There are two cronjobs on hermes that copy data to whimsy: listmodsubs.sh - copies data files to whimsy.apache.org:/srv/subscriptions/
whimsy_qmail_ids.sh - writes data to whimsy-vm4.apache.org:/srv/subscriptions/qmail.ids It would be nice if there were no need to update these scripts when the Whimsy VM is updated. I propose to update whimsy_qmail_ids.sh to use the generic address. Both scripts would then only send data to the current master server. For testing the new server, one can just copy over the contents of /srv/subscriptions. When DNS is flipped, hermes would start to update the new master. Does that make sense? S.
