The xml-site CVS module is about to be migrated to SVN shortly. This has some effects on website deployment for websites under http://xml.apache.org. Currently, all the generated websites are uploaded under the targets directory in the xml-site repository and updated on cvs.apache.org using a CVS update.
I strongly suggest to the Xerces and Xalan projects to deploy their subproject websites under their subdomain and instead add ".htaccess" files under xml.apache.org, like the other TLP-promoted projects have done, to redirect visitors to the new location. Examples of .htaccess files can be found for FOP, Batik, Cocoon, Forrest etc. FOP's .htaccess file looks like this: RedirectPermanent /fop http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop Using Forrest 0.7 to create the xml.apache.org site and having had good experiences for the XML Graphics and FOP sites, I'm going to change the xml.apache.org deployment to use (local) ForrestBot. The generated site will not be committed to the SVN repository anymore, but directly uploaded using SCP to cvs.apache.org:/www/xml.apache.org. If someone doesn't agree with that, please tell me. The other subproject sites can still be uploaded to the targets directory (only now through SVN which will take some manual work on minotaur). As soon as the SVN migration is completed I'm going to: - update the xml.apache.org site - remove the obsolete FOP website from the targets directory. - remove the obsolete SOAP website (now found here: http://ws.apache.org/soap/) - remove the obsolete XMLBeans website (now found here: http://xmlbeans.apache.org/) - document the new deployment process - help anyone who gets stuck I won't touch the other XML subproject sites unless asked to. The xml.apache.org site will be located here after the migration: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/site/ Check out using: svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/site/ Jeremias Maerki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
