Zone Forrest bots on strike?

[Ross Gardler <rg...@apache.org>]

I've not received any mails from the zone Forrestbots today and the new 
apache-projects site has not built according to the entry in my crontab 
(see ~rgardler/my-crontab.txt).

Any ideas?

Not a waste. This is showing us that we need more error
reporting somehow. There is an issue, see below.

That was something new that i added yesterday.
Before it was capturing output into my home directory.

Yes, it is useful. I think that i will leave it in place
and document it properly.

The reason for capturing the output is that otherwise
we (i) would receive output from cron each time that
it runs. That means that when you make a config change,
then be sure to check those output logs. After that
first run, the forrestbot should handle any errors.

I am surprised that the forrestbot didn't handle
and report the error with the svn repo URL typo.

David, I'm really sorry for wasting your time with something so simple. 
That other pair of eyes syndrome I'm afraid.

Thanks.

I thought I'd just copied from your crontab - not very well obviously.

Sorry for wasting your time a second time :-(

I fixed that now.

Thanks, that's useful. I'll bet you already documented it somewhere 
too.... yep there it is, clear as day on http://forrest.apache.org/zone.html

thanks again

There are errors with both "cocoon-docs" and "apache-projects".

With the former it has a bad repository URL typo. I just fixed that.

With the latter it is not calling the run-forrestbot.sh properly.
Your crontab entry needs to be ...

/export/home/config/run-forrestbot.sh apache-projects.xml notify trunk
.....................................................^^^^

There are logfiles from the output of cron, e.g.

/export/home/config/forrestbot-trunk/logs/cronout-trunk-apache-projects.txt
