Thread: Update Commitfest requirements and README

Hello,

While trying something out on the Commitfest, I found that the README
and the dependencies are quite outdated. It still requires Django 1.8, as example.
And a couple modules are missing, which are not listed in the dependencies.

Attached patch takes a first shot at this problem, updates dependencies and
README to Django 3.2 and adds all missing modules (so far).

This brings the website into a state where it at least starts.
But then when I try to login, I run into this error:

'Settings' object has no attribute 'PGAUTH_REDIRECT'

Apparently the example settings for local_settings.py are incomplete.


Thanks,

Yeah, this looks cvorrect. Applied.

yeah. You need to set PGAUTH_REDIRECT and PGAUTH_KEY to have it
integrate with a local pgweb. I think the intention was at some point
to make it usable without that, and just with local accounts, but it
doesn't appear to be -- either that was never done or it has gone
broken over time. I think you can make it work locally by just
commenting out all references to the "pgcommitfest.auth" module from
urls.py?
