Right now, wildebeest (the gnu.org server) has a collection of scripts that grab files from Savannah and put them into the correct place on gnu.org. According to rwp, there is one script/CVS hook running on Savannah that pings wildebeest but I do not know for sure. I don't have access to Savannah and somebody I asked to look through Savannah could not find anything related to that.
I plan to modify the scripts to work with both Git and CVS and hope to keep rewriting at a minimum. I'm documenting the current system right now so I know what needs to be modified and what can stay the same or even be deleted. The new system will also be deployed to the new Wildebeest server when it's ready. I'd love to talk with anyone who has knowledge of this system! I'm also wondering if anyone knows of or has access to the CVS hook/script that is on Savannah?
