Description

I tried to publish some updated web pages to http://incubator.apache.org/jdo/index.html, but I don't have permissions. I got:

-bash-2.05b$ cd /www/incubator.apache.org/jdo
-bash-2.05b$ `cat UPDATE`
U team-list.html
U dependencies.html
U svn.html
svn: In directory '.'
svn: Can't open 'team-list.html.tmp': Permission denied

Geir is the owner of /www/incubator.apache.org/jdo and the directory is writable only by the owner.

Comments

The jdo directory now has the correct permissions but there's something else wrong. Here's the console log:

-bash-2.05b$ `cat UPDATE`
svn: Working copy '.' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
-bash-2.05b$ cat UPDATE
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jdo/site/docs .
-bash-2.05b$ svn cleanup
svn: In directory '.'
svn: Error processing command 'readonly' in '.'
svn: Can't set file '.svn/props/team-list.html.svn-work' read-only: Operation not permitted
-bash-2.05b$

Apparently the site is locked. I fiddled with it a bit but I don't think I helped anything.

Can someone with knowledge and karma please take a look?

I fixed the second-level problem. There were still some files below jdo that were writable only by the owner. I moved all files under jdo to a new directory called trash; rm'ed the images directory, moved .svn to .svn.old, did svn cleanup, then 'cat UPDATE'. It seemed to work. Within 4 hours we should see new content at http://incubator.apache.org/jdo/index.html.

That didn't actually fix it. You just moved the problem. I believe it has to do w/ either our default UMASK or something about svn. These are files created by svn tooling. I'll find out

Both Craig and I are able to successfully execute 'cat UPLOAD' . New content comitted to site and uploaded to minotaur appears on the JDO web page.
