Another approach I have seen (and used) is to check the *built* site into the source repository. That way the tools to construct it don't need to be run on the server at all. That approach works better with a DAG-based version control system than with svn, though, because you have to be more careful about handling merges correctly. I will look over the instructions Martin sent, and understand how to make the current system work before I make any sorts of suggestions for changes, though. :-) Doug _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
