Setup hg1.adblockplus.org

[matze]

In order to properly integrate ​https://hg.adblockplus.org/ with the infrastructure module, a server for the new hgweb module needs to be setup and synchronized with the current repositories.

The last spare-server of the smaller model has been prepared for provisioning: Operating system is installed, DNS records have been setup, RAID sync is in progress (~2h).

A new spare-server to replace this one has been ordered as well.

Note that the code-review for this very ticket here can be done already; the required changes are quite obvious and should be approved soon-ish (not at roll-out time), in order to ease testing and the application of possible subsequent patches to module hgweb (see #2867), as well as to include the host with Nagios already.

This ticket is still open because of ​a bugfix in review. The issue has been discovered and hot-fixed directly after deployment a few weeks ago: Diff views did not show up properly (colors where missing) because the wrong /static/ file resources (esp. CSS files) where used.

Note that this is not a bug caused by the Puppet code in module hgweb, but by the manual setup done in the context of the GitHub synchronization, which is not integrated with Puppet yet. Thus the chosen approach simply allows for choosing the static file location via Hiera, defaulting to the package version.

Just integrating the remaining bits, on the other hand, may not even be worth the effort. At least not yet. And, as mentioned in #2867, we should consider using a more sophisticated repository server software if the current setup does not fulfill our requirements anyway.
