Thomas Koch commented on ZOOKEEPER-925:
---------------------------------------
Please don't check in _any_ generated files in version control. When I package
zookeeper for Debian (same applies to any other free software distro) I may not
include generated files.
Debian needs to make sure that it has all source files for everything that's
delivered and that it attributes the copyright correctly. Not having any
generated files but to generate everything at Debian package build time makes
this a lot easier.
Just a note: The same applies for the released tarballs, but that's another
topic.

> See WHIRR-19 for some background.
> In whirr we looked at a number of site/doc generation facilities. In the end
> Maven site generation plugin turned out to be by far the best option. You can
> see our nascent site here (no attempt at styling,etc so far):
> http://incubator.apache.org/whirr/
> In particular take a look at the quick start:
> http://incubator.apache.org/whirr/quick-start-guide.html
> which was generated from
> http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/whirr/trunk/src/site/confluence/quick-start-guide.confluence
> notice this was standard wiki markup (confluence wiki markup, same as
> available from apache)
> You can read more about mvn site plugin here:
> http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-site.html
> Notice that other formats are available, not just confluence markup, also
> note that you can use different markup formats if you like in the same site
> (although probably not a great idea, but in some cases might be handy, for
> example whirr uses the confluence wiki, so we can pretty much copy/paste
> source docs from wiki to our site (svn) if we like)
> Re maven vs our current ant based build. It's probably a good idea for us to
> move the build to maven at some point. We could initially move just the doc
> generation, and then incrementally move functionality from build.xml to mvn
> over a longer time period.
