Because Django apps want to touch both ~/web_scripts and ~/Scripts, this sounds like it might be a little fiddly to do with Wizard. I suspect that Wizard really wants to grow support for installing a Django app into ~/Scripts/django that automatically sets up ~/web_scripts (since that's ~constant between apps), but that requires actual work that I don't want to do right now...

There is now an INSTALL file with instructions on how to install Remit.

There is now a sorta-functional auto-installer that lives in /mit/remit/web_scripts/wizard.

Major issues:

  • It probably wants a wrapper script that usefully calls Wizard.
  • The handling of the "webstub" is quite suboptimal. This probably requires talking with Edward about what preferred behavior would be.
  • The auto-installer should either create BudgetTerms? and BudgetAreas? or remind you to go create them

  • Priority changed from major to blocker

The first and second issues above have been handled. BudgetTerms? and BudgetAreas? still aren't created.
