Re: [Vim-latex-devel] site CVS

[Srinath A. <sr...@fa...>]

Hey Mikolaj,

I just fixed the web page screwup. The problem before was that the
groups htdocs/ directory was checked out with

cvs -d:ext:srinathava@cvs1 ...

Thats why it asked you for my password last time.

Now I have checked it out with anonymous pserver. I have also changed
the permissions of the htdocs/ directory to be group writable. Therefore
anyone should be able to log into sf.net, change to the groups htdocs
directory and run

cvs update -q

You can also optionally cd to htdocs/packages and do a

cvs update -q

NOTE: The htdocs/packages directory is a local repository copy of
'vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/packages' module not the
'htdocs/packages' module. I will actually remove the htdocs/pacakges
from the master CVS sometime soon.

NOTE 2: I need to do similar things to the htdocs/templates directory...

I think therefore that a cron job can be simplified to:

-----------------------%<-----------------------
#!/bin/sh

# update the htdocs directory
cd /home/groups/v/vim/vim-latex/htdocs; cvs -q update
# update the packages directory
cd /home/groups/v/vim/vim-latex/htdocs/packages; cvs -q update
-----------------------%<-----------------------

This will I think be also a bit more robust.

I do not have a good idea about how to set up cron jobs. If you want,
you can go ahead and do it using your sf.net account.

NOTE: The web-page now points to the latest "raw" CVS version of the
htdocs module... This means that some of the things point to
comingsoon.inc, and the links link is broken (the irony!)

I am also thinking of making syncmail send emails for commits to the
htdocs/ module. If the subscribers to vim-latex-cvs object, I will
reconsider.

Thanks,

Srinath
