Comment (by apl-haiku):
Hello Alex; You do not need to setup {{{cron}}} tasks for each repository.
You only need to setup the following cron tasks;
{{{
32 * * * * curl ...../__maintenance/hourly
45 3 * * * curl ...../__maintenance/daily
}}}
In particular, the daily maintenance task scheduled with {{{cron}}} above
will, amongst other things, refresh the data for all active repositories
in the HDS system.
As part of a given repository's presumably scripted (Python etc...)
build/update process it is advisable but not necessary for the repository
build script (note: not cron) to invoke a URL such as...
{{{
/__repository/.../import
}}}
...when it (eg: Python script) finishes building/updating the repository.
The documentation for this HDS endpoint are described at [1]. By having
the repository build/update script do this, HDS will import the repository
data faster without having to wait for periodic polls performed during the
HDS daily maintenance task.
I am happy to help anybody with questions about this on the HDS mailing
list.
I will take a look to see if I can setup task-scheduling inside HDS using
Quartz scheduler, but am presently (slowly) busy with changes in the C++
code of the desktop application.
