postgres-crate, pallet-test-env, and stable branches

[upgrad...@gmail.com]

Hi all, 

I've successfully wired up my project so that I can build and completely configure a server with apache httpd, postgres, and deploy a http-kit app. I must admit that it's really amazing that I can do all of the server configuration with just a few commands! This is really powerful stuff!

As I was getting things working, I noticed that the 0.8.x version of the postgres crate is in need of a few updates. For example, ubuntu 14.04 installs 9.3 by default and postgres 9.3 uses a new unix_socket_directories option. (I see a pull request for this here: https://github.com/pallet/postgres-crate/pull/9). I'd also like to add support for ubuntu 14.10 to use postgres 9.4. 

Now that I have a better understanding of how to use pallet, I'd like to dive deeper to look under the hood and I thought a good way to do that would be to write a few tests to ensure postgres works on ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 with correct versions. 

I found the pallet-test-env project. Is pallet-test-env being used to test any crates currently? Also, is there a version 0.8.0 crate out there that has a good coverage of test cases that I might use as reference for best practices when testing crates?

Also, it seems a lot of the 0.8.0 crates haven't been actively developed in a few months. Is it worth the time fixing them up? The palletops site says that 0.7.x is the stable version and I saw a post earlier that work is being done on pallet 0.9.0? Is that still the case? And if so, perhaps I should be using 0.7.0, and then wait until 0.9.0 is ready?

Thanks!

Dave

Hi,

you mentioned an apache httpd crate?
I'm just searching exactly for such a crate ... and near to the decision to write one by my own.
Are you interested in sharing your work?


Best Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael, yes, sure thing, it's very specific to how I like to configure virtual hosts on ubuntu but feel free to use it if it helps:

Here's an example of how I'm using it: 

https://github.com/upgradingdave/all2us/blob/master/pallet/src/all2us_pallet.clj#L75

What operating system dist and version do you need it for?

Hi Dave,

cool - thanks :-) I just reading your code :-))

I'm using:
pallet 0.8.0-RC.11
ubuntu 14.04

So distro configs may be quite similar.


Best regards,
Michael

Hi Dave,

did some first tests and looks very promising - the vhost-generator works
allready for me. Thanks for sharing your work :-)

I will write many tests (If you are curioous, I will commit my progress at
https://github.com/DomainDrivenArchitecture/httpd-crate).

For every extension I try to stay backward compatible. In order to keep the
merge option for the time I've finished my work, I promise to get again
compatible for every test you will provide to me :-)

Do you agree on this?

Best regards,
Michael

Excellent, glad you are finding it useful. 

That sounds good. I'll keep track of your progress (I see you've already made some nice improvements already!) 

The next time I need to make any changes, I'll rebase on your latest and I'll also write tests to ensure I don't break any of your additions as well. 

Dave
