I would like to automate the creation of symlinks to people's public_git directories on Fedora People. The symlinks would take the form /git/$user -> /home/fedora/$user/public_git Having these symlinks would make urls to git repositories on fedorapeople.org much simpler and would look like: git://fedorapeople.org/git/$user/$repo.git instead of: git://fedorapeople.org/home/fedora/$user/public_git/$repo.git I can't think of any downsides... The symlinks wouldn't take up much disk space, they wouldn't allow access to anything new, and wouldn't take much processing power to keep updates. A test run ran in under a second. Of course, the cron job would run as a normal user for extra safety. The script that I wrote is attached to ticket 1058: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1058 -- Jeff Ollie "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Marcus to Franklin in Babylon 5: "A Late Delivery from Avalon" _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
