Distfiles

Dropin

Uploading to dropin can be done using scp to either dropin@dropin.pld-linux.org or distfiles@dropin.pld-linux.org.
- SSH keys are copied from the git@ authorized_keys to the dropin@ authorized_keys using a gitolite hook (~git/.gitolite/hooks/gitolite-admin/post-update.secondary), therefore it has to be writable by git user.
Openssh is configured to chroot both accounts into /var/lib/dropin and then run rssh which is configured to only allow scp transfers.
- There's a minimal env in /var/lib/dropin that contains rssh and scp.
Uploaded files end up in /var/lib/dropin/dropin.
- Stale files get deleted after 30 days by tmpwatch.
The scripts responsible for sending the files from dropin to distfiles (and then deleting them from dropin) are in ~dfadm/distfiles.
- run-ff.sh is run from dfadm's crontab every minute.
- chmodd.sh is a simple inotifywait-based script that always runs in the background (started from rc.local on system boot) and does a proper chmod on all uploaded files.
