Forrestbot?

Forrestbot is a glorified Ant script which automates the process of
checking out a site's contents from CVS, building the docs and uploading
the docs somewhere.  It currently has no official role in the
getting-HTML-onto-Apache process.


Where?  Is the login that appears at forrestbot.cocoondev.org my
cvs.apache.org logname and passwd?  The login transaction is not
secure.

forrestbot.cocoondev.org currently plays no role in the process of
checking HTML into xml-site.  It could in future, but not yet.

The username/password is forrest-dev/forrest-dev.  Logging in simply
allows you to trigger a refresh of forrestbot.cocoondev.org/site/xml-fop.


From the point above, this process is just like the previous one. I have a checkout on my system of xml-site/targets/fop for just this purpose. The only difference was that I would perform a cvs update of the FOP site manually, on xml.apache.org, after committing the changes. So where does forrestbot come in?

It doesn't :)  Sorry if I implied it did by posting that URL in the
middle of the discussion.

However, if no-one comes up with a better mechanism for updating the live
site than xml-site/targets/*, then I will enable the commit-to-Apache-CVS
button, and forrestbot.cocoondev.org will be useful as more than just a
staging server.
Jeff,

Thanks for the clarifications. We're all stumbling towards a solution, it seems.
