== Hostmasters ==
* Bernie Innocenti <bernie@codewiz.org>
* (others to be added when this documentation is finished)
== 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"
