D* stuff to do [was (Doom talk about D*)]

[Maxwell Salzberg]

Tom,

On Cedar, they let you write to the filesystem, but it will not persist between dynos (meaning each app server will not have access to the thing another one wrote, and it all gets reset in between deploys)  Should be totally find if you just need it as a temp space to tag the repo, and we only have one (free) dyno.

I was under the impression that Heroku apps could not access the filesystem. In order for this app to run, it must be able to execute shell commands like `git pull origin master`, `git tag` and `git push --tags`. Is that kind of thing possible on Heroku?

Can we just run it on heroku cedar?

Yeah that's probably the first step. I think if I host it on my VPS, with diaspora/diaspora commit access, it should have no problems running.

3.  Getting an auto tagger on green builds from Travis.  Tom, what magic ssh incantations need to happen to make your little bot work?  If we gave you commit access to diaspora/diaspora, (we should have done this awhile ago anyways) could we make this happen?

Huzzah, teachs me to ask before searching... thanks Mike.

Tom, couldn't we just use this route, rather than cloning the whole repo?

Definitely. I was unaware of this functionality in the GitHub API. The tagger app applies what someone else at my company coded (GitTools/ReleaseTag) to the D* project's requirements. I can easily modify the app to simply POST to the tags API rather than doing everything manually on our side.

Awesome.  That means we can just make it a really skinny sintra service, and even open source it for others to use.  You'd think Travis-Ci would just build this functionality in...
