Package the Weave Server

Package the Weave Server

Project Description

Weave is the server used by Mozilla Sync for synchronizing personal data (bookmarks, passwords, form values, and cookies) across multiple machines and architectures (Windows/Linux, Android, etc). This project involves packaging Weave for Fedora and getting it through the package review process. This is being done so individuals, groups, and companies can run their own private weave server.

Project Details

Weave consists of two APIs: Weave Server (sync-server) and Weave Registration Server (reg-server). Sync is used for synchronizing data with the Weave server, while Reg-Server is used for setting up and managing user accounts.

The objective of the project is to have the Weave server RPM available on the main Fedora respositories. In addition, to streamline a clean install/uninstall of Weave including Apache administration.


Project Plan

Tracking mechanism (bugzilla, trac, github, ...): Bugzilla

Key contact: Mike Hoye (mhoye)


Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

  • 0.1 - Will begin with setting up a build-from-source Weave server for necessary understanding/testing. To be followed by research into Apache/MySQL configuration and streamlining. End result for 0.1 should be a draft RPM including spec/srpm files for build and testing
  • 0.2 - Package is to be tested with Koji to ensure support for the necessary architectures. Package review process should already be underway at this point.
  • 0.3 - Package has passed the Fedora package review process and entered the release management system.
