Sorry to post this here, it’s really a combined Ruby/Linux/Git problem
but
I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I’ve
written a
Ruby script that exports all known branches of some git repos to static
files, and optionally performs builds of JavaScript projects. It looks
like
this:
To run: save this in a file, e.g. ~/widgets/export, make it executable
and
perform the following in the ~/widgets directory:
chmod +x export
mkdir repos
mkdir static
cd repos
git clone git://github.com/jcoglan/heist.git
git clone git://github.com/jcoglan/js.class.git
Also, install these:
sudo gem install hoe grit jake
Then, go back to your home dir and run the script:
cd ~
widgets/export
You should see a ton of stuff appear in the ‘static’ dir. Also notice
that
the contents of static/js.class/0.9.0 and static/js.class/2.0.0 (for
example) are different. Next, set this script up to run under cron using
‘crontab -e’ (First digit is the minutes past the hour the script will
run.
Replace my username with your own.)
crontab -e
40 * * * * /home/jcoglan/widgets/export
Wait for the script to run, then inspect the directories again. All
versions
of js.class are now the same, whereas the heist versions are still
distinct.
Also, If I remove the heist repo, js.class exports correctly.
I’ve no idea why any of this should be the case: any help would be very
gratefully received!
