Updated makefiles to comply to new directory structure and also to use builder
for building Web UI.
FreeIPA package spec is modified to use the output of the builder.

Certificate renewal can be done only one one CA as the certificates need
to be shared amongst them. certmonger has been trained to communicate
directly with dogtag to perform the renewals. The initial CA installation
is the defacto certificate renewal master.
A copy of the certificate is stored in the IPA LDAP tree in
cn=ca_renewal,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$SUFFIX, the rdn being the nickname of the
certificate, when a certificate is renewed. Only the most current
certificate is stored. It is valid to have no certificates there, it means
that no renewals have taken place.
The clones are configured with a new certmonger CA type that polls this
location in the IPA tree looking for an updated certificate. If one is
not found then certmonger is put into the CA_WORKING state and will poll
every 8 hours until an updated certificate is available.
The RA agent certificate, ipaCert in /etc/httpd/alias, is a special case.
When this certificate is updated we also need to update its entry in
the dogtag tree, adding the updated certificate and telling dogtag which
certificate to use. This is the certificate that lets IPA issue
certificates.
On upgrades we check to see if the certificate tracking is already in
place. If not then we need to determine if this is the master that will
do the renewals or not. This decision is made based on whether it was
the first master installed. It is concievable that this master is no
longer available meaning that none are actually tracking renewal. We
will need to document this.

The .po files we use for translations have two shortcomings when used in Git:
- They include file locations, which change each time the source is updated.
This results in large, unreadable diffs that don't merge well.
- They include source strings for untranslated messages, wasting space
unnecessarily.
Update the Makefile so that the extraneous information is stripped when the
files are updated or pulled form Transifex, and empty translation files are
removed entirely.
Also, translations are normalized to a common style. This should help diffs
and merges.
The validator requires file location comments to identify the programming
language, and to produce good error reports.
To make this work, merge the comments in before validation.
First patch for: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2435
certmonger now has the ability to execute a script when it renews a
certificate. This can be used to automatically restart servers so
the certificate doesn't expire in the running server.

Building the ipa rpms returns this:
warning: File listed twice: /usr/share/ipa/ui/extension.js
This is because of a glob:
%{_usr}/share/ipa/ui/*.js
and then more specifically:
%config(noreplace) %{_usr}/share/ipa/ui/extension.js
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2253
ticket 1650 (https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1650) has
an extensive discussion of the issues, please refer to that.
This patch does the following:
* does not count fuzzy translations when computing translation
statistics via the "msg-stats" make target in install/po
* adds a new make target called "pull-po" which pulls updated po files
from Transifex (configure.ac includes some trailing whitespace fixes)
* turns off the generation of fuzzy translation suggestions during the
message merge phase.
The code for supporting custom layouts using HTML templates has been
removed. If it's needed again in the future the code can be restored.
Ticket #1501
The UI framework has been extended to include a collection of widgets:
- ipa_widget: base class
- ipa_text_widget: text field
- ipa_radio_widget: radio button
- ipa_textarea_widget: textarea
- ipa_button_widget: button
- ipa_column_widget: column for table
- ipa_table_widget: table
These widgets can be used to create input controls. They can also be
extended to create custom controls.
The framework has also been enhanced to support custom layouts. This
can be used to change the look of the application without changing
the code. Initially this is only available in details section.
Layout consists of a collection of HTML templates. Each template is a
complete and valid HTML file representing a portion of a page. The
template will be loaded and initialized by the code, then filled with
the data from the server. The layouts are located in
install/static/layouts/<name> folder.
By default, if no templates are used, the fields in the details page
are rendered vertically using dd/dt/dd tags. For pages that require
different layout, a custom UI needs to be developed. There are two ways
to do that:
- write a custom widget to generate the UI dynamically
- create an HTML template and write the initialization code
For components that are quite complex or used frequently, it's might
be better to use the first method. For simple pages that are used only
in one location or need to support customization, the second method
might be preferable. Other benefits of templates:
- cleaner code and UI separation
- more flexibility in customization
- new pages can be developed quickly and require less coding
- multiple templates can be used with the same initialization code
- easier to maintain
The HBAC details page has been implemented using both methods. By
default it will use custom widgets to generate the page. To use a
custom layout, add the following parameter to the URL, then reload
the page:
&layout=<name>
Currently the only available layout is 'default' which produces the
same look as the custom widgets.
The HBAC details page is usable, but it still needs additional work.
The access time is not working yet. There is no undo button, hint,
or validation yet.
The table in the association facet has also been changed to use
ipa_association_widget which is derived from ipa_table_widget.
The Makefile has been updated to include the layouts. The unit tests
have been updated as well.
The Makefile in install/po has a new target "msg-stats" which
prints out statistics concerning the current pot and po files.
Here is an example:
% make msg-stats
ipa.pot has 133 messages
id.po: 107/133 80.5% 13 po untranslated, 13 missing, 26 untranslated
kn.po: 4/133 3.0% 116 po untranslated, 13 missing, 129 untranslated
pl.po: 120/133 90.2% 0 po untranslated, 13 missing, 13 untranslated
Also update configure.ac to search for msgcmp, awk & sed programs.
A new directory install/po has been added which contains all
the translations for all files in IPA.
The build has been agumented to build these files. Also the
autogen.sh script was mostly replaced by autoreconf, the preferred
method. The old autogen.sh sript also had some serious bugs in the
way it compared versions which caused it to run old versions of some
of the tools, using standared autoreconf is much better.
I have only tested the all, rpms and *clean targets directly.
install may work but the rpm moves a lot of things around for us.
The Apache configuration file isn't in its final state but it works
with the new mod_python configuration.
