+ <title>ForrestBot "publish" Step-by-Step</title>
+ <p>
+ We're using ForrestBot for build and deploy the FOP website. ForrestBot comes with Apache Forrest 0.7.
+ The root directory of your FOP checkout contains the file "publish.xml" which is an Ant build file
+ that manages the build and the deployment of the FOP website. Please look into this file for
+ further instructions to set up ForrestBot on your machine. Basically, we're simply running ForrestBot
+ manually by typing "ant -f publish.xml" once we're happy with our changes to the site. Be sure to set
+ up the "deploy.settings" file as described in the "publish.xml" file. Step-by-step instructions for
+ the deployment process again:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Modify the sources of the website and check locally with Forrest 0.7 (run "forrest run" or just "forrest").</li>
+ <li>
+ Once you're satisfied, run "ant -f publish.xml" to do a clean build of the website. If the build
+ runs without problems, the website will be uploaded as a whole using SCP to cvs.apache.org.
+ </li>
+ <li>Wait for the next rsync cycle and check your changes in the live site. (Sorry, no manual rsync available ATM)</li>
</ul>

<title>Using a Local Forrest</title>
-<!--
- <note>Most documentation content changes do not require a local copy of Forrest.
-In general, use the Forrestbot instead. Forrestbot is easy to use, always uses the "approved" methodology, and has fewer error-prone manual steps.</note>
- <p>There are some situations where you may want to have a local Forrest installation. For example, you do not want to tie up server resources testing major changes, such as sitemap building, that may require many edit/build/test/debug cycles. After you are done testing, use the forrestbot to "refresh" and "publish" the site.</p>
- <note>Forrest needs to be run on a machine with a graphical environment.
-It will fail in a headless environment when it tries to use FOP to generate the PDF files.</note>

- <p>To use a local Forrest:</p>
+ <p>To use a local Forrest (during website development, not for deployment):</p>
<ul>
- <!--<li>checkout the xml-forrest module (same repository as xml-fop)</li>-->
- <li><link href="http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi#closest">download</link> latest the Forrest release</li>
- <li>checkout the xml-site/targets/fop module (same repository as xml-fop)</li>
- <li>set environment variable FORREST_HOME=~/apache-forrest-0.6/src/core where ~ is the directory where Forrest is installed
+ <li><link href="http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi#closest">download</link> latest the Forrest release (currently Forrest 0.7)</li>
+ <li>set environment variable FORREST_HOME=~/apache-forrest-0.7 where ~ is the directory where Forrest is installed
(see <link href="http://forrest.apache.org/docs/your-project.html">http://forrest.apache.org/docs/your-project.html</link> for details)</li>
<li>set environment variable PATH=$PATH:$FORREST_HOME/bin</li>
- <li>cd to xml-fop directory</li>
+ <li>cd to your local FOP checkout</li>
+ <li>update your local FOP checkout (svn update)</li>

-See <link href="#delete">manually deleting retired files</link> for an exception to this rule.</warning>
--->
- <ul>
- <li>Copy (or sym-link) the documents generated by Forrest (in xml-fop/build/site) to xml-site/targets/fop on your local machine.</li>
- <li>Commit xml-site/targets/fop.</li>

<section id="delete">
<title>Deleting Documentation Files</title>
- <p>The one place where manual updates of the web cvs repository are required is when a document is retired. At this point, it will no longer be generated. However, it will still exist in the web cvs repository. You will need to use a cvs client to remove the files, then commit the changes to keep them from continuing to exist on the live site.</p>
- </section>
- <section id="publish">
- <title>Publish the Website</title>
- <ul>
- <li>ssh to www.apache.org</li>
- <li>cd /www/xml.apache.org/fop</li>
- <li>make sure your umask is 0002 (to make the files group writeable)</li>
- <li>cvs up -Pd</li>
- </ul>
+ <p>
+ ForrestBot simply uploads the whole generated site. It doesn't delete obsolete files. You
+ can do that manually in the /www/xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop folder on cvs.apache.org. Be careful
+ when doing stuff like that.
+ </p>
+ <note>
+ Please make sure you always have <strong>group rw permissions on all files</strong> under the /www directory!
