Also a good place to put the - MySQL authentication variables since it should live outside - the DocumentRoot. - -- html/login.php (probably index.php) - PHP script to handle logging users into the AUR web site. It - authenticates using the email address and a password against - the Users table. Once authenticated, a session id is generated - and stored in the Sessions table and sent as a cookie to the - user's browser. - -- html/logout.php - PHP script to logout. It clears the session id from the - Sessions table and unsets the cookie. - -- html/account.php - PHP script to handle registering for a new account. It prompts - the visitor for account information: Email, password, real name, - irc nick. The info is recorded in the Users table. Perhaps later, - we can add a preferences field that allows the user to request to - be notified when new packages are submitted so that they can cast - votes for them? - - If a TU is logged into the system, they can edit accounts and set - the account type (regular user or TU). If a Dev is logged in, they - can also set the account type to Dev. TUs and Devs are able to - delete accounts. If an account is deleted, all "Unsupported" - packages are orphaned (the MaintainerUID field in the Packages - table is set to Null). - -- html/packages.php - PHP script to search the package database. It should support - searching by location ("unsupported", "community", "extra"), name, - category, maintainer, popularity, etc. It should resemble the - packages.php script on archlinux.org. A checkbox should be - included next to each package to allow users to flag a package - out of date, adopt it, and vote for it (and reverse operations). - -- html/pkgsubmit.php - This is the PHP script that allows users to upload a new package. - The package format will be a tgz containing the PKGBUILD, - scriptlets, and patches necessary to build the package from - source. Initially, the user submitting the package can select - its category (network, devel, etc) but that can be modified - later by the adopting TU. The script makes appropriate entries - into the database (and perhaps notifies interested users of the - new package). - - -Terms and Definitions: -====================== -AUR - Arch Linux User-Community Repository - Includes: - - the AUR web site, - - the [unsupported] 'repository' - - the [community] repository managed by the TUs - -TU - Trusted User - A user that can add binary packages to the [community] - repository and administer AUR. - -[unsupported] - The collection of package build files hosted via the AUR web site. - |
