Forum OpenACS Development: SDM weirdness

1: SDM weirdness

Weird wild stuff appear to have happened to the 4.x code repository in
SDM...

For instance, where are the /www folder and all the non-core packages
under /packages?

CVS vs. the SDM is messed up badly at the moment, in some way related to the move to the new server. Thus far no one's had time to look into it. If Roberto, Dan, or Ben want to fix this that would be great, otherwise I may find time next week to dig into it.

There are also other weirdnesses, i.e. the permissions grid being absent from new-file-storage and no comment link being offered.

Ben, Ben, just what did you do?!? :)

I think part of the problem (at least with the permissions grid being
absent) might be due to some bugs in new-file-storage and
general-permissions.

I've noticed that the permissions in new-file-storage are sometimes
checked (and granted) for FS_FILES and sometimes for FS_VERSIONS,
giving obviously varying results. Also, the huge outer join query in
general_permissions (adminster-permissions.tcl) is not quite right. It
will show you the grid if you haven't given out any specific rights to
users or groups, but if you have given specific rights, then the grid
disappears. I think I've fixed this, but I'll test it this wknd
sometime and upload the patch to the SDM asap.

Well i just realized that I forgot to upload this patch, so here it is. I've uploaded Patch 69 for the general-permissions module and Patch 70 for the new-file-storage module. In my testing, they fix all the new-file-storage weirdness...
