Two improvements over your setup: * you can have your own domain point to the pages (e.g. docs.sympy.org are hosted at github servers) * you can set the "gh-pages" as the default (and only) branch in the datarray-doc, just like this: https://github.com/sympy/sympy_doc, and then this little issue becomes a non-issue, because you just pull and push into the repo and don't worry about anything (there is no master branch, just the gh-pages branch, and as a result, you just do "git pull, git push origin") Ondrej _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list Cython-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
