Dave, you probably need a freefall account. See above. Another first assignment here is planning/implementing the move from freefall to spatter. Basically everything in /usr/local/www on freefall but there are a number of other issues. * Server config file arrangements. The lastest apache port puts config files in /usr/local/etc, log files in /var/log and such. We may not want log files there as they get very big very fast. Also need to arrange for rotating the logs. (this has to be done by root) * Syncing with CVS. Since the repository is on a different machine, this mechanism will change. * CGI scripts. Some of these may have to continue living on freefall. In particular cvsweb.cgi and possibly the mailing list archives. URLs pointing to these need to be changed from www.freebsd.org to freefall.freebsd.org because eventually www != freefall. * Automate update and build. This is currently done by /usr/local/www/bin/webupdate. Make any appropriate tweaks and then hand it off to cron. I'll have time after Thursday to help out with all of this. > News Editors John C & Nate J: If you plan on creating bunches of new material, it should probably go in a news subdirectory. -john
