I want to get rid of the ICPC-live branch as soon as possible after the finals. I also think that we should do this first before we do any further symfony migration.

This is a list of the differences to get the discussion started (I probably missed some things):

1) entry_point handling

Options:

a) add a global configuration 

b) always require an entry_point if the language itself requires an entry_point

c) detect entry_point on domserver

I would go with b). By default we can use compile scripts that auto-detect and configure languages as such.

In a setting primary/shadow setting, we can require entry points as we do now.

- results/tsv export scripts

There's no reason to disable these.

- have only one database scheme, i.e. include columns for external_ids and _results

- why don't we always use the contest shortname as ID in the API?

- can we drop the expected result in favor of external results? (note that we didn't do a comparison on testcase level in the past but might want to do it in the future)

- external_ids and _results can be used even in primary mode where we could fetch the results from the secondary

4) display test case results in submission lists

Options:

a) make it configurable (either per contest or globally)

b) always display them (for jury of course)

I don't think the test case results clutter the submission page too much, so I would just keep them always on for simpler code.

5) removed time intervals

The code in calcContestTime looks fairly simple. The UI only affects the contest page. Did I miss anything?

Best,
