I think we need a staging area of sorts - a controlled environment which pulls
strictly the website from git, performs a clean build, allows previewing, and
only then uploads it to dlang.org.
This would solve a few issues:
- Removes requirement to install software to fully build dlang.org (e.g.
kindlegen)
- Removes requirement to use a Posix OS (completely building the website is
currently impossible on Windows)
- Removes issues due to environment (wrong/incompatible software versions, e.g.
rsync)
- Removes bottlenecks on Jan to resolve permission issues
- Removes upload bandwidth bottleneck for slow connections
- Fixes users having to upload the entire site because timestamps don't match
between users' local copies
I have something like this on dlang.k3.1azy.net (same server which hosts
forum.dlang.org). Andrei has access already. The workflow is:
1. If there have been some significant changes in the build infrastructure
which might cause a dirty build, run: `ssh dl...@k3.1azy.net run/clean`. This
will delete all intermediary files and force clean all repositories (incl. dub
stuff).
2. Run `ssh dl...@k3.1azy.net run/update`
3. Browse to http://dlang.k3.1azy.net/ and make sure there are no glaring
problems.
4. Run `ssh dl...@k3.1azy.net run/upload`
