As I'm sure you may have figured out with the email from reviewboard, I was finally able to get a code review system working with both email and a post-commit workflow.
Great work, Tim.
On a side note, I've been having success with the rbtools for submitting code reviews as well. I'm planning to submit a config file and add to the blocker tracking app's docs soon.
I just wonder, maybe fedora admins would be willing to give you sufficient rights to manage the fedorahosted reviewboard instance [1]? More teams would benefit from a properly working RB, not just us. We would definitely need to do something about its speed, but I assume that's something our infra team can do easily (move it to a more powerful machine).
The last I talked to them, the plan was to get rid of the fedorahosted instance and move more towards per-project or per-group instances. That might be in the form of openshift or cloud instances.
Either way, until FAS integration works better I don't think that would happen. Rumor has it that there will be an intern working on OpenID functionality for reviewboard this summer, so hopefully it won't be long.
I'm not against the idea of helping to make code reviews in fedorahosted better but it sounds like those plans are pretty much on hold until proper OpenID support exists upstream.
As far as the namespace/DNS entries go, I figured that we could leave it as is for now. If we want to create an qa-devel openshift account, I'm happy to get that set up - now that I've figured out how to get the thing set up I can make a new one without much effort.
Assuming we go ahead with out private RB instance, is it possible to set up a redirect from reviewboard.qa.fedoraproject.org while keeping the URL in the browser bar (i.e. not just a simple http redirect)? Excuse my technical ignorance :-)
Yes, AFAIK, that is possible once we figure out where it'll live for the long term. Whether that method scales well for infra is another question, though. If we go that route, I'd rather not have the instance in my account just for SPOF/busrule reasons.
My thought right now is that we're best off with a wait-and-see approach. While not perfect, I think the current setup will work for now and we can figure out a more permanent home once FAS auth is possible.
