[Engineering] [scap] Scap3-deployed repo owners

Thu Apr 13 16:38:52 UTC 2017

Hiya!

tl;dr: if your repo has a patch from me[0], please merge it :)

The longer explanation for these patches is that the deployment server 
from which your code is fetched by targets is set via the git_server 
configuration variable. This variable will be updated in Puppet when the 
primary deployment server changes; however, updating it in every repo 
would be time consuming. Yesterday, I made a bunch of patches to remove 
this configuration variable from any repo where it is set. By removing 
this configuration variable from individual repos, all repos will 
respect the global value for git_server that is set in Puppet meaning 
that repo owners shouldn't have to worry about making updates when a 
deployment server is changed.

If you have any questions let me know via email or IRC in 
#wikimedia-releng.

Thank you for your help!
