[ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SITE-8?page=comments#action_37757 ] Ted Husted commented on SITE-8: -------------------------------
I guess what really bothers me is the use of .x for Struts 1 and .0 for Struts 2. So, I'll go for the minimum change of changing the website location from /2.0/ to /2.x/, and leave the rest alone. So we will have archival versions of the documentation for specific releases at /1.2.9, /1.3.5, /2.0.0 and so forth, and the head of each major release series at 1.x and 2.x. -T. > Website archive handling > ------------------------ > > Key: SITE-8 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SITE-8 > Project: Shared resources > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ted Husted > > We have started to provide archives of past GA releases on the website under > folders named for the version. > * http://struts.apache.org/1.2.9/ > We could start creating the versioned folders upfront and then redirecting > from struts/1.2 to struts/1.2.9, and so forth. > If we want to do that, then we should setup physical folders for 1.3.5 and > 2.0.0 and setup the appropriate redirects for struts/1.3 and struts/2.0 to > the latest versions. Then once each version rolls, we could create the 1.3.6 > and 2.0.1 folders and update the redirects. > In this way, people could link to Struts/1.3 or Struts/2.0 and be directed to > the site for the latest working milestone in the each minor series. We could > also create redirects for Struts/1.x and Struts/2.x to link to the lastest GA > milestoren for each major release series. > One issue to consider is what do we do if a version does not go GA. If we had > been doing this all along, then we would have created a website folder for > 1.3.1. Would we have kept 1.3.1 around once we decided it was a permanent > Alpha, or do we delete folders for versions that we know are not going GA? > If we are careful to constrain the references to a specific version of the > website, it would be possible to remove "beta" release sites, so that we only > retain the GA sites over time. > For background see: > * http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40struts.apache.org/msg23359.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/struts/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
