9: =head1 DESCRIPTION
10:
11: This is a file that runs periodically on B<install.lon-capa.org>.
12:
13: This file should be run by the 'loninst' user and be part of
14: the 'loninst' crontab entries (to view loninst crontab, login
15: as loninst and crontab C<-l>; to edit loninst crontab, login as
16: loninst and crontab C<-e>).
17:
18: This file should be on the B<install.lon-capa.org> filesystem as
1.2 harris41 19: F</home/loninst/auto/install_web_site_cronjob>.
1.1 harris41 20:
21: The current 'loninst' crontab entry is:
22:
1.2 harris41 23: 13 16 * * * /home/loninst/auto/install_web_site_cronjob
1.1 harris41 24:
1.2 harris41 25: The main goal of B<install_web_site_cronjob> is to periodically produce the
1.3 albertel 26: unstable tarball needed for LON-CAPA installation.
1.1 harris41 27:
1.2 harris41 28: A secondary yet important function of B<install_web_site_cronjob> is that it
1.1 harris41 29: also refreshes the documentation present on the install.lon-capa.org
30: web site.
31:
1.5 harris41 32: This documentation is refreshed based on a file located inside
33: F</home/loninst/public_html/versions>. This file is named
34: F<LATEST-IS-VERSIONNUMBER>, where
35: I<VERSIONNUMBER> is the latest stable release of loncapa (e.g. 0.4 or 0.6.1).
36: The F<LATEST-IS-VERSIONNUMBER> file contains a string
37: that is used to date the release of the current stable version.
1.3 albertel 38:
1.1 harris41 39: The coding of this script is a strange brew of shell commands
40: with perl.

47: # --------------------------------------------- Making the tarball distribution
1.5 harris41 48:
49: # In an ideal world, this tarball distribution would be always generated with
50: # the "make tardist" command. But instead, unstable is now defined as
51: # "all the gunk we have been working on", whereas the
52: # "make tardist" command means a "carefully inventoried selection of gunk".
1.3 albertel 53: #`cd /home/loninst/auto; export CVS_PASSFILE=/home/loninst/.cvspass; export CVSROOT=:pserver:scott\@localhost:/home/cvs; rm -Rf loncapa/[C][^V]*; rm -Rf loncapa/[^C]*; cvs -Q co loncapa; cd loncapa/loncom/build; make build 2>/dev/null; make tardist;`;
1.5 harris41 54:
55: # The real world. Just give them all the gunk for the unstable distribution.
1.4 harris41 56: `cd /home/loninst/auto; export CVS_PASSFILE=/home/loninst/.cvspass; export CVSROOT=:pserver:scott\@localhost:/home/cvs; rm -Rf loncapa-unstable; rm -Rf loncapa; cvs -Q export -r HEAD loncapa;`;

61: This is a CVS export of LON-CAPA generated on:
62: END
63: print(OUT `date`);
64: print(OUT <<END);
65:
66: To generate an installable tarball distribution from this file, you can
67: execute the following commands:
68: cd loncom/build
69: make tardist
70:
71: Note that the installable tarball distribution (the 'tardist' target)
72: is what encapsulates the stable releases of the LON-CAPA software (as
73: well as ensuring that LON-CAPA's distributability does not rely solely on
74: CVS software).
75:
76: END
77: print(OUT <<END);
78: An alternative Makefile command sequence is:
79: cd loncom/build
80: make build
81: make install
82:
83: For more information on Makefile targets, you can just enter the following
84: commands:
85: cd loncom/build
86: make help
87:
88: Finally, if you encounter any problems, be sure to enter them
89: into the bug database http://bugs.lon-capa.org/ or, alternatively,
90: discuss them on one of the mailing lists available at
91: http://mail.lon-capa.org/.
