The "latest" tag is a pain to maintain: it's a tag that we delete and
re-create at every release. Whenever we delete it, the binaries become
unavailable on Github until they are re-generated. Thus, from now on, we
conform to good practices (as examplified by the
github.com/docker/compose) project and distribute only pinned release.
The "nightly" tag remains, for now, as it allows us to distribute beta
features. It may disappear in the future.
For some reason, the "nosetests" binary is not available on Mac OS in
Travis-ci. This is what we get when we try to install nose:
Requirement already satisfied: nose==1.3.7 in
/usr/local/Cellar/numpy/1.14.5/libexec/nose/lib/python3.6/site-packages
(from -r requirements/dev.txt (line 25)) (1.3.7)
Environment is no longer generated separately for each target, but only
once the configuration is saved.
Note that the environment is automatically updated during
re-configuration, based on a "version" file stored in the environment.
Replace all make commands by a single "tutor" binary. Environment and
data are all moved to ~/.tutor/local/share/tutor. We take the
opportunity to add a web UI and revamp the documentation.
This is a complete rewrite.
Close #121.
Close #147.
"env" now only generates the environment, and depends only on
config.json, which is run only when necessary. There exists only one
"make configure" command, which force-runs config.json and builds the
env.
This allows us to deploy much faster: all we have to do is to copy the
assets from the container to the shared volume.
We also changed the way themes are managed: similarly to static assets,
they are now packaged inside the docker image.
We don't need to run "chmod" on openedx files outside of development
mode. So, there is no need to set the USERID environment variable in
most cases. This should considerably accelerate pretty much all commands
that involve the openedx container.
For discussion consult PR #98.
webpack requires the NODE_ENV environment variable which is incorrectly
set "paver update_assets" in development mode. To avoid this issue, we
split update_assets into its subparts.
