You don't have to use a branch - just check out with the release tag. It is
sticky and will not get updated by cvs update.

You want to update cvsonwin32.xml from the jakarta-site2 module.  Once
you've done that, you execute the Ant build to use Anakia to generate
the HTML version of the XML document, and upload the newly born
cvsonwin32.html file manually.  Make sure that it's accessible over
the web (unix permissions and all that).

If you have any issues, just send me a diff of the xdoc and I'll take
care of it.

Re: Managing project documentation (release vs CVS versions) ?

2002-01-16 Thread Martin Cooper

The Struts site originally had the latest and greatest reflected on the main
page, but this caused a lot of confusion, and innumerable postings to
struts-user. To fix this, we (i.e. Ted :) changed the main page to reflect
the currently released version, but included links to the latest and
greatest at the bottom of the page menu, so that documentation is available
for both versions.

Behind the scenes in CVS-land, we cloned the docs into a 'legacy' directory
when we branched the project, so that we could make changes to both
independently but also make both available on the Struts web site.

Re: Managing project documentation (release vs CVS versions) ?

2002-01-16 Thread Peter Donald

The "recomended" solution for this is to use a branch. ie When you make a 
release you also branch at same instant. Then if you need to update the 
current web docs you modify them in the branch, then update the website 
(which is using last branch released). If you need to update the docs for the 
current CVS then you do it in the main trunk/HEAD revision. When needed you 
merge the branch back into the main trunk.

However I don't know of any projects that do this except for ant. 

It may also require a bit more CVS savvy that normal but should be possible 
to do if that is what cactus/whatever needs.

In velocity-land, we document to the latest-greatest.  I guess it would be
good to note that on the site :)

Then, when a release is made, the docs reflect the state of the project at
the time the branch is made for the release.

Keeps things simple, and we really haven't had a problem yet.  However, this
is a good point, and I'll look into noting that somewhere.

Managing project documentation (release vs CVS versions) ?

2002-01-16 Thread Vincent Massol

Hi,

I have always been pondering how to best manage the following. Should
there be 2 web sites per project : one for the latest release
(containing docs + javadoc corresponding to the latest release) and one
for nightly builds (containing docs + javadocs corresponding to the
latest code) ?

When I work on a new feature that I want to document, I cannot document
it in the xdocs/ directory because next time I change something for the
web site and I want to make that change visible, it will also contain
the new feature documentation. However, that feature is only present in
CVS (not released yet) and users will have trouble understanding why
this feature does not work with the code they downloaded. Of course, I
could have a header that says "WARNING: Feature only available in CVS"
but it is awkward. Another solution is to have 2 xdocs directory but
again this is awkward ...

Any idea ? How are other projects doing this ?

Thanks

There is another risk - that a large committer base of a project or project
bloc could get control of the PMC.  I see no problem with the current group
of people I interact with, but you never know what the future holds.

True. Right now, I monitor the Commons, Lucene, and Taglibs, and only
have commit rights to one of these. 

Since the PMC meets here, the subprojects can represent their own
interests. The primary role of the PMC is to ensure that the ASF bylaws
and Jakarta guidelines are observed, and that Apache resources are not
used in inappropriate ways. 

The PMC gets to vote on new subprojects, but the committee members have
no other special privledges or powers.

It is the same basic procedure that is used to elect the Apache board,
which by definition has a bigger scope than jakarta.

But, as I have said many o' times.  Anybody who wants to take a subset of
subprojects and form a new project will have my support.  I only bristle
when people make suggestions that OTHERS should take THEIR subprojects out
of Jakarta.

It does mean that each member will have to monitor an average of 3

Simply because each Jakarta project doesn't have a committer on the PMC does
not necessarily imply that each project would not have representation on the
PMC.  Hopefully, through the nomination and voting process, each project
would find someone that is willing to represent their interests in the PMC.
Requiring direct representation for each project does not sound like a good
long term strategy.

Sounds good - but this kinda has one other implication. The PMC will no 
longer be able to adequetly cover all sub-projects - it would be quite 
possible that some some projects would be completely without representation.

If this was put in place it kinda suggests that maybe jakarta should not be 
so big ... ;)

[PROPOSAL] Jakarta PMC bylaws change

2002-01-16 Thread Sam Ruby

The number of PMC seats will be set at seven.  Annually, all seven seats
will be up for renewal.  The ASF board will be asked to provide a person or
persons to administer the nominations and a subsequent ballot. The
administrator(s) will determine the mechanics of the voting procedures.
Any committer to any Jakarta code base will be eligible to vote.  Once the
new PMC is in place, the first order of business will be to determine a
chairperson from amongst their ranks.

Once ratified, this proposal would be effective immediately, and an
election would be initiated.

[Fwd: Watchdog download links are incorrect]

Anyone with Watchdog karma up for this?

 Original Message 
Subject: Watchdog download links are incorrect
Date: 14 Jan 2002 13:13:30 -0500
From: Ryan Lubke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,

This issue has been brought up several times in the watchdog mailing
list, yet no resolution has been provided.  I haven't been able to find
the location in CVS where the watchdog page is kept, so I haven't been
able to update it myself.

The following URLs:

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-watchdog/nightly
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-watchdog/nightly/src

*should* be:

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-watchdog-4.0/nightly
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-watchdog-4.0/nightly/src

If the recipient is unable to update the appropriate page, could I
be given a pointer on where the watchdog site is located within CVS so I
can fix this issue?

Thanks,

Ryan Lubke
