Peoples,
Is there a cron job anywhere that auto-updates the incubator site out of CVS?
http://incubator.apache.org/updating_docs.html
doesn't mention one, but at the same time doesn't indicate that you have to log into the site to do a "cvs up".
If there isn't - does anyone mind if I set up a cron job to update the site from CVS every six hours?
The site can be updated directly from the sources using the Forrestbot that is now on forrestbot.cocoondev.org
I have heard the complaints from Jason, Roy, KenC, Sam, and others I lost track of. I agree. The site *must* be easier to update.
Hence this is my proposal which I'll put to action ASAP if there are no wild complaints:
1 - install the forrestbot on Apache hardware
2 - have it regenerate the site from source CVS every day automatically
3 - change the source format of the files from the DocumentDTD that
has to be learnt to html or wiki format.
This will make users:
1 - not necessarily have to install Forrest 2 - edit files easily 3 - have automatic updates
If there are *major* reasons why this should not be done, speak now and bring darn good reasons, as I'm fed up with bickering and want to see things done.
If you can pull that off in short order, fine. Otherwise, I am quite OK with that being a long term plan. Let me be quite clear on what my needs are:
#1: A clearly documented process on how the site is updated
#2: A mechanism for submitting patches for those who can't be bothered.
Personally, I would recommend that effort be focused on an issue tracking system.
If people are willing to put forward concrete proposals and put them forward for a vote, I am quite willing to do my share of the work in updating the site.
