So, to solve the repo idle time information issue, please install a
post-receive hook that looks like this: (in Python)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
This script is usable as a git repo `post-receive' hook. It updates
`$GIT_DIR/info/web/last-modified' time-stamp file after any commit to
any branch of the repo. Useful for cgit web interface repo idle time
information.

into your {invenio,inspire} public repositories in the following way:
$ cd ~/public/repo/cds-invenio.git
$ mkdir info/web/
$ touch info/web/last-modified
$ cp tmp_above_hook.py hooks/post-receive
$ chmod a+rx hooks/post-receive
after which the idle timestamp information should be set properly upon
your next commit.
P.S. I use Pythonic hook due to some other stuff in there, but
alternatively you should be able to use a simpler shell version
that would go like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/sh
git for-each-ref --format="%(committerdate)" --sort=-committerdate --count=1 >
$GIT_DIR/info/web/last-modified
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
