I set up a cron job at ibiblio to get the snapshots
Here is the script:
--------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# CVS tree
CVSDIR=<path to local cvs copy>
# Where should all the snapshots go
SNPDIR=<path to ftp>
# We keep logs in case
LOGDIR=<path to log>
# The modules that need snapshots. If a module is to be added,
# it must be imported from cvs manually first.
MODULES="ggi-core lowlevel"
# how long before we trash the snapshots
HISTORY=30
BIN=/bin
TODAY=`$BIN/date +%Y%m%d`
makesnapshot() {
if [ -f $LOGDIR/$1-$TODAY ]; then
echo `$BIN/date` : Snapshot for $1 already done today >> $LOGDIR/log
else
echo `$BIN/date` : Making snapshot for $1 >> $LOGDIR/log
$BIN/rm -f $LOGDIR/$1*
# stamp
$BIN/touch $LOGDIR/$1-$TODAY
cd $CVSDIR
# duplicate the current tree
$BIN/cp -R $1 $1-pre
#update the package
cd $1; /usr/bin/cvs -Q update >> $LOGDIR/log; cd ..
#create the diff
/usr/bin/diff -ur $1-pre $1 > $SNPDIR/$1-diff-$TODAY
#erase the old tree
$BIN/rm -rf $1-pre
if test -s $SNPDIR/$1-diff-$TODAY; then
#build the snapshot
$BIN/tar cvfz $SNPDIR/$1-$TODAY.tgz $1
$BIN/gzip $SNPDIR/$1-diff-$TODAY
else
# no diff
$BIN/rm $SNPDIR/$1-diff-$TODAY
fi
fi
}
for I in $MODULES; do
makesnapshot $I
done
#erase all snapshots that are too old.
/usr/bin/find $SNPDIR/ -ctime $HISTORY -exec /bin/rm {};
