> Key: FOR-1175
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1175
> Project: Forrest
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Launch 'forrest'
> Affects Versions: 0.9-dev
> Reporter: Brolin Empey
> Priority: Minor
>
> Years ago, I asked about this issue on the user mailing list:
> <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.forrest.user/4391/match=skin+directory+copied+unconditionally+static+site+build>
> AFAIK, nothing has changed since then. I want to report the issue here so it
> does not get forgotten.
> Anyway:
> When I rebuild my static site, the "skin" directory seems to be copied
> unconditionally to the build/site/ directory. This means that, because the
> local files have been rewritten and consequently have newer modification
> times than the remote files, skin/ is uploaded each time I use lftp's reverse
> mirror function to publish changes to my public Web site, even if nothing in
> the skin has changed.
> The Ant target that copies the non-generated content to build/site/ should be
> changed to copy files (including skin files) only if the source file has
> changed. Maybe rsync could be used to copy non-generated content.
> If no one fixes this issue, I may use oDesk to hire someone to fix the issue.
> I have already had success with using oDesk to hire Michal Sciubidlo to fix
> Mozilla.org bug 269728. I have hired Michal again to fix Mozilla.org bug
> 178506.
