Merge lp:~jpds/launchpad/timestamp-archivepublisher-run into lp:launchpad

[Jonathan Davies]

Changed cron.publish-ftpmaster and cron.publish-copy-archives to timestamp their trace files instead of just touching them.

[Jonathan Davies (jpds)]

= Summary =

The archivepublisher does not timestamp its trace files, it just touch'es the file. Mean while most of our mirrors timestamp when they synced with 'date -u' in their trace files:

- http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/project/trace/?C=M;O=D

This branch changes this behaviour to mimic that of the mirrors.

Hi Jonathan

Thanks for doing the change. It would be great if you could add some explanatory text in comments as to why the trace file is needed, it's not obvious to most LP hackers.

The diff looks ok though. How are you going to test it? We could mkdir $ARCHIVEROOT/project/trace/ on dogfood and remove the "if [ "$LPCONFIG" = "$PRODUCTION_CONFIG" ]" check actually.

[Jonathan Davies (jpds)]

Mostly, trace files are very useful for debugging when a mirror was last updated or in this case the exact time the archivepublisher last ran.

[Julian Edwards (julian-edwards)]

Great, thanks.
