1. File System Layout

Let

• $moin = /afs/hcoop.net/common/app/moin.

• $version is the full moin version e.g. 1.9.5

• $shortversion is the first two digits of the version without the dots. E.g. 19 for moin 1.9.x. This is to allow users to get automatic updates with a release series.

• $sourcedir = $moin/src/moin-$version

• $targetdir = $moin/installed/moin$shortversion

$moin/installed is set in DomTool's Config.worldReadable list so that all members can serve moin static content.

2. Installation of a new version

Download and unpack source into the appropriate $sourcedir. Install:

python setup.py install --force --record=install_$version.log --prefix=$targetdir --install-data=$targetdir

You will then have to edit $targetdir/bin/moin and .../share/moin/server/moin.cgi to include the python library paths for the afs moin. Usually something like:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '$targetdir/lib/python2.6/site-packages')

Update moinmoin-install to copy files from the new version if needed. Update the moinMoin macro to use the latest htdocs prefix (moin_static$version without the dots).
