We upgraded playdoh in https://github.com/mozilla/mozillians/commit/c786a8025aa1b71f809bf76de24a3687d4e4fdb5. We deployed this to dev, and doing so required a number of manual configuration steps (which :jd did). 

We'd like to push this change to staging next (in the next several days), and we'll need IT help for it. The below list _should_ cover all the things needed. I will schedule a time for this with :jd, and he'll hand it off if necessary. 

1. Sync down latest from master branch on github. Just manually do the top of the update.py script:
git fetch
git checkout -f REV (origin/master)
git submodule sync
it submodule update --init --recursive
find . -type f -name '.gitignore' -or -name '*.pyc' -delete

2. Move the local.py file: It moved from settings/local.py to mozillians/settings/local.py. This file is not under puppet for mozillians, it is a local file.
From FQDN folder:
mv mozillians/settings/local.py mozillians/mozillians/settings/local.py

3. Delete old directories:
PWD=FQDN folder
rm -rf $PWD/mozillians/apps
rm -rf $PWD/mozillians/settings
rm -rf $PWD/mozillians/vendor-local/src/django (it may not exist: didn't exist on dev)

4. Modify mozillians/settings/local.py:
* Remove the line 'from settings import *'
* Add the line 'import logging'
* Add the line 'import socket'
* Change how CACHE is defined:
Change this:
CACHES['default']['LOCATION'] = 'memcache-generic01:11211;memcache-generic02:11211'
To this:
CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
        'LOCATION': 'memcache-generic01:11211;memcache-generic02:11211',
    }
}

5. Set SITE_URL after PORT line at the top of the settings file
SITE_URL = 'https://mozillians.allizom.org'
SITE_URL = 'https://mozillians.org' <-- just mozillians.org, no?:) OOPS :)

6. Continue deployment. (AKA run Chief)
If things break on 'python2.6 manage.py cron index_all_profiles' from the update.py script which is run by chief just run a manual '/data/genericBLAH/deploy site'. The only thing missed will be 'manage.py cron validate_fun_facts' -- it's not critical.

Please disregard the commentary after SITE_URL, it's an artifact. Those SITE_URLs are correct.

Comment 2

[Jason Crowe [:jd]]

This has been completed. The only thing we did a bit differently was to use chief for the update in step 1. This worked well as chief ran just the update portion and then failed on the first manage.py command (as it had no local.py file).
