I just committed some changes to the site exporter that should record that the main index page has a {blog-posts} tag in it and if any blogs change (or are added) it should automatically regenerate. That SHOULD remove the requirement to force a rebuild of the whole site for the release announcements.
Next release manager: please pay attention to the builds after adding a blog entry to make sure this actually works. :-) -- Daniel Kulp dk...@apache.org - http://dankulp.com/blog Talend Community Coder - http://coders.talend.com
