[jira] [Commented] (REEF-1154) Create release script for website update

["Mariia Mykhailova (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/REEF-1154?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15116891#comment-15116891 ] 

Mariia Mykhailova commented on REEF-1154:
-----------------------------------------

Currently we keep information about latest release in 2 places: release.js (together with information about all past releases) and downloads.md (latest release only). 

It is very tempting to move all information to one place (release.js) and upload it to html using JavaScript. It would make website update script much easier, as there would be fewer places to update. However, in this case our downloads page would be unusable with JavaScript turned off (there would be no links to download latest version there).

Do you think we need to preserve functionality for browsers with JavaScript off, search bots, etc? Or can we sacrifice this for the sake of cleaner update script?

> As out website gets more release-specific information, we need to speed up the update with a release script.
> The script should perform a change similar to https://github.com/apache/reef/pull/593. The parameters are:
> * new release version 
> * SHA512 of sources tar
> * link to release notes
> * release date can be assumed to be current date
> * apidoc links for Java and .NET and download links are constructed from version number (we assume they always have the same structure apart from varying version)
