Forrest trouble

[Dy...@Sun.COM]

Hi,

I've started updating the download page in my website sandbox to prepare
for the coming release. For now I have created 10.4.x.y.{cgi,html} and
updated dowloads.xml to refer to the cgi script, and conf/cli.xconf to
refer to the html (as the Wiki says). But when I run 'forrest site' only the
cgi gets copied to build/site.

I have not run 'svn add' on the files yet (don't want to do that until
I'm sure what the new final version is). Could that be causing the
problem?

Are you sure it's not FOR-480? From DerbySnapshotOrRelease:

Due to FOR-480, the release page will be built into your
$FORREST_HOME/main/site directory. You will need to copy it to the
build directory.

Thanks Andrew and Rick. I guess that must be it. I did see the Wiki 
mentioning FOR-480, but I assumed that ALL the build products would end 
up in $FORREST_HOME/main/site, not just the new file. So since most 
things ended up in the correct place I thought that there must be some 
other problem...

Hi Dyre,

You may be running into the problem described in item (b) of the section 
titled "Create a page for the release, build/update site" in the release 
instructions: 
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbySnapshotOrRelease#head-60891cacca1830fb413f25400647daa1436c21df 
This is a Forrest bug: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-480 The 
release instructions summarize the problem this way: "the release page 
will be built into your $FORREST_HOME/main/site directory. You will need 
to copy it to the build directory."

Regards,
-Rick
