[Savannah-hackers] web sync and gnudist.gnu.org

[Vincent Caron]

Hello hackers,

  gnudist has been unreachable for a couple of weeks now, and the 
sv_sync_www script has not been able to do its job. I would like to 
notify our future savior who will hopefully fix this that I wrote a Perl 
replacement for this script a few weeks ago as promised. Thanks to test 
cases provided in the original C code by Gordon Matzigkeit, I could 
check that it behaves identically. It does pretty logging by itself, so 
the current invocation in CVSROOT/loginfo :

ALL     (date; id -un ; cat; (sleep 2; 
/subversions/sourceforge/bin/sv_sync_www %{s} ) < /dev/null >> 
/var/log/sv_sync_www.log 2>&1 & ) >> /var/log/sv_sync_www.log 2>&1

should become :

ALL     ( /subversions/savannah/bin/sv_sync_www.pl %s & ) >> 
/var/log/sv_sync_www.log 2>&1

Of course someone will have to update the local install of the Savannah 
dist, for now it's only available at 
/usr/local/savannah/src/savannah/backend/gnu-specific/sv_sync_www.pl
