Hi Erik,
from your other mail:
Wouldn't it work to simply build the sites as
usual (mvn site:site), then check in the target
directories and pull those onto people.apache.org?
It might work, until you have to run "mvn clean"
to make sure that all pages are regenerated. That
will delete your .svn subdirectories in target/.
Arggh, didn't think about that one... :) Hmppf...
I'd rather remove the module-level site than try to maintain
the generated information in SVN.
Yep, I understand - we could also simply svn:ignore those in the
target dirs and mvn-deploy them only when necessary.
That is my idea, except for using a staging
directory instead of the target directories.
Ok.
Did I mention how crappy Maven feels for website-related stuff? Maybe
we should switch this crap to Forrest, Anakia or something comletely
different... what are other projects doing?
Yes you did. But Oleg raised the point of the .apt
format, which is much easier to edit than xdocs
for the simple pages. Doxia can be called through a
Java API, but I couldn't find an Ant task and don't
have time to waste on writing one. My suggestion to
adapt the Jakarta site building is somewhere in the
mail archives, but we went with Maven because I had
no alternative to offer for .apt.
I agree, apt is nice but Maven... oh well, let's leave it at that and
make the best of it.
You mentioned the possibility of running nightly builds directly
on people.apache.org. Could and should we use that to generate
the module-level subsites on a weekly or even daily basis there?
Then we don't have to deploy those at all.
Hmm, that would be another possibility but I'm a bit concerned with
failing builds etc...
Just for the reports. If report generation fails,
the results are not copied to the site and the
old stuff remains available. For now, we can of
course manually deploy the four module sites we
currently have. But reports like the test coverage
make little sense unless they are updated on a
regular basis. There are also other Maven reports,
such as SVN activity, that become interesting if
generated on a regular basis. Just a thought :-)
Aye, makes sense then.
Cheers,
Erik
