Description Rob Lanphier 2012-02-01 22:56:44 UTC 
There are slightly different versions of scripts such as sync-common-file on fenari:  one in /usr/local/bin and one in /home/wikipedia/bin.  It looks like /usr/local/bin is the correct version, but Aaron for one found himself using the /home/wikipedia/bin version.  This seems ripe for cleanup.

My comment from bug 36410:

Historically, we had our bastion shell scripts in /home/wikipedia/bin . Most of
them have been migrated to operations/puppet.git and are now deployed through
puppet in /usr/local/bin . We end up with duplicated scripts, some of them
being totally outdated.

That can cause troubles whenever someone has in its PATH /home/wikipedia/bin
before /usr/local/bin. Well that is probably just me anyway :-]


As an example, the dologmsg script is used to log a message on a public IRC
channel. There are two versions installed on fenari:

One that does not work anymore:

 /home/wikipedia/bin/dologmsg

And the correct one in /usr/local/
 /usr/local/bin/dologmsg


This bug is about making sure any modifications made to the old scripts are in
puppet and delete the scripts from /home/wikipedia/bin.

looks like something like git-deploy & Co. should address.
Comment 4 Ryan Lane 2013-04-04 21:22:27 UTC 
I don't believe this is related.
