-this app's function will be to:
-
-* install it's own tables (#todo: not yet automated)
-* read SE xml dump into DjangoDB (automated)
-* populate osqa database (automated)
-* remove SE tables (#todo: not done yet)
-
-Current process to load SE data into OSQA is:
-==============================================
-
-1) backup database
-
-2) unzip SE dump into dump_dir (any directory name)
- you may want to make sure that your dump directory in .gitignore file
- so that you don't publish it by mistake
-
-3) enable 'stackexchange' in the list of installed apps (probably aready in settings.py)
-
-4) (optional - create models.py for SE, which is included anyway) run:
-
- #a) run in-place removal of xml namspace prefix to make parsing easier
- perl -pi -w -e 's/xs://g' $SE_DUMP_PATH/xsd/*.xsd
- cd stackexchange
- python parse_models.py $SE_DUMP_PATH/xsd/*.xsd > models.py
-
-5) Install stackexchange models (as well as any other missing models)
- python manage.py syncdb
-
-6) make sure that osqa badges are installed
- if not, run (example for mysql):
-
- mysql -u user -p dbname < sql_scripts/badges.sql
-
-7) load SE data:
-
- python manage.py load_stackexchange dump_dir
-
- if anything doesn't go right - run 'python manage.py flush' and repeat
- steps 6 and 7
-
-NOTES:
-============
-
-Here is the load script that I used for the testing
-it assumes that SE dump has been unzipped inside the tmp directory
-
- #!/bin/sh$
- python manage.py flush
- #delete all data
- mysql -u osqa -p osqa < sql_scripts/badges.sql
- python manage.py load_stackexchange tmp
-
-Untested parts are tagged with comments starting with
-#todo:
-
-The test set did not have all the usage cases of StackExchange represented so
-it may break with other sets.
-
-The job takes some time to run, especially
-content revisions and votes - may be optimized
-
-Some of the fringe cases are described in file stackexchange/ANOMALIES
