So updating with Sebb's response:
Hi,
Can be done by Attic:
- Create page on Attic site
- Inform users
- Delete from committee-info.txt (members)
- Remove from www.apache.org navigation
- Announce on announce at apache.org
Needs permissions from Infra for Attic:
Shouldn't the (svn) permissions for 'site' and 'dist' be
transfered from project committers to attic committers ?
to freeze the web-site and dist-area, and let 'attic' do
its thing?
for dist : [eg esme] https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/esme
eg : svn ls -v https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/esme
[ there may also be a https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/esme ]
for site : don't know how this would work for a CMS site.
- Update website with Attic notice
- Update HEADER.html in downloads
- Update the project DOAP file
- 6 months+: strip dist/project and add a .htaccess redirect
Needs to be done by Infra:
- Point SVN mails to general at attic
- Make SVN + JIRA/Bugzilla read-only
- Turn off automated builds
- Close down infrastructure resources
- 6 months+: Consider deleting the user list
With sites on the CMS, updating the website with an Attic notice is likely
to be a challenge. Typically I did a search and replace on every .html page
and inserted a <div> at the top of the page. Any thoughts from anyone
CMS-knowledgable about whether it's best to try and do that in the CMS
somehow, or perhaps to have a more programmatic notion that marks a site as
retired and inserts a header?
... or add to the site's style-sheet
body:before
{ content:"This project retired ...";
background-color:yellow;
float : top ;
color:red;
font-weight:bold;
}
