The migration had a problem where other tables still referenced the migration
as well as a typo in an earlier migration. They have both been fixed and tested
on PostgreSQL and SQLite3.
This also fixes a bug where sometimes when creating an activity it'd raise an
Exception as the object hadn't got an ID. This has been fixed globally with a
fix to the create_activity federation tool.
This fixes the problem where GenericForeignKey could only be used with models
that are in the core of Mediagoblin, it now can be used with any model
that SQLAlchemy knows about, including plugins. This also fixes some small bugs
caused by incorrect ordering of params into a function.
The user_dev directory gets created when users get established
and they start uploading media. However, the permissions aren't
correct on the directory as it gets created.
As a workaround, we create the directory at this stage, and then
set the proper permissions.

When transcoding a video using a recent version of PIL transcoding a
video fails reproducible. The reason for this is an AttributeError:
'module' object has no attribute 'frombytes'gets raised, while a
thumbnails is being created. This is because frombytes alias was
deprecated in favor of fromstring.
For some reason, celery wouldn't start if I started it first.
Setting paster to start first. Celery starts just fine on initial run
after paster is running.
Added nginx to installation packages. We say that our install uses
nginx, so users should skip nginx if they want to use apache. Also,
our group permissions depend on a web server being installed.
Changed install directory for mediagoblin acct to /var/lib/mediagoblin
It works better if we need to back up data.
Assigned mediagoblin user to the same group as the web server. This
is needed so that the server can access uploaded media.
Created mediagoblin group for non-web-server things such as logs.
Debian-based platforms start the postgres server by default after
installation. For RPM-based distros, we've already issued these
commands prior to configuring the postgres server.
Need to enable / start postgres database on rpm-based distros
before you create the postgres mediagoblin user and database.
If you don't start the database server, you can't create a
database user or database.
The chkconfig command is only needed on CentOS 6, which isn't really
a supported multimedia platform. CentOS 7 and Fedora 21+
wouldn't require this command.
Also made the "exit" command (used after setting up the postgres
mediagoblin account and database) more explicit. This will help prevent
user errors for users who may skim through the documentation.
Some scripts on the internet have referenced paste_local.ini, so
it is safer to have a copy on the filesystem by default, even if
the user doesn't need to change any of the values for a regular
setup.
Previous media type docs referenced gstreamer0.10, but we've updated
to gstreamer1.0.
Also, Debian ships libav instead of ffmpeg now. Updated docs
accordingly
Finally, simplified the install instructions to two commands instead
of four commands.
