How to add a cry?

• Update your local tree with git pull or clone the repository with git clone if you don't have it already
• Add the cry or cries in www/snd. See the website FAQ (http://lolicri.es/faq.html) for more information on the format/codec restrictions and extraction.
• Add a kawaii 300x200 PNG picture in www/img
• Run git add on the just added sound and images files
• Edit loli_list.py and add/edit the loli entry
• Run make && firefox www/index.html and check if everything is fine
• Commit the new loli with git commit -a -m <commit message>
• Request a merge (if you forked the project) or send a patch (git format-patch -1)
• Wait for a review from a developer

Eventually, a developer will run git push on the main server with your patch.

What is the setup of lolicri.es?

We have a shared bare repository in GITROOT=/home/$COMMON_GROUP/lolicri.es.git. This is the repository cloned by the developers, $COMMON_GROUP being a shared group between them.

A cloned repository (from the $GITROOT bare one) is located in WWWROOT=/home/$ADMIN_DEV/lolicri.es. The DocumentRoot of the httpd points on $WWWROOT/www. This directory contains all the images, cries, generated pages, etc. The web server is also configured to redirect any 404 to www/404.html.

Each time a developer pushes something, the script $GITROOT/hooks/post-receive is run. It contains the following code to update the $WWWROOT repository:

#!/bin/sh

ADMIN_DEV=...
WWWROOT=/home/$ADMIN_DEV/lolicri.es

read oldrev newrev refname
[ "$refname" != "refs/heads/master" ] && exit 0
cd $WWWROOT
unset GIT_DIR
git pull
make BASEURL=
