Re: Toaster weekly call

[Michael Wood <michael.g.wood@intel.com>]

We were: David, Alex, Michael, Mihail and Ionut

David - Back working on Toaster. Catching up with all the changes. 
Issues configuring the admin interface and getting the initial setup 
working for managed mode.

Alex - Continuing working on feature to support downloading artefacts. 
Up streaming a new bitbake running mode to help support this and running 
using the autobuilder

Michael - Worked on the Import layer feature, some error reporting and 
now working on layer details page.

Mihail - Testing UI features, discovered a few bugs and filed in 
bugzilla, few more to come. Continue to work on UI testing automation. 
Working on a few more test cases.

Ionut - Mainly working validating 1.8M1 especially managed mode in 
toaster, opening a bugs on bugzilla. Looking to add further tests. Also 
continuing looking into UI automation work

Opens:

In order to get toaster up and running in managed mode a different way 
of starting it is required by using

$ TOASTER_MANAGED=1 ./bitbake/bin/toaster

This should prompt for various options, including setting up an optional 
django admin user (currently the only thing the admin user can do is 
edit a few defaults).

Note TOASTER_MANAGED mode is still under heavy development.

Definitions

Hosted mode or remote mode -  is where toaster and bitbake are different 
servers.
Local mode - is where bitbake and toaster are on the same server. Either 
mode are also available to be used in Interactive mode or Managed mode.
Managed mode -  allows you to trigger buids, have a project, import 
layers, edit your build etc
Interactive mode - just shows you the build information about a build 
that you've triggered (e.g. from the command line)

Toastconf.json

toasterconf.json which can be found in the meta/conf directory in poky 
is used for "bootstrapping" the database with current layers and 
releases so that you can get started using toaster quickly.
