Testing new website sync process
Folks,
As part of the response to the recent compromise of ASF servers [1] the
infrastructure team are introducing a new way to sync web sites from svn
and are looking for PMS to volunteer to test the new process.
I'd like to volunteer the Tomcat website. Any objections? I'm happy to
take on fixing any teething problems.
The advantage is that commits to svn will be reflected on the live site
within a few seconds.
If we want we can also have a staging site tomcat.staging.a.o where we
could preview stuff [2]
My own view is that a staging site isn't necessary. Our site is simple.
We can test locally before committing and with commits affecting the
live site within a few seconds, fixing any snafus should be easy.
Cheers,
Mark

[2] This require a separate svn location to sync from. Something like:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site/branches/live
would sync to
http://tomcat.apache.org/
and
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site/trunk
would sync to
http://tomcat.staging.apache.org/
and we would have to svn merge changes from trunk to live.

No. It fell off my radar. I'll try and get back to it. I'll let floks
know in advance before I change anything.

At the minute, the ideal would be as part of:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site/trunk/
I don't know how well that would fit in with how the tag libs site is
generated currently. If that won't work, do whatever you think is
reasonable. We can always refine/adjust later.

Did this go through Mark?
Where do I commit the Taglibs site?

Generally +1.
Noting that this includes the Taglibs subsites which are Maven based.

Re: Testing new website sync process

Go for it.
Some remarks on the web site:
1) Tomcat connectors (JK)
the docs are fully in svn, but only the xml/xslt part and the ant build
support. The generated docs are at the moment not part of svn.
Even if we put them in, we would need a way to decide, which version
(tag) gets pushed.
Similarly for Tomcat docs themselves.
2) /dev/dist
We sometimes use this sub directory, e.g. for not so called release
candidates and other stuff, which is not meant to come out of svn.
Regards,
Rainer

Not sure. That is one of the things to be ironed out. That doesn't
strike me as a particularly good idea but it might be necessary. It is
is necessary, I'll script it.

Does that mean the entire site would be in svn? If so - would that also
mean that all documentation (like javadocs etc) would move into svn?
