QuickplayWeb

What's this?

• Build and release tools for QuickPlay Frontend at sourceforge
• A website management tool (using MAMP) for The Quickplay Hosted Website
• The code for the above website
• MySQL backup and management for the above website

Why?

This allows for agile release of Quickplay and easy update of the sites. Links exist between the two e.g.: current version tracking, that's why these functions go together

features

• Git tag-based automatic release versioning
• Git tag also used to interactively makes project changelogs, and html-ifies them (using pandoc) for the site
• diff checks before we overwrite the remote www with local changes
• Fires up local or remote command-line, ssh, sql sessions (with hints!)
• We use the sourceforge API key functionality to create release folder structure and naming at sourceforge
• interactive ssh sessions after automated work (using expect)
• regex-replaced secrets for each use (local, remote, github) get checked
• www code wasnt safe as evidenced by spam in the DB - made mysqli prepared statement alternative (since SF's site doesn't support MySQLi::GetResult) (use pdo in future!)

to run the build/release tool
