Honestly, who knows or uses the .us and .eu DNS names?
the requirement seems quite theoretical to me: is not worth making site
maintenance harder
but I had a little idea on the flag file creation that could do the job, while
even simplifying site maintenance = what it is more about
since what we need is just to create flag file, why not code the creation
basically in build.sh, in basic shell
with a basic convention like adding XML comments in projects/*.xml:
<!--
retired flag: oltu
-->
build.sh could basically do:
for retired in `grep 'retired flag:' xdocs/projects/*.xml | awk '{ print $3 }'`
do
for d in $retired $retired.us $retired.eu
do
mkdir docs/flagged/$d.apache.org
touch docs/flagged/$d.apache.org/$d.apache.org
done
done
I know, I know, that's not very elegant...
But it would ease maintenance just now, isn't it? and as a side effect, treat
the .us and .eu DNS names...
(and nobody will cry when reimplementing the feature with a new build tool)
