Most of its files +are stored in the directory /org/security-tracker.debian.org/website: + + bin/cron invoked by cron once every minute + bin/cron-hourly invoked by cron once every hour + bin/cron-daily invoked by cron once every day + bin/read-and-touch invoked by ~/.procmailrc + bin/start-daemon invoked by cron at reboot + + secure-testing Subversion checkout + secure-testing/bin/* main entry points, called bin bin/cron + secure-testing/stamps/* files which trigger processing by bin/cron + +~sectracker/.procmailrc invokes bin/read-and-touch to create stamp +files, which are then picked up by bin/cron. This is done to +serialize change events in batches (e.g., commits originated from +git-svn). <sectrac...@security-tracker.debian.org> is subscribed to +these mailing lists to be notified of changes: + + <debian-security-annou...@lists.debian.org> + <secure-testing-commits.lists.alioth.debian.org> + +The crontab of the "sectracker" user is set up such that the scripts +are invoked as specified above. + +Web server +---------- + +80/TCP is handled by Apache.
