I have not knowingly changed anything on Alioth (other than through the regular git push mechanism). All I've been doing is look around. I did not make any changes. Well not intentionally at least. Checking things gives olaf-guest@moszumanska:/home/groups/sane/htdocs$ ls -l .git/index -rw-r--r-- 1 olaf-guest sane 70280 Jun 20 12:24 .git/index I was logged in at that point in time according to `last`. Insofar `history` (and I ;-) can be trusted, during that login session I executed the following commands cat sane-home/bin/update-sanei-docs.sh ls sane-home/htdocs/ ls sane-home/htdocs/backends ls sane-home/ cd sane-home/htdocs/ git status ls -l ls -l ../lists/ ls -l ../sanei/ ls -l ../old-archive/ where sane-home is a symlink in my $HOME directory to /home/groups/sane. Anyway, I've restored group write permissions to .git/index. I believe that will fix the cron job issue. olaf-guest@moszumanska:/home/groups/sane/htdocs$ chmod g+w .git/index olaf-guest@moszumanska:/home/groups/sane/htdocs$ ls -l .git/index -rw-rw-r-- 1 olaf-guest sane 70280 Jun 20 12:24 .git/index Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Software https://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
