Spent some time this evening getting the bluesky website cleaned up in the svn repository. If you want to make updates to the site, here is how you do it:

First: On your machine... checkout the bluesky website from the svn repo
$ svn co  https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/bluesky/webpage  .

Edit the website files as needed.

Second: Check-in your changes to the website svn repo
$ svn commit -m "a brief message describing what you changed"

Your changes & updates are now checked into the svn repo, next you need to 'publish' the site:

Third: ssh into people.apache.org
$ ssh people.apache.org
$ cd /www/incubator.apache.org/bluesky/

Fourth: check out the website from svn
$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/bluesky/webpage .

The site is now published. It will probably take a few hours for the infrastructure to pick up the changes, so don't expect to see the changes show up immediately.

The next step is very important...

Finally: Change the website permissions to give all bluesky committers permission to update the site on people.apache.org
$ chmod -R g+w *


You should NEVER have to scp files from your local machine to people.apache.org. You should always be able to do your work on your local machine on a copy of the website checked out on your local machine. Check in your changes to the svn repo, then check out your changes on people.apache.org.


That's it. Let me know if you have any questions...

Bill
