L.S., Forwarding these questions to the builds@ mailing list - perhaps someone here can help us out with the build related questions about what is possible with buildbot with regards to getting our documentation/website builds automated?
Thanks, Gert ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gert Vanthienen <gert.vanthie...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 5:22 PM Subject: Migrate to svnpubsub and buildbot - what's possible? To: infrastructure <infrastruct...@apache.org> L.S., At the Apache ServiceMix project, we're preparing to migrate our website and documentation to svnpubsub. Both the contents for the website and documentation are being generated using Maven and we can change our builds to allow our committers to deploy the site to an SVN location. However, during the discussion, Dan Kulp also pointed out another solution that would avoid the deploy step, by using buildbot to rebuild the contents automatically for us on checkin. Before we setup our builds to generate contents in an external directory for use in buildbot, we have a few more questions. We are using two external tools for building our documentation pages: Pygments to generate CSS markup for code highlighting and Prince XML to generate PDF documents. Is either one of these already supported on the buildbot machines or should we look into using pure Maven/Java-based alternatives for them? Also, the documentation project contains two branches (for version-based documentation) and the website main contents is coming from another project. Can buildbot be set up to run those build separately and publish into another subdirectory of the website or would it be better to try and create a unified build for everything? Thanks, Gert
