[parisc-linux] I am not your mother!

[Matthew Wilcox]

I'd really appreciate it if people would update the website when they
make changes to how something works that will be user visible.  It's not
hard; just cvs co website, make your corrections, and cvs ci.

My thanks to the people who _do_ do this already, including grant,
dhd and paul (keeping the status page up to date is rather important!).

Is there anything which can be done to make updating the website easier?
I've done my best to make it logical and easy; including getting rid
of the unusual build tool we were using and reducing the dependencies
involved in getting the page datestamp correct.  There's nothing _hard_
to do, if you know enough to write code and check it in, you can handle
the website.  So what's stopping you?

I keep losing the password, that's the only problem.

I'd really prefer to have the website be updated from a cron job.

Obviously it would be better for it to be hosted on PEHC in this case,
since otherwise we'd have to store the password in the clear on
PEHC or whatever machine runs that job.

It's tunnelled over ssh.  You can put your identity.pub in the appropriate
machine's authorized_keys file.  Hm, I should probably take mine out :-)
It's currently up to date.

Doable.  I'd prefer this as well -- or even better from a trigger which
runs as soon as there's a cvs commit to the website directory.

I think the plan is to move it to pehc once pehc's been upgraded.
Matt?  Any idea on when this'll happen?

FYI, there have been some discussions between LC and HP about various
improvements to the web site.  If you are planning any significant changes
to the web site, it would be good to make sure  Jane is aware ... LC was
going to take the next step on proposing how we move ahead with some
suggested improvements.
