Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Announcing cgran.org: Re-launching the Comprehensive GNU Radio Archive Network

[Stefan Wunsch]

Hi,

looks great! gnuradio.org in this style would be awesome ;)

But I have a question about the update mechanism. If I change or add the
manifest file in my repo on github (gr-radar), how does cgran update its
database? Are there any update cycles or is it done manually?

Greetings
Stefan
