Hi Thomas,

thanks for pointing me to turbine-site and the other informations. My
conclusions are now:

I would now update fulcrum-site pom (similar to turbine site) excluding
all fulcrum subdirectories. After this I would ((in trunk) move
fulcrum/xdocs to fulcrum/site/xdocs, remove fulcrum/site/src/site/xdoc
as it is duplicate. After doing this I´ll update site.xml and check the
results (having removed fulcrum/xdocs).

Considering that the subfolders "sites" and "howtos" should certainly
not be excluded (cft.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/turbine/content/fulcrum/
 ), but that both have more html files site-deployed than I actually
could find in any xdocs folder (except intake/xdocs/howto.xml) and that
the missing (howto) files seem to be empty - is it ok, that they will be
overwritten (deleted)?

We have then a single point of entry for fulcrum update (wrapper mode)
at fulcrum-site and each fulcrum module would have its own update
mechanism (fulcrum parser or security is an example of how to do this
best). I think using turbine-parent v3 is a good option, although I made
a mistake saying that fulcrum-parent v2-SNAPSHOT depends on
turbine-parent v2. It depends on v3 and could be used of course on that
condition as well.

Best regards, Georg

I guess "not at all" describes it best. Sorry for the mess.

I don't think so. The Fulcrum site is not a multiproject build AFAIR.
And if it is currently, it should not be. All links are done manually.

Be aware that all module directories *must* be excluded from the
scm-publish plugin or else a commit will delete them. The best option
would be to disable deletes completely. See the Turbine-site POM for an
example.

Well, I tried to kill the additional parent level with the components
that I updated recently. Fulcrum-parser for example derives directly
from Turbine-parent 3. So does Fulcrum-intake.

I don't know if this is wise, however, my related question on the
mailing list remained unanswered. So I decided to go ahead.

Right now this means to configure the assembly plugin in each and every
component POM which is sub-optimal to say the least. I thought about a
"Fulcrum profile" in the parent POM but couldn't get it to work.

Within Apache Commons, there are "proper", "dormant" and "sandbox"
components. I'd suggest to go with these terms. From what I understand,
"dormant" means unmaintained whereas "sandbox" means "not yet released".

Hope this helps.
Bye, Thomas.
