== Hostmasters ==

== Editing zone data ==
 +
 +
We use distributed version control and admin scripts to arbitrate edits to the zone files and nameserver configurations.
 +
'''DO NOT EDIT THESE FILES LOCALLY''' without first confirming with all hostmasters.
 +
 +
=== Checkout nameserver config ===
 +
 +
To simplify merging, each hostmaster pushes to a separate branch:
 +
 +
git clone root@lightwave.sugarlabs.org:/var/lib/bind/etc/bind ns
 +
git config --add remote.origin.push '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/USERNAME/*'
 +
 +
'''FIXME''': use an unprivileged group "hostmaster" rather than root.
 +
 +
== Edit zone data ==
 +
 +
TODO
 +
 +
* Please keep the zone files tidy, by following indentation style
 +
 +
* Add comments as needed to describe obscure records in the zone files
 +
 +
* Remember to keep reverse zones always up to date
 +
 +
== Push changes back to master nameserver ==
 +
 +
* First, update and resolve conflicts, if any:
 +
 +
git pull
 +
 +
* We push to our own branches and then merge into the sandbox:
 +
 +
git push
 +
ssh root@lightwave.sugarlabs.org "cd /var/lib/bind/etc/bind && git merge remotes/USERNAME"
