forrestbot readiness

[Dave Brondsema <da...@brondsema.net>]

Now that I can start committing, I'd like to get forrestbot2 ready enough to
replace the old forrestbot.  Should I get the scripts and webapp updated for
forrestbot2 to run on forrestbot.cocoondev.org?  How can I get access to a
staging area (and eventually the existing forrestbot directories) on the server
so that I can test it?

Dave, i do not know how to answer your first question.

For the second question about access to cocoondev.org ...
Well, Steven Noels and Jeff Turner are both on this list, but as you
know, they are quiet at the moment. The best bet might be to join the
"supporters" at lists.cocoondev.org (very low traffic) and ask there,
and/or to contact Steven directly.

The forrestbot.cocoondev.org site is a mix of JSP and bash scripts.  Part
of my intention with starting the Forrestbot rewrite was to eliminate as
much of the custom bash scripting as possible, to make the Forrestbot
something cross-platform and generally useful for keeping any Forrest
site up to date.

If the bash scripting can be removed, what then remains (the JSPs) is
hardly worth preserving.  So I'd suggest ignoring most of this historical
baggage and starting from scratch (the fifo trick might be worth
preserving though).

Once it works to the extent forrestbot.cocoondev.org does, give Steven a
poke ;)
