Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Our AMO preview site https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ has stopped auto-updating; it has a cron job that's supposed to pull ~ every 15 minutes from the latest SVN (trunk?)

For instance, it's missing both bug 448001 (r17398) and bug 447989 (r17401), which have landed and been verified in production, but are missing on https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

Since we've had this auto-update break many times now, is it possible to put it into nagios (or similar) somehow, so that problems can be noticed before somebody scratches their head saying "wait a minute, my commit isn't showing up"?

This is why it's broken:

[root@mradm02 addons.mozilla.org-preview]# svn up
Conflict discovered in 'site/app/config/revisions.php'.
Select: (p) postpone, (df) diff-full, (e) edit,
        (h) help for more options: 

The build script we were asked to add to preview is changing a file that's in svn... that won't work, as every time somebody commits a change to that file, it'll conflict on the server. I'm disabling the build script until something else is worked out.

ok, it's updated. Reopened bug 446648 to deal with build script problems.

What do you recommend as a way to check this?
