[PEPr] Comment on File Formats::File_Karma

anatoly techtonik (http://pear.php.net/user/techtonik) has commented on the proposal for File Formats::File_Karma. Comment: Source code seems to be offline. Some suggestions to make this piece of code really useful: File_CVSAvail is better than File_Karma or File_Avail. Maybe not as pretty, but functional and doesn't mess with distribution in directory called CVS. it is also ok with me to keep the name as File_Avail, but state that this is for handling special CVS administration file. To make it usable some actions should be taken first: pearweb: - modify cvs_acl table to include status of access (request/allowed/reclined) and exact package; - add cvs_acl_history table to track dates and users who made access added/removed; - ad cron job to sync cvs_acl with cvs.php.net avail; - mails to pear/php group if any developer modify his/her CVS Access in PEAR web profile; - mails to package maintainers/leads, who are responsible for this package; - web-interface for this File_Avail to allow/decline CVS access; web-interface: - can be used by: - package maintainers; - pear/php group with CVSROOT avail; file_avail: - tune to use not "avail" file, but "pear_avail" for security reasons - see below; cvs.php.net/cvsroot: - modify cvs_acls file to append pear_avail file to avail before processing and check if every meaningful line of pear_avail ends with path inside pear directory - for the same security reasons; - regexp for the check should be !^avail\|[\w,]+\|(pear/\w+,?)+$!
