tcms-api 5.3 package incompatible with Windows - kiwi-tcms

I attempted to upgrade my tcms-api library from 5.0 to 5.3 using:
pip install tcms-api --upgrade
on a Windows 10 machine, I saw a lot of errors when trying to install the dependent package of kerberos. Even though this is old, I saw a similar set of errors. The package installation failed since the kerberos package isn't supported on Windows and I was left at tcms-api 5.0.

Please file a bug against https://github.com/kiwitcms/tcms-api.
We can do a quick fix by providing 2 package names:
tcms-api and tcms-api[kerberos]
The first one will not install the kerberos package.
The proposed workaround makes sense but changing the underlying kerberos implementation needs careful testing which isn't a quick job.
OTOH https://github.com/kiwitcms/python-social-auth-kerberos uses gssapi which seems to be the latest and most actively maintained implementation of Kerberos for Python. There is an open issue to migrate to that in tcms-api so you can contribute if you want.

As a workaround, I was able to do the following (caveat: I haven't extensively tested my installation yet):
Clone the tcms-api repo from GitHub
Edit setup.py to change the install_requires line to use 'kerberos-sspi' rather than 'kerberos'
Install the following pip packages: Setuptools, Wheel, Twine
CD to repo folder and run: python setup.py bdist_wheel
That creates a package under the dist folder
Run pip install dist\tcms_api-5.3-py3-none-any.whl
Celebrate successful package install
The steps were modified from this page.
Update:
I confirmed the things I need the API to do work with my custom package (create and update test runs). However, I'm in a situation where I don't need to specifically harden my Kiwi instance using kerberos authentication.

Installing mongodb-enterprise-server error

Hello guys. Can someone help me about this one? I cant install mongodb because of dependency problem. I already tried updating my linux mint terminal.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mongodb-enterprise-server:
mongodb-enterprise-server depends on libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2); however:
Package libcurl3 is not installed.
mongodb-enterprise-server depends on snmp; however:
Package snmp is not installed.
Installing via dpkg -i mongodb.deb will not include additional package dependencies. You should be able to fix your installation by following up with sudo apt --fix-broken install.
Unless you have strong reasons to avoid the standard process I would recommend following the tutorial to Install MongoDB Enterprise by adding the appropriate repo definitions. Adding the normal package repo will also make it easier for you to update to newer minor releases of MongoDB 4.0.x.

Can't find dev_appserver.py with gcloud installation

I've installed gcloud by following the instructions on:
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstart-debian-ubuntu
gcloud is in my path at /usr/bin/gcloud, but the package doesn't seem to have dev_appserver.py in my path. Is it installed? How do I run it?
Platform: Ubuntu 16.04
Edit: By running dpkg -L google-cloud-sdk I've found it at /usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.py but when I try to run it I get:
This action requires the installation of components: [app-engine-
python]
You cannot perform this action because this Cloud SDK installation is
managed by an external package manager. If you would like to get the
Also not sure why it wasn't added to my path.
I know the original question concerns Ubuntu, but I just wanted to share some notes for macOS/OS X in case it's helpful for someone else.
I installed the google-cloud-sdk via Homebrew-Cask and overlooked the caveats note:
brew cask install google-cloud-sdk
After installing the SDK cask, I installed the Python App Engine component, as #Rodney Jonace mentioned:
gcloud components install -q app-engine-python
Going back to the caveats note mentioned above, I appended the following the my ~/.zshrc file:
source $(brew --prefix)/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc
source $(brew --prefix)/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc
Opening a new terminal tab, I was able to call the extra Python App Engine scripts (e.g., dev_appserver.py) and use the Zsh completions. Hope that helps!
The following articles were also useful:

http://www.rainbowbreeze.it/how-to-setup-a-google-app-engine-python-environment-on-mac-osx-using-homebrew/
The google-cloud-sdk deb package comes with the built-in component manager disabled, which is preventing that copy of dev_appserver.py from working through gcloud. If you update your apt-cache, you can install the google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-python and/or google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-java packages that have just started to be published. Directions here:

Microsoft's Node.JS driver does not work

I tried following this but with no luck.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlphp/archive/2012/06/08/introducing-the-microsoft-driver-for-node-js-for-sql-server.aspx
Every time I try to build it, it fails.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why does it fail to build. I am also using the latest version of Node if that helps.
Thanks for your question. Just to clarify you are using the msnodesql driver right?
One of the reasons that you might not be able to build is because you are using the latest node version.
The Microsoft Node.js driver is not forward compatible. The next version is in the pipeline. In the meanwhile you will have to downgrade your node.js version to 0.8.9.
Additionally there are a few other requirements. Follow these steps and you should be good.
Node.js – Version 0.8.9 (32 bit version). Make sure you download the x86 version and not the x64 version. You might have to uninstall your current version and re-install this version to ensure compatibility.
Python 2.7.6.
Visual C++ 2010 - the Express edition is freely available from Microsoft.
SQL Server Native Client 11.0 - available as Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client found in the SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack.
Then just enter these in your node.js command prompt
1. npm install msnodesql
2. npm install -g node-gyp
3. node-gyp configure
4. node-gyp build
You should now see a build folder inside msnodel.
Navigate to build > release. Copy the sqlserver.node file and paste it in the msnodesql > lib folder. Replace the old file if needed.
Now you can follow the rest of the instructions on the blog you mentioned which will help you with connection string and connecting to your db. Let me know if you are still stuck.
Thanks

how to create a debian package using “equivs-build” which can be “upgraded” if already installed?

I have created a .deb package using equivs-build command and providing necessary control, preinst, postinst, etc. I noticed that version can also be mentioned in control file. Now I want to create a .deb package with updated source code and I want to enable user to upgrade the package if it is already installed (and is of previous version, of course), as I won't be changing conf related files, etc. One way I can think of is to write a shell-script which will first check for installed version, and will take actions accordingly (i.e. if installed, just update the source-code, database-migrations, etc. and if not, install the package using dpkg -i <package-name>). I was wondering if there was a way to achieve using dpkg only (something like dpkg upgrade <package-name>) which will handle installation or up-gradation as required.
That's already how it works.
dpkg -i package_0.123.deb will upgrade if the version of package is less than 0.123, removing the previous version if necessary (there's an option to force a downgrade, too). apt-get install package will install the newest version of package, removing the old one and upgrading to a new one if necessary. apt-get upgrade will upgrade all packages to the newest version.
Basically, just take care to monotonically upgrade the version number each time you publish a new build.
If you didn't specify a version previously, the default will be something simple like 1.0. Just make it bigger than that.
