[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-10688) unionfs for maven site merging between site and components documentation

["Hervé Boutemy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10688?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14982008#comment-14982008 ] 

Hervé Boutemy commented on INFRA-10688:
---------------------------------------

after a thought on the description I wrote, I see another option that may work:
what if the 2 svnpubsub entries published data to /, intead of first to / and second to /components?

= in svnwcsub.conf:
/www/maven.apache.org/content: %(CMS)s/maven/content
/www/maven.apache.org/content: %(CMS)s/maven/components

it seems there is a chance it would work, no?
and if we're not sure, we could test it on a parallel copy...

> Maven site is composed of a main site + components documentation: http://maven.apache.org/developers/website/website-overview.html
> Currently it is done with 2 svnpubsub entries + .htaccess:
> - / is https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/ and /components is https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/components/, with following svnwcsub.conf entries:
> /www/maven.apache.org/content: %(CMS)s/maven/content
> /www/maven.apache.org/content/components: %(CMS)s/maven/components
> - end of .htaccess rewrite rules https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/.htaccess rewrites to /components if file not found in /
> It works not so bad but there are 2 shortcomings:
> - wrong redirect for directories not ending with /: see http://maven.apache.org/ref
> - download.cgi script (for mirrors) does not work: try "download" link from http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/index.html
> After looking for solutions for these shortcomings, I found that in fact, what we are trying to do with .htaccess rewrite rules would in fact be perfectly done with something like an unionfs (or any equivalent tool) that merges /components into /
> This would solve both shortcomings and be less cryptic than the .htaccess rewrite rules
> could such unionfs be configured for http://maven.apache.org/ , please?
