806141 - Set up cron job to automatically sync the Firebug Swarms repo on github with getfirebug.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task, P4)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

Current Firebug development happens on github. For this reason we also moved the Firebug Swarms repository there now, which was formerly placed in a Subversion repository on Google Code.

This change requires that a new cron job is set up, which synchronizes the github repository with our website, and the old one that synced from SVN to be deleted.

Old repository URL:
https://fbug.googlecode.com/svn/extensions/swarm/branches/swarm1.7/swarms

New repository URL:
https://github.com/firebug/swarms

Must be synced with:
https://getfirebug.com/swarms

For reference, on our side getfirebug.com is managed as an SVN repo, and swarms/ is in turn an external SVN item to said repo.  I'll have to break that functionality, clean up the pieces, and set up a new deployment mechanism.

It's perfectly do-able - I just wanted to make a note of it here. :)

OK, thanks for the notes.

Of course, the other external repos set for getfirebug.com/tests:

https://github.com/firebug/test-result-viewer/trunk result-viewer
https://github.com/firebug/manual-tests/trunk manual
https://github.com/firebug/firebug/trunk/tests/content head
https://github.com/firebug/firebug/branches/firebug1.9/tests/content 1.9
https://github.com/firebug/firebug/branches/firebug1.10/tests/content 1.10
https://github.com/firebug/firebug/branches/firebug1.11/tests/content 1.11
https://github.com/firebug/firebug/trunk/tests/templates templates

Should still work

I haven't touched anything except swarms/ - assuming those elements which you've noted in comment #2 are currently functional, their behaviour should not have changed.

I have completed the operation and updated the production webheads.  Closing this bug.
