For those that haven't stumbled across it, the entire web source tree is
available via cvs check out as just another module ... source, data, www,
...
http://cvs.flightgear.org/viewvc/www/
So Martin and other developers can check out a local copy and make changes
and then commit them back to the cvs repository. I know Martin has done a
little of this in the past.
This doesn't cause the changes to automatically make it to the actual web
server though.
I don't have a good way to grant actual physical access to the web server
(it's a commercial service so access to the web account has paypal and
credit card and other personal information implications that I'm not going
to share.)
So the deal is that anyone with developer cvs access can check out a copy of
the web source tree, make updates, and then commit them back to the
repository. CVS access is provided with the assumption that our developers
will act in good faith, just like with source code and documentation, and so
far we haven't had many problems. Once the changes are commited to cvs, the
developer has to notify me so that I can run a "cvs update" locally and then
push the changes up to the web server.
I hope this isn't too unreasonable for most people. I could publish the web
server account name and password, but then I suspect there wouldn't be much
FlightGear content on our web page most of the time ... and I don't know if
they could empty my paypal account and spend into my bank account, but
certainly I could end up purchasing a lot of new domain names and services
that I probably wouldn't have otherwise picked up myself. :-)
Best regards,
Curt.
