I would think that this change happened after we deployed that directory on that host, and wouldn't expect a local change. Is this something that gets changed through the admin interface as well?
Nope, only "whats_hot.html" files can be changed via the WYSIWYG editor.
Or is it in fact content that's pulled from news.o.o once in a while, and the file therefore receives local changes?
That's correct! A cronjob calls /rss_client/refresh_frontpage_news.php every now and then. This little script renders the RSS newsfeed as static HTML snippet (/news.html) which is pulled into the website via SSI (server-side includes).
Should it be committed to svn?
No need for that. Even a new checkout would be updated automatically as soon as the cronjob calls the refresh-script.
Does the change propagate to the other servers automatically?
The news.html file resides on www.opensuse.org. I now that two servers are used to load-balance the website, but I never noticed that the news section was out of sync. So I guess Mike Cronquist made sure that the generation php script is either called on oth machines or that the resulting HTML snippet is synchronized between them.
