Folks

It appears you have the entire project web site checked into the SVN
repository including Maven generated reports

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/site/trunk/www/mime4j/

The idea of storing javadocs, xrefs and similar seems somewhat bizarre
to me. I somehow fail to see any tangible benefits of doing so.

Anyways,
I'll follow the standard procedure without asking too many questions.

I totally agree. On my turn I made questions.

Noel was the champion for this idea. From a recent discussion in infra I understand that this was a requirement when people.a.o was not backupped, but infra team agreed that this can be relaxed now.

I think we'll need a proposal/vote in order to change the current practice, but I'm 100% +1 on a similar change.

Committing generated html to svn seems to me a waste of time and svn resources too!

However I need to know how I should go about updating the content of the
web site in SVN? Am I supposed to svn del the outdated content and add
the new one or shall I try to commit diffs only? Given the fact that the
package structure has changed a lot this is likely to get quite messy.

I usually delete all of the content tree but .svn folders and then put the new generated content there. The svn client usually automatically recognize the new/updated/missing content and commit the add/delete/diff according to this.

BTW I see no big issues if you simply delete the old structure and commit a full new tree. Change tracking is already done in the source xdocs.

When I add new content to the svn/www I also take care of using the appropriate mime types so that the website preview will work directly by browsing the svn server (before running the "svn up" on people).

Just ask if you need help,
Stefano
