Crawl release versions of specs once per day (#844)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We used to crawl released versions of specs once per week but:
- Definitions are needed for cross-referencing, especially as authoring tools
may favor /TR links when preparing /TR versions of specs. Bikeshed typically
does that.
- There are more and more specs that get auto-published to /TR whenever the
nightly version is updated. Webref may be up to one week late for them, more if
weekly crawl crashes for some reason.
- Webref may be up to one week late for new specs as well, as reported in #842.
Granted, in a regular course of events, this should not be an issue, as there
won't be cross-references to new specs right away.

This update changes the frequency of release crawls to one per day. Nightly
versions are crawled 4 times per day but the idea is to err on the conservative
side of things to avoid crawling specs too much, in particular those that only
have a nightly version. In the future, we could perhaps introduce a crawl mode
that only considers specs with a release version and either copies extracts from
the latest nightly crawl or simply does not produce any info for specs that only
have a nightly version.
