[Piuparts-devel] Bug#632924: piuparts-slave to recreate tarball(s) beyond certain age

[Scott Schaefer]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.40
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Attached patch resolves two items:

1) From TODO ...

piuparts-slave: if chroot.tgz is older than N days, regenerate it
- currently this is done via ~piupartss/crontab, but that's a hack
- only throw away tarballs (and recreate them) after testing that they can be recreated

I hard-coded the MAX_TGZ_AGE at 30 days.  Log entry is written when the
file is recreated due to becoming too old.  The "old" file is renamed to 
.old so that,
should the new file fail to be created, it is simply renamed back and 
processing
continues.

piatti crontab entry should be removed after install.


2) Bug in piuparts-slave which prevented running a single section (by 
including
section name as command-line argument).

Variable 'global_config' was initialized only if len(sys.argv) > 1.  
This would cause
python exception and exit when gloval_config was accessed in call to 
section.setup()
