---------------------------------------

             Summary: [Docs] Make it possible to regenerate older docs with additional patch(es)
                 Key: ARROW-14498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14498
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Krisztian Szucs
             Fix For: 7.0.0


We may need to regenerate older docs to include new changes, e.g. the new version dropdown feature. 

Since we need to regenerate the docs for the first time, it would be great if we could encapsulate this in a script. After applying the patch {{archery docker run ubuntu-docs}} should do the rest, similarly like we use in the post-release task https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/release/post-09-docs.sh

```
dev/release/generate-docs.sh <version> <patch>

dev/release/generate-docs.sh 6.0.0  # no patch required
dev/release/generate-docs.sh 5.0.0 docs.patch
dev/release/generate-docs.sh 4.0.0 docs.patch
dev/release/generate-docs.sh 3.0.0 docs.patch

# then deploy to asf-site
```
