faq-o-matic for sourceware projects

[Frank Ch. Eigler]

Hi -

While trying to set up faq-o-matic servers for cgen & sid,
I found that none of the sourceware-side pages are at
all functional.  Permission and other problems exist
throughout.  However, the gcc.gnu.org-side one is fine.
Can someone fix the sourceware side ones, or shall I try?

I have no problems with your trying.  I don't know about Tom and Jeff
but I don't have time to track this down now.

Can you document what you had to do, though?

I've been hoping to get some time to hack sources next week.
Dunno yet.

That would be nice.
And if there are bugs in create-fom feel free to fix them... :-)

My best guess is that files which need to be owned by "webuser" are currently
owned by root.  I'm investigating.

The fix for create-fom might be as simple as a su webuser at an appropriate
point.

Precisely what do I need to do to expose one of the permission
problems?

In addition to wrong ownerships, there's a bug in the script that is
creating the project specific FOMs -- specifically it's forgetting a
training '/' in one of the configuration items.

As a result of that mis-configuration, FOM is trying to put data for
each FOM entry into the root directory which of course it doesn't
really have proper permissions to do and we blow up.

I've twiddled the cgen FOM configuration and I think it's functional now.  I'm
going to fix the other config files, then the script which creates them...

Anyway, give the cgen thingie a whirl and see if you can add items now...
