Yeah, there's no copy of the HTML or PDF in the exim-website repo, it's
rebuilt on Tahini, right?
The HTML certainly is, I'll look at what happens with the PDFs (and I
think the answer is, currently, nothing).
I just checked and I don't have permission to make the directory to hold
the PDFs so I can't manually paper over this to buy time for a code fix.
Which is a bad thing. So had better look at sorting that longer term.
I'll fudge the files into place later today.
Was wondering about our mechanisms for distributing docs. It makes
sense to have a tarball of the HTML in the "ftp" area (quoted, because I
suspect most distribution is other than by ftp nowadays) - as the HTML
is a pile of small files all connected. PDFs, and for that matter ebook
versions etc, are single files (OK, spec & filter) and reasonably
compressed to start with. Would we do better to just unpack them.
In that case the website links become links direct to the distribution
area PDFs.
Maybe we would need to change directory structure a little - a directory
per version with all the files in rather than flat, although we prune
the online versions into an old directory every so often anyhow... so
maybe this doesn't need doing.
Hopefully that makes things simpler rather than more complex (OK, the
scripting needs fixing, but it needs fixing now).
Comments?
