RT 1.0.3 is out

Over the past few months, there have been a few very minor bugfixes to RT1.0.
They’ve been rolled in with a slight ui tweaking for webrt. RT 1.0.3 was
released today… We encourage you to update once you’ve tested 1.0.3 on
a nonproduction system and have a full backup of your RT database and content.

Some ui cleanups in the web ui. 

What were they? I’ve still got a broken web ui due to the massive number of
backlogged requests and the inability to display only a subset of open tickets

Sadly, not that fix just yet. a simpler looking queue layout

There was a patch for limiting the search long, long time ago. Maybe you
can find it again or check out “my” FunRT branch from the cvs. Eventually
you can go into the source and hardcode a limit.

I looked around but I didn’t see a CHANGELOG file anywhere. Is their a list
of changes somewhere I can view them?

And so i says to him|her…
Don’t know right now. I’ll be travelling in central europe for a large chunk of this month, as will tobias. Things have, of course, taken longer than we’d hoped and there’s still a lot of work to do on 2.0…though large chunks of the core work now. If you have any spare programmer/hours to throw at it, It’ll certainly get done quicker :wink:

I’m very interested in seeing rt2.0 come to completion.

FYI, there is a bug in the devel makefile in the ‘fixperms’
rule. I’d fix it , but my bourne shell scripting are skills
are pretty bad .

The error seems to lie in this if condition.

fixperms:
if [ ! -d $(RT_PATH) ] ;
then
chown -R $(RTUSER) $(RT_PATH)
chgrp -R $(RTGROUP) $(RT_PATH)
chmod 0755 $(RT_PATH)
fi

if [ ! -d $(RT_PATH) ] ;
then
chown -R $(RTUSER) $(RT_PATH)
chgrp -R $(RTGROUP) $(RT_PATH)
chmod 0755 $(RT_PATH)
fi

I hadn’t tested it at all, sorry, my fault. I added it after somebody
complained: “what if we set $(RT_PATH) to /usr/local?” - so I changed it
to only set those permissions if the dir is nonexistant. Any suggestion
how this one should look out?

and it’s difficult to set perms on something that does not exist. :slight_smile:

perhaps do not use ch* -R; instead

create rt_path as root
chown and chmod rt_path
su - rtuser -c fire off install script which →
umasks rtuser (to reflect proper mode)
make ru_path/subdirectories
installs rt files there

that would halt anyone from being able to destroy perms on a system
directory accidentally, unless rtuser happens to be rewt.

i’m going thru majordomo’s config to see how they do it, but it’s totally
incomprehensible. :stuck_out_tongue:

Agh … of course :slight_smile: Seems like the “mkdir” line was missing there.

no, -R is evil. I’ve heard rumors it might traverse through symlinks at
some systems.

su - rtuser -c fire off install script which →
umasks rtuser (to reflect proper mode)
make ru_path/subdirectories
installs rt files there

That might work out … but I don’t have the time to fix it at the moment.
If you could make me a patch, it would have been nice :slight_smile:

hi!

when will 2.0 come out?

“not yet”

Anyway, it’s possible to check out the latest source from the cvs and
submit bugreports (to rt20@fsck.com, eventually right to me), and probably
the road to a stable 2.0-release will go a bit faster. :slight_smile:
