I need write access to /osgeo/downloads/geos so I can write new archives
in, and so I can set up the regular generation of the doxygen builds and
changelogs from GEOS. Also, whether it is preferred to run those processes
on upload or download would be good knowledge.

{{{/osgeo/download/geos}}} is group writable for users and upload/download
are now the same machine (198.202.74.218).

Comment(by pramsey):

The machine seems lacking in "stuff"... no 'svn', no 'doxygen'. Is anyone
else building out snapshots here?

Paul,

We are not generating the GDAL (or I think the mapserver) snapshots on the
download system any more. At least for GDAL I do it on the projects vm
and keep the latest snapshot on the web site instead of the download site.

Among other things this reduces the churn on the mirrored download site.
It also keeps non-downloading work off the download server.

It looks like the chown for /osgeo/download/geos is taken care of, perhaps
by jef?

Chown is handled, so I can drop download bundles now, but the problem I
actually set out to solve was the missing doxygen and svn snaps, which it
sounds like I am discouraged from running on upload/download. Any
suggestions on alternate locales for doing that?

As I mentioned, I've been doing it on the ProjectsVM.

In the past I maintained the upload/download machines as distinct things
so the upload machine could be used to do stuff like snapshots, etc. Now
we don't have a spare available blade for that.

The downside to doing stuff on the ProjectsVM is that it is not so easy to
push things to the download server and cleanup up old versions.

I have access to the ProjectsVM? Could it mount /osgeo/downloads to make
life easier on the pushing side?

Paul,

Yes you have access to the projects vm (some info is at
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/ProjectsVM).

We can't practically cross mount the download's disk here since it is a
different data center. I'm not keen on cross-country nfs mounts though
possibly I'm just to conservative.

OK, getting closer... accessing that box. Now, if I could have
geos.osgeo.org pointed there, /osgeo/geos created and chowned to me. and
an apache vhost entry added that exposes /osgeo/geos as geos.osgeo.org,
I'll be ready to go :slight_smile:
