Steve Rowe commented on SOLR-10295: ----------------------------------- bq. I guess one of us should talk to INFRA about what our options might be here. I see on this INFRA wiki doc page that there are currently two Jenkins nodes (H19 and H20) that are intended to be used for website publishing: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Jenkins+node+labels bq. Nodes that are reserved for ANY project that wants to build their website docs and publish directly live (requires asf-site and gitpubsub. See Docs here) The Docs link is missing though :(. I found this INFRA JIRA issue that appears to have some helpful info: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10722 > Decide online location for Ref Guide HTML pages > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-10295 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10295 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Sub-task > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Components: documentation > Reporter: Cassandra Targett > > One of the biggest decisions we need to make is where to put the new Solr Ref > Guide. Confluence at least had the whole web-hosting bits figured out; we > have to figure that out on our own. > An obvious (maybe only to me) choice is to integrate the Ref Guide with the > Solr Website. However, due to the size of the Solr Ref Guide (nearly 200 > pages), I believe trying to publish it solely with existing CMS tools will > create problems similar to those described in the Lucene ReleaseTodo when it > comes to publishing the Lucene/Solr javadocs (see > https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ReleaseTodo#Website_.2B-.3D_javadocs). > A solution exists already, and it's what is done for the javadocs. From the > above link: > {quote} > The solution: skip committing javadocs to the source tree, then staging, then > publishing, and instead commit javadocs directly to the production tree. > Ordinarily this would be problematic, because the CMS wants to keep the > production tree in sync with the staging tree, so anything it finds in the > production tree that's not in the staging tree gets nuked. However, the CMS > has a built-in mechanism to allow exceptions to the > keep-production-in-sync-with-staging rule: extpaths.txt. > {quote} > This solution (for those who don't know already) is to provide a static text > file (extpaths.txt) that includes the javadoc paths that should be presented > in production, but which won't exist in CMS staging environments. This way, > we can publish HTML files directly to production and they will be preserved > when the staging-production trees are synced. > The rest of the process would be quite similar to what is documented in the > ReleaseTodo in sections following the link above - use SVN to update the CMS > production site and update extpaths.txt properly. We'd do this in the > {{solr}} section of the CMS obviously, and not the {{lucene}} section. > A drawback to this approach is that we won't have a staging area to view the > Guide before publication. Files would be generated and go to production > directly. We may want to put a process in place to give some additional > confidence that things look right first (someone's people.apache.org > directory? a pre-pub validation script that tests...something...?), and agree > on what we'd be voting on when a vote to release comes up. However, the CMS > is pretty much the only option that I can think of...other ideas are welcome > if they might work. > We also need to agree on URL paths that make sense, considering we'll have a > new "site" for each major release - something like > {{http://lucene.apache.org/solr/ref-guide/6_1}} might work? Other thoughts > are welcome on this point also. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
