Denis Laxalde <denis.laxalde@logilab.fr> [Wed, 05 Apr 2017 14:31:44 +0200] rev 12144
[server] Inline _entity_update method into init method of AbstractSource
This _entity_update method does not make sense now that we do not update
source from database information but always build them afresh.

[server] Drop update_config method of source
It does not make sense anymore to update the config of a source instance
(subclass of cubicweb.server.sources.AbstractSource) now that they are always
built from database information (CWSource). In datafeed and ldapfeed, we
move all code from "update_config" method in "init" method.
This changeset fixes LDAPFeedUserDeletionTC.test_a_filter_inactivate() failure
(unittest_ldapsource.py) introduces in previous changeset.
Denis Laxalde <denis.laxalde@logilab.fr> [Tue, 04 Apr 2017 16:28:50 +0200] rev 12142
[server] Make "sources_by_uri" and "sources_by_eid" properties of repository
I.e. do not populate these dict as repo initialization (bootstrap step) but
always use information from database. This is needed because when multiple
instances of the same application run, if one instance adds a CWSource the
other ones will not see it. In particular, when using a scheduler instance,
new CWSource will be added by the web instance and not seen by the scheduler
which is supposed to update them.
We thus define properties for sources_by_eid and sources_by_uri instead
attributes on repository instance. CWSource entities are thus retrieved from
database every time these properties are accessed. We factor out
initialization of the "source" instance (subclass of
cubicweb.server.source.AbstractSource) in a _sources() method. Note that this
method takes care of calling "init" method on the source as well as
"set_schema" (previously done in repo.set_schema(), which now only touches
system_source). Accordingly the "init_sources_from_database" method is dropped
along with "add_source"/"remove_source" methods.
In syncsources hook, we thus drop:
* SourceAddedOp operation which called repo.add_source() so that the
SourceAddedHook only cares about checking source configuration now;
* SourceRemovedOp and SourceRenamedOp operations for the same reason;
* SourceConfigUpdatedOp as updating the live config of source is
meaningless once we rely on them being retrieved from the database;
* SourceHostConfigUpdatedHook hook which is now useless without call to
SourceConfigUpdatedOp;
In 3.10 migration script, remove usage of sources_by_uri repo attribute which,
unless I'm missing something, appears useless (at least now).
In tests:
* unittest_datafeed: remove test_update_url method since we dropped respective
hook;
* unittest_ldapsource: LDAPFeedUserDeletionTC.test_a_filter_inactivate()
currently fails because it still relies on live config being updated, this
will be fixed in the next changeset once all "live source" logic will be
removed.

Add a "Contributing" section to README with patch submission guidelines
For the CubicWeb project and its dependencies, we now prefer patches
submission and review by email on a public mailing list. We are thus moving
away from the previous vcreview-based workflow taking place on the forge.
This change is motivated by the following points:
- the current reviewer assignment mechanism (pick a random reviewer, rely on
reviewer availability rather than on willingness to review, send related
patches to distinct people, etc.) is inefficient if not counter-productive;
- most of the times, discussion only happens between the patch submitter and a
reviewer with no easy way to increase the audience;
- cubicweb-vcreview has no concept of patch series;
- cubicweb-vcreview is not actively maintained anymore and its usability keeps
deteriorating.
We expect that email-based submission and review of patches will circumvent
these limitations. Anybody interested in the project is welcome to subscribed
to the mailing list and participate to the review process.
This patch documents the basic workflow of patches submissions by email.
