A push from the script?


I think Kevin R. is referring to a job that pull from tx regularly and pushes it to the fedora-web.git repo. The idea is that the hourly website build job wouldn't have to pull *all* the data from tx just the changed ones from the other [tx pull commit to fedora-web.git] job. This would hopefully make the build times faster.

I don't think there's any permissions there to push. It's running as
the apache user, and I don't think it's a good idea to set it up to
commit. If someone broke into that account they could push bad changes
back to the repo. This seems like not a good idea.
 

We were able to do this commit process when Fedora was running their own TX instance. Once it was upgraded that functionality disappeared.

Perhaps some kind of daily job somewhere else...
or perhaps someone could just do it every week or more regularly.

I'd be happy to do it if I knew the exact SOP/process to do so.

Kevin F. I hope this clears a couple of things up.
