Where can I find information on the new "updater" module?

Question

I've upgraded my system to a recent version of the SVN trunk (I'm mostly aware of the risks :P).

I'm seeing some errors in the logs with respect to the updater module. I've disabled it for now in the administrator settings, but could someone please point me in the direction of some docs about it (if they exist yet)? And if they don't exist, just give a quick overview here?

Hi mark. No docs exist yet. Can you post what the errors are? We've just updated trunk so that these get logged better I believe. This new module pings osqa.net every so often to make sure you have the latest version and pulls down any notices (like security warnings, etc). If you've ever used wordpress, it's sorta like how it tells you there's a new version (or it will be!)

I think it's a permissions issue. I see ~30 lines of:

/srv/www/xxxxxxxx.com/django/osqa/forum_modules/updates/base.py TIME: 2011-07-31 01:53:58,132 MSG: base.py:update_trigger:180 Update process has been triggered: Wasn't able to check to the update server.

And I see this in my error log the same number of times:

[Sun Jul 31 01:54:03 2011] [error] [client 178.xxx.xx.xxx] mod_wsgi (pid=13709): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/srv/www/xxxxxxxx.com/django/osqa/osqa.wsgi'.
[Sun Jul 31 01:54:03 2011] [error] [client 178.xxx.xx.xxx] IOError: failed to write data

I think they are related (despite the 3s gap).
