Test Instaget and Build Source

Alright so I think I’m done with the media side of things for now, now it’s time to see if the source builds and if not get the necessary stuff to make it work. Start creating the nightlies structure as well.

Refactor InstaGet

Refactor Instaget so that it uses the ini configuration file. Make sure nothing no longer needs external programs from the repository. Incorporate getForBase and getHere.

After finished, make sure to change URL/repository structure for nightlies and binhashes, reinstate the cron job, get everything running again. When done, update wikis.

Make InstaPack Use External Zip Program

Don’t use the Python ZipFile module anymore in Instapack since this seems to be causing random issues with TIP not recognizing the archives’ contents. Like with the models problem I had with TugZip. Instead write the Instapack script so that it uses the external Zip program like the old pak scripts did. Most Operating Systems already have the Zip program. Code the script so that if it’s on Windows and the Zip program is not present, it wget’s the program (Run this check on every run). This should solve the problem and should be faster too, as well as more consistent. Just have to remember to do the exclusions in the zip command.

Wiki Integrated: Site Completely Integrated

Alright, so now everything is integrated with phpBB3’s user database. If you’re registered, you can login to the blog to comment (And if you’re a developer you can post), and you can also login to the wiki to make edits and pages and stuff. Let me know if you have any problems!

Licensing Page Updated

I reorganized the Licensing page. It should be a lot more clear now. So if you’re thinking about contributing content, give that page a read. If it’s still confusing, let me know.
