Omeroweb-install scripts with Ansible driver
    • Josh: is Ansible a barrier for all team getting started?
    • JM: don’t think this is a problem
    • New install docs page - need to be tested
    • Webapp naming: github: /ome/omero-*
    • Chris: bigger issue is root dir name for package. E.g. ‘figure’
    • Ola: omego isn’t known/used by the team much.
    • Josh: omego knows how to download and install server.
    • Should do the same for OMERO.web
    • Jean-Marie. Expose and document omego more as it becomes more stable
    • Josh: would be nice to have “requirements.txt” type file for omego so we know versions of everything installed
    • Josh: what is release job for m4? (Seabass release jobs dead)
    • Josh: What else for 5.3.0? Is ‘trial’ approved?
    • Will: pip install webapp doesn’t do omero config?
    • Josh: no, teach Ansible role how to build/install/config web apps?
    • Ola: this is just internal (ansible not used externally)?
    • Josh: IDR playbooks could use this. Keep improving - maybe release docs and tell external users to start using ansible in > a year.
    • Chris: asking a lot to have our users install & use Ansible etc.
    • Josh: config for installing webapps can be very complex. E.g. top-links, public urls, etc.
    • Chris: can add config to settings.py in each webapp.
    • Chat after standup tomorrow
