I've offered to maintain such a thing if someone would be willing to grant AFS space in some part of a public cell. I can't really host things at UIUC due to various campus network usage policies. And actually, with AFS we can just create a mount point to a world readable volume in any public cell so that the contributor can maintain the most up to date version without involving someone in updating the content. >> the interesting case is where the RW has unreleased changes and you >> want to recreate the ROs as they are now. i don't know of >> distributed tools to do this. > > I hadn't really thought about people intentionally keeping their RWs & > ROs out of sync w/each other.

This isn't easy to work around either as I'm pretty sure that vos dump and vos copy specifically prevent you from doing operations on an RO volume. For instance I may pre-stage content for a website that is to be released next week at 10a on Monday. I can then cron the release and have the data show up exactly at a specific time. However, what usually happens is that some last minute change needs to be made to the current live website and its not easy to undo the new site, make the change, and then re-release. I generally end up deleting (copying elsewhere first of course) the contents of the RW with rm, copying the RO, making changes and re-releasing. And then putting back the pre-staged content. <<CDC _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
