Bug Description

We need to schedule a cron update of Packages-arch-specific through CVS. This is an example session that adam ran on drescher:

lp_buildd@drescher:/srv/launchpad.net/builddmaster$ ls -l Packages-arch-specific
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lp_buildd lp_buildd 29 Sep 14 01:12 Packages-arch-specific -> srcdep/Packages-arch-specific
lp_buildd@drescher:/srv/launchpad.net/builddmaster$ (cd srcdep/ && cvs up)
cvs update: Updating .
lp_buildd@drescher:/srv/launchpad.net/builddmaster$

This should be run with some frequency as it will ensure we get the right exclusions from the upstream file.

Oh, if we just want it in cron, I'll just add it to lp_buildd's crontab and we're done. I figured we'd want it to either be a part of queuebuilder (which makes some sense to me), or scheduled as a buildd-sequencer job, hence why I tossed it back in the soyuz court.

If a simple cronjob is as far as we want to go to ingerate this, I'll "Just Do It" (in fact, I just did).

"Ingerate"? Waking up is awesome. Clearly, I meant "integrate", and now I'm off to file a bug on Malone to let me edit comments so I don't look as stupid.

Hmmm. I guess I was looking for a simple solution. To have the queue
builder or build sequencer shell out to run a cvs update is somewhat
more complex, and harder to test. I don't know how timing-critical
updating the P-a-s file is -- after all, we haven't updated it since
January!
