Hi,
I'd like to suggest that we add a step to the release procedure, namely
that we generate the documentation as PDFs. I've prepared a location for
these files in a directory structure on aussie under the directory
/home/lyx/www/pmwiki/uploads/LyX/Documentation
This directory structure and its contents are automatically shown in the
wiki page
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Documentation#PDFs
My suggested structure is simply
1.5.0/
1.5.1/
1.5.2/
1.5.3/
1.5.4/
...
but we can of course make it deeper, i.e.
1.4/
1.4.0/
1.4.1/
1.5/
1.5.0/
1.5.1/
Once the PDFs have been created, they could just be scp:ied to their
proper location. So for the 1.5.4-series, it's probably just a matter of
doing:
scp *.pdf \
aussie.lyx.org:/home/lyx/www/pmwiki/uploads/LyX/Documentation/1.5.4
Do we really need to keep a PDF of the documenation for 1.5.0, 1.5.1,
1.5.2, 1.5.3 and so on? Well, I'll leave that question to be discussed on
Friday... :-)
Best regards,
Christian
PS. I was previously worried about storing "important" files that
shouldn't be modified in the "upload/"-area which is handled by the file
managment software IPFM. Since then, I've remembered that IPFM has the
"feature" that files/directories that were manually created by e.g. SSH
may not be modified via IPFM. This means that as long as we just 'scp'
the files into the area, they cannot be modified by IPFM.
