Instead of configuring storage X by parameters in the main
section "X_class = backend" and "X_param = value", use a
new section in the config: "[storage:X]" and use "class =
backend" and "param = value" there.
This is the beginning, it includes a try at being backward
compatible. But that try isn't really fully useful anyway.
The default name of the database ("mediagoblin") was coded
in db/open.py and init/celery/__init__.py.
Instead use the new config system to have this as the
default for the "db_name" config option.
This is a huge change! This means several things.
- From the python point of view, launching the application is a heck
of a lot cleaner. You just need to pass in the config file path to
MediaGoblinApp's __init__() and whether or not this funtion should
setup celery and you're good.
- There are now two separate config files, separating the server
setup from the application setup.
- server.ini: the paste deploy config file, which configures the
applications and server setup but *NOT* the mediagoblin application
itself.
- mediagoblin.ini: where you configure mediagoblin (and possibly celery)
- Launching the application is now different. Instead of:
./bin/paster serve mediagoblin.ini --reload
We launch like:
./bin/paster serve server.ini --reload
