provision 5.x-0.1-alpha3

Provision is a component of the Hostmaster system. It provides a command line based back end that manages all the system level configuration required to provision sites and services. It provides a command line interface that the Hosting framework communicates with. It is designed to be used even when no front end is used, but this usage is not supported in our 0.1 releases.

About Hostmaster

The Hostmaster system is a modular, extensible site instance manager, that allows you to manage many Drupal sites through it's Drupal based user interface. New sites are created simply by creating a new Site node. New services and features can be enabled by simply adding new modules to the system. More information is available on our Project Goals and Overview pages on our hm2 group on g.d.o.

About this release

This release fixes some documentation and user experience issues. More information can be found on the Project Roadmap wiki page.

Not in this release:

The primary feature missing is support for multiple install profiles, and more work needs to be done on installation, documentation and user experience. This release is not production ready, so please do not install it outside of a testing environment.

Bugs Fixed:

275741 - Add documentation about httpd.conf requirement to wizard
278632 - tell the user at what time the changes will be effective (patch by anarcat)
275735 - Queue configuration is using the wrong property in display of total items.
275856 - Missing hook_perm in hosting_task.module, so users other than uid 1 can't create new tasks
