[jira] [Comment Edited] (COMDEV-177) Don't store derived data files in SVN

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-177?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15007437#comment-15007437 ]

--------------------------------------------------------

Note that the site/json/projects files are all recreated daily, so do not need to be stored in a VCS.

[Later] it seems that there is a function to create projects files from the (disabled) save.py script.
However if the file is one of the ones recreated by the cronjobs, the data would probably be lost anyway.

> Most of the files under https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/site/json are derived from other data that is stored in SVN and can be readily recreated. There seems little point in storing the derived data in SVN again.
> However, some of the files contain information that is derived from dynamic sources that are not part of a VCS; these must be kept in SVN because it is not possible to recreate them fully.
> Such files include:
> accounts-evolution.json - this is derived from changes to LDAP which are not journalled anywhere AFAIK.
> [That may be all; to be confirmed]
