Here’s how it is created:
lockfile=communitywiki.org/noedit
archive=community.tar.gz
test -f $lockfile && exit 1 # abort if the lockfile exists
touch $lockfile || exit 1 # we're in the wrong directory
# password.pl is not included
tar czf $archive --dereference \
--exclude=communitywiki.org/*.tar.gz \
--exclude=communitywiki.org/svn \
--exclude=communitywiki.org/raw \
--exclude=communitywiki.org/logs \
--exclude=communitywiki.org/temp \
--exclude=communitywiki.org/maintenance \
--exclude=communitywiki.org/visitors.log \
communitywiki.org
mv $archive communitywiki.org/
rm $lockfile
As you can see, tarball creation is skipped if the lockfile exists, with no retries. This should be fixed if it happens too often.
