Description

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Howdy, starting sometime last week i started receiving emails from a cron job. I am getting these every 10 minutes.

Are these signs of trouble? If not, please turn this off.

The cron job that automatically updates the -dev site for start.mozilla.org is failing.  Specifically, the script is trying to update the locale directory from an SVN repository that no longer exists.  

If start.mozilla.org is, in essence, "frozen" and won't be getting updates, it should be okay to just remove the cron job.  If the locales SVN repository has moved, I'll need to know where it has moved to and update the update job for -dev, -stage, and -prod appropriately.

(For now, I've commented out the cron job to reduce immediate pain and suffering.)

:mathjazz, by any chance, do you know if this repo is one that was involved in the Pontoon work recently?

Comment 4

[Matjaz Horvat [:mathjazz]]

This is not related to Pontoon, but we did in fact move several l10n projects from SVN to GitHub this week. See bug 1245411.

The new repo URL is:
https://github.com/mozilla-l10n/fx36start-l10n/

CCing flod if you need more information on this.

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

This is caused by bug 1245081 and
https://github.com/mozilla/fx36start/pull/16

I moved the folder into an /obsolete subfolder to avoid people trying to commit to SVN.
https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/l10n-misc/trunk/obsolete/fx36start/locale/

The new repository is at 
https://github.com/mozilla-l10n/fx36start-l10n/

Unfortunately I've asked for a few months who owns this project and failed to find someone, so I'm not sure which is the proper solution for this bug.

@jpetto: Looking at previous bugs, I think you've been involved with start.mozilla.org in the past.  I've changed the -dev environment for start.mozilla.org to update the locale directory from git rather than from SVN.  Can you confirm that the dev environment works properly before I make similar updates to -stage and -prod?

I've temporarily changed the cron job that updates the -dev environment to send output to me.  So far (the last thirty minutes), it's been quiet.  =)

Just downloaded Fx 3.6 on a VM and hand-checked some -dev URLs [1]. All appear to be displaying correctly.

Coordinating with jpetto over IRC, the changes on -dev were applied to -stage and -prod.  I've re-enabled the cron job that automatically pushes changes to -dev.
