Implementation for: http://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2550731 Add mechanism for the detectors to be able to tell the source of the data changes. Support for tx_Source property on database handle. Can be used by detectors to find out the source of a change in an auditor to block changes arriving by unauthenticated mechanisms (e.g. plain email where headers can be faked). The property db.tx_Source has the following values: * None - Default value set to None. May be valid if it's a script that is created by the user. Otherwise it's an error and indicates that some code path is not properly setting the tx_Source property. * "cli" - this string value is set when using roundup-admin and supplied scripts. * "web" - this string value is set when using any web based technique: html interface, xmlrpc .... * "email" - this string value is set when using an unauthenticated email based technique. * "email-sig-openpgp" - this string value is set when email with a valid pgp signature is used. (*NOTE* the testing for this mode is incomplete. If you have a pgp infrastructure you should test and verify that this is properly set.) This also includes some (possibly incomplete) tests cases for the modes above and an example of using ts_Source in the customization.txt document.

Roundup Tracker Templates
=========================

The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory
nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically
``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and
on Windows this is ``c:\python22\share\roundup\templates\``.

The template loading looks in four places to find the templates:

1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is
   installed.
2. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../templates/*``.
   This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source)
   directory.
3. ``<current working dir>/*``.
   This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template.
4. ``<current working dir>``.
   This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir.

Templates contain:

- modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py``
- directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions``
  (with appropriate contents)
- template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains
  the name of the template, a description of the template
  and its intended audience.

An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt::

 Name: classic
 Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to track bugs,
              feature requests, project issues or any number of other types
              of issues. Most users of Roundup will find that this template
              suits them, with perhaps a few customisations.
 Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
