Folks, As part of the response to the recent compromise of ASF servers [1] the infrastructure team are introducing a new way to sync web sites from svn and are looking for PMS to volunteer to test the new process.
I'd like to volunteer the Tomcat website. Any objections? I'm happy to take on fixing any teething problems. The advantage is that commits to svn will be reflected on the live site within a few seconds. If we want we can also have a staging site tomcat.staging.a.o where we could preview stuff [2] My own view is that a staging site isn't necessary. Our site is simple. We can test locally before committing and with commits affecting the live site within a few seconds, fixing any snafus should be easy. Cheers, Mark [1] http://blogs.apache.org/infra/ [2] This require a separate svn location to sync from. Something like: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site/branches/live would sync to http://tomcat.apache.org/ and http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site/trunk would sync to http://tomcat.staging.apache.org/ and we would have to svn merge changes from trunk to live. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
