582812 - install libjpeg and headers and update permissions on support-stage

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[James Socol [:jsocol, :james]]

We just pushed an image upload facility that requires libjpeg for thumbnail generation and a folder to have world-writable permissions for those images.

We need libjpeg and libjpeg-devel on support-stage. On Fedora I could just install them through yum, so hopefully we don't need to build from source (or we already have RPMs as these are fairly common libs). I have version 6b-46, though I imagine most 6b builds would be fine, as it's been the standard for years.

The next periodic update should rebuild PIL, but if you want to go above-and-beyond, activating the kitsune virtualenv and running this line:

    pip install -U PIL==1.1.7

should end with something like...

    *** TKINTER support not available
    --- JPEG support available
    --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available
    *** FREETYPE2 support not available
    *** LITTLECMS support not available


We also need to run essentially the following from inside the git checkout (/data/www/support-stage-new.mozilla.com/kitsune):

    mkdir media/uploads
    chmod a+rw media/uploads

Installed build 6b-37 of both libjpeg and libjpeg-devel, created the uploads dir and fixed permissions and activated the virtualenv and ran the pip install command.
