==== Choose proper recipe periodicity (DRAFT PROPOSAL) ==== | |||
When we configure a recipe on the Zimfarm, we have to decide on the periodicity at which the recipe will be ran. | |||
Following rules should be followed, unless justified by an exception: | |||
- by default, the periodicity is quarterly | |||
- recipes linked to content which is very regularly updated might switch to monthly updates ; this is typically the case for all recipes linked to Wikimedia wikis | |||
- recipes known to take a lot of time to complete / consume much resources / be linked to content not regularly updated should be switched to bi-annually or annually periodicity (at the discretion of recipe maintainer) | |||
- recipes in DEV (pushing to /.hidden/dev) have a manual periodicity: | |||
- the person setting up the recipe will take care of updating the ZIM when needed, having a manual process helps to avoid side-effects during testing by not all testing the same ZIM | |||
- we aim to put the time during which a recipe is in DEV to a minimum | |||
- we have too many recipe in DEV which are failing and not yet disabled, if the update is automated it will continuously waste resources | |||
- recipes building ZIMs for a specific customer have a manual periodicity by default, unless we have a clear maintenance contract paying us to update ZIMs at a given interval, or unless the ZIM in question is of general interest (but then we usually do not consider this ZIM to be linked to a specific customer) | |||
