I see. That's not as frequently as I had hoped. And it will be affected by any problems that cause puppet to fail. I think we need to ask Infra if the code can be updated more like svnpubsub. Or alternatively I suppose we could add a function to update the code on demand (with suitable auth). >> And where is the cronjob defined? > > I don't know how puppet works, but here is relevant portion of the > puppet manifest: > > https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-puppet/blob/deployment/modules/whimsy_server/manifests/init.pp#L58 Thanks. >> Or does it use a constantly running daemon, in which case how to check >> if it is running? > > I don't know how to check if puppet is running. On projects.a.o it writes to the system log. $ grep puppet /var/log/syslog will likely show the most recent puppet-agent activity. >> I have committed a couple of changes recently. >> The last one was over two hours ago now (Fri Apr 1 10:37:44 2016 >> +0100) but it still has not been applied as far as I can tell. >> >> The git code info says: >> >> Git code info: 40e810b 2016-04-01 01:01:16 +0100 >> >> I don't have experience with gitpubsub, but projects.a.o and >> reporter.a.o SVN code updates are almost instantaneous. >> >> It's a bit of a problem if code updates take a long time, especially >> if a mistake needs to be corrected, tho' that's not the case here. > > - Sam Ruby
