Plugin deployment wastes disk space and bandwidth
-------------------------------------------------
Key: FOR-890
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-890
Project: Forrest
Type: Improvement
Components: Plugins (general issues)
Versions: 0.7, 0.8-dev
Reporter: Ross Gardler
Priority: Minor
When we deploy a plugin or plugin docs (or even just the plugin descriptor) the
first thing that happens is that we update the plugins section of the site from
SVN.
This checkout is at present, held in the build directory.
I have two issue with this:
1) if there is a separate checkout of the site on the local machine this is
duplicated content
2) if a ./build.sh clean is performed the checkout is lost and therefore must
be done again - wasting bandwidth and time
So, what to do...
For 1) we can allow a local property file to override the settings for the
relevant ant properties in plugins/build.xml:
deploy.plugins.svn-dir
deploy.docs.svn-dir
For 2) we can change the checkout location to $FORREST_HOME/work/...
