Hi all
Since I'm new here as a committer, I have a couple of questions
regarding deployment.
1. The main Maven site
Is any committer allowed to deploy (or publish) the site at any time?
What's the procedure for doing that? Do you just check out the latest
from svn and do:
mvn site-deploy
Are there any special prerequisites, like what version of Maven and
the site plugin to use, that you must fulfill before you do it?
Perhaps some bits to put in your settings.xml.
Assuming you know what you are doing, I think this is fine. mvn
site-deploy with the latest release of the site plugin (which I think is
recorded in the site pom) should be fine (it requires maven 2.0.4+, so
that is a prereq). Default permissions should be fine.
OK.
2. A Maven plugin site
Same questions as for the main site. I understand that one can't
deploy a plugin site which has changes in it relating to features not
yet released.
Correct. However, there is that new @since feature for fields - if we do
that for goals and are disciplined about documenting new features with a
note to say what feature it was added in, this should be fine to do
whenever as well.
Note that due to the other issue being discussed on the list, you may
need a snapshot of Maven to build plugin sites.
Yes, I have built 2.0.5-SNAPSHOT locally.
When I tried to deploy the site for maven-changes-plugin I got an error
"... Permission denied". A quick check on people shows that I am not a
member of the maven group. Who do I contact to add me?
3. Plugin SNAPSHOT
I would like to deploy a snapshot of the maven-changes-plugin, which
is in the sandbox. Am I allowed to do that? If so how do I do it? I'm
guessing:
mvn deploy:deploy
with some setting to direct it to the snapshot repo.
mvn deploy will do it. The fact that it is a snapshot version directs it
to the correct repo.
Reading docs in different places finally got me through it. I have
deployed my first snapshot :)
If there is an online resource where I can read about all this, then
please direct me to it. I looked but couldn't find any...
Documenting dev procedures is definitely something we need to improve on
as well (its probably taken a back seat to documenting how to use Maven
itself, but it is equally important in getting new people involved).
As I am in the middle of it right now, how about I write something on
the wiki? Say at "Development+Procedures"? Then we can tweak it together.
