oacs-x-y, and build a repository channel for each of those branches
where x>=5 (so not for 4.6 and earlier). It will also build a
channel for HEAD, which will be named after what you set in
'head_channel' above.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>For each channel, it'll do an anonymous checkout of packages
and contrib/packages, then build .apm files for each package in the
checkout.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The files will be stored on the server's hard drive in the
directory specified by the 'repository_dir' variable in the

<p>If you're on openacs.org, everything should now be fine.
Otherwise, you need to move the entire directory tree to
openacs.org:/web/openacs/www/repository, replacing what was already
there.</p><p>This is automated on OpenACS.org by having a dedicated site just
for building the repository, invoked with this shell script. Since
the page circumvents security checks for ease of use, the entire
site is limited to local requests. The script is called daily with
a cron job.</p><pre class="programlisting">
