Bash script to create a full software development environment

I have create this (first version) script to automatize the creation of all the services related with a new software development project.

The script creates…

  • A new Subversion repository to host the source code of the project.
  • A new MySQL database to store the data of the Trac instance.
  • A new instance of Trac, linked to the just created Subversion repository, to be used like the project’s portal.
  • A configuration file for Apache2 in order to made accesible the Trac repository.

The structure of the new Subversion repository is as follows:

-> branches
-> tags
-> trunk
   -> docs
   -> src

The environment used was the following

  • Ubuntu Server 11.04 64 bits
  • Apache/2.2.17 (installed from the Ubuntu repositories)
  • MySQL Server 5.1.541ub (installed from the Ubuntu repositories)
  • Subversion 1.6.12 (installed from the Ubuntu repositories)
  • Python 2.7.1+ (installed from the Ubuntu repositories)
  • Trac 0.12

TODO

  • Implement checking to ensure that the different elements do not exists before trying to create them (for example the Subversion repository, or the MySQL database).
  • Implement the installation of the Subversion hooks that ensure that the Trac instance keeps in sync with the Subversion repository

Descubierto un fallo de seguridad crítico en Ruby on Rails

Untitled document

[lang_es]El equipo de desarrollo de Ruby on Rails ha anunciado que ha descubierto y corregido un fallo crítico de seguridad y recomienda que todas las sedes web basadas en RoR sean actualizadas inmediatamente.

No se ha publicado todavía la naturaleza y características del fallo, según el equipo de desarrollo para permitir a los usuarios actualizarse antes y evitar posibles ataques.

La actualización es muy sencilla ya que RoR incluye un gestor de actualizaciones automático que permite actualizar el software con una única orden.

Actualización. Segú he leido en Kriptopolis al equipo de desarrollo de Ruby on Rails le ha costado dos intentos solucionar el problema de seguridad detectado.

Todos los detalles y los enlaces a los parches para las distintas versiones de Rails aquí[/lang_es]
