The sources are held under: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-author However, there are support files in other directories, in particular the lib/ directory. > 2) to figure out what command-line arguments to pass to ant or to build.sh or > whatever to tell it to build to a specified target directory also named > "content" > but with a different base directory. The output currently goes to https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-publish. I think most files under site-publish are derived from site-author; however there are probably some that are only in site-publish. For example, .htaccess seems to be only in site-publish. Probably the first task is to ensure that all site-publish files are derivable from site-author. Can then rename the input directory, and fix up the build file. Changing the output directory would be a bit more involved as it is used for the workspace on minotaur. Would it be possible to switch to the eventual svnpubsub target without actually switching to CMS yet? Could then switch the workspace on minotaur to use the new content output directory. Once that's working, then CMS could be plugged in. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
