Hi,

The problem for the download page is now fixed, but it has raised some
questions about how we manage our web site:
- we are not in sync with what the apache documentation says on how to
manage web sites [1]. We should put generated site in svn to comply
- by uploading the generated web site, we do not support the executable flag
which is a problem for download.cgi
- uploading the whole site takes a long time sometimes for small changes
only, using svn would rely on diff only which would make the "upload" (would
be a commit actually) more efficient.

Hence I'm in favor of storing the result of site generation in svn and
checkout this result on people.a.o for the web site. Making changes to the
site would still be done to the site source, and a generation (requiring ant
1.7 and java 6) would still be necessary.

WDYT?

Xavier
