- Use webserver action utilites.
- Move status getting to module __init__.py so that it can be turned
into an API in future for further simplificaiton.
- Apply this to other modules too in future commits.
- To check whether a service is running does not require root
privileges. This can directly be done from a module without any
action.
- Since actions are allowed to be run using sudo, introducing
unnecessary sub-commands increases attack surface.
- Simple functions calls are unnecessarily being converted to command
line invocations and involve parsing response.
- There is a lot of repeated code because of this that can be
eliminated.
- To generalize this, we need to make all non-root system operations
directly from module instead of delegating to action commands.
- Merge actions/pagekite_util.py into plinth/modules/pagekite/util.py.
- Rename plinth/modules/pagekite/util.py to utils.py.
- Add python-augeus as dependency.
- Move actions/util.py to plinth/action_utils.py and update services
that use it.
- Rename _run() method to run() as it is being used publicly.
- Import the utils in a more conventional manner.
- Move all python2 bits to python3.
- Create groups on first boot a bit more safely
- Use get_or_create instead of get() and create()
- Fix issue with not showing a full list of groups in user modify page
when there is are no users for that group.
We should use on_install setups as sparingly as possible. We don't get
callbacks in cases where package is already installed. Until we
implement our versioned setup mechanism, doing some idempotent setup()
during enable() is much safer.
- For each application, add ./tests directory and __init__.py file
within it.
- Modify test controllers (coverage.py, runtests.py) to find the new
test directories for testing and coverage analysis.
- Move existing application-specific test modules (test_pagekite.py) to
the newly created directories.
