Project Details

Weave Server consists of two APIs:

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 packaged and available on the main Fedora respositories (yum install weave). The package should allow a user to install a working Weave server with minimal configuration.

Both 0.1 and 0.2 milestones have been completed. Install documentation added to wiki and initial bugzilla request has been submitted for Package review.

2/2/2011

Initial wiki page created. Met with Mike Hoye to discuss initial package design. It was decided that the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ folder would be used to automatically pick up the weave apache conf file to help automate the install process.
