This is such a huge patch, it's probably impossible to tell what it does by
looking at the code. One thing is clear: It changes *everything* :P so here's
an overview:
- There are now 5 types of actors, each having its own top-level route
- So projects, repos, etc. are no longer "under" sharers
- Actor routes are now based on their KeyHashid, there are no "idents" anymore,
i.e. URLs look random and don't contain user or repo names
- No sharers anymore; people and groups are distinct entities not sharing a
common namespace or anything like that
- Project has been renamed to Deck and it simply means a ticket tracker; repos
are no longer "under" projects
- In addition to Person, Group, Repo and Deck, there's a new actor type Loom,
which is a patch tracker; i.e. Repo actors don't manage MRs anymore
- All C2S and S2S is temporarily disabled, because huge changes to the whole
code are required and I'll do them gradually in the next patches
- Since form-based actions are implemented using C2S, they're disabled as well,
so Vervis is now essentially read-only
- Some views have been temporarily removed, e.g. repo history and commit view
- A huge set of DB migrations has been added to adapt the DB to these changes;
I haven't tested them yet on a read DB so there may be errors there; I'll fix
them in the next patches if I find any (probably going to test on the main
instance where Vervis itself is hosted...)
- Some modules got tech upgrades, e.g. LocalActor became a higher-kinded type
and a similar pattern is probably relevant for several other types
- There's an 'Actor' entity in the DB schema now, and all 5 actor types use it
for common things like inbox and outbox
- Although inbox and outbox are used only by Actor, so essentially could be
removed, I haven't removed them; that's because I wonder if at some point
users can have a tree of inboxes much like in email; I don't have an excuse
for Outbox, but anyway, leaving them as is for now
- Workflows, roles and collaborators are partially removed/unused until I
figure out a sane federated way to provide these features
- Since repo routes don't contain a "sharer" anymore, SSH URIs are now simpler,
they already look like user@host/repo regardless of who "controls" that repo
* Publish a Create activity and respond with a Grant activity
* postProjectsR reuses that code
* No automatic following at the moment
* Workflow and role specified in new project form are ignored for now
* Can't create tracker under a group yet, just under the user
Now it's much clearer when looking at the code, that these routes are about
project-hosted tickets, and it's easier to see where the author-hosted
equivalents are missing.
There used to be project roles and repo roles, and they were separate. A while
ago I merged them, and there has been a single role system, used with both
repos and projects. However the table names were still "ProjectRole" and things
like that. This patch renames some tables to just refer to a "Role" because
there's only one kind of role system.
* When adding collaborators, you don't need a custom role. If you don't choose
one, a basic default "developer" role will be used
* If you don't assign a `ProjectCollabUser` role, a default "user" role is
assumed for logged in users, otherwise a "guest" role
* The "guest" role currently has no access at all
* Theoretically there may also be a "maintainer" role allowing project
sharers/maintainers to give maintainer-level access to more people, but right
now maintainer role would be the same as developer so I haven't added it yet
I used this chance to make some name changes, add some utils, tweak some
imports, remove more `setTitle`s and so on. I also made person, repo,
key and project creation forms verify CI-uniqueness.
