- Decide if restore webcvs from May 27th or attempt to recover the last 2 days commits from www.gnu.org and www.nongnu.org;
Would it be possible to detect which webcvs's were modified after the May 27 backup? I'm thinking of something like a find-by-time(*) on the live repos and just look for files which were modified. I expect there are very few projects which had web changes in that short span. If we could explicitly tell the maintainers of them to deal with their webcvs, that might end up taking considerably less time than a heroic effort to detect and recover every project. Just an idea. Exception: speaking with my gnu webmaster hat on, it would be highly desirable to bring the www CVS itself up to date. Thanks, Karl (*) I'm sure most people here have their own methods for this, but just in case it helps, here is my little script to output all files sorted by mtime (also shows file size). find "$@" -xdev -path /proc -prune -o -type f -printf "%T@ %k %p\n" \ | sort -nr \ | gawk '{ T=$1; k=$2; $1=""; $2=""; sub (/^ */, "", $0); printf "%s %5d %s\n", strftime ("%Y%m%d.%H%M", T), k, $0}'
