Jo!
The whole jira-patch-commit workflow for the documentation seems
annoying. At least it annoys me -- in particular the patches don't
show up in my email so I have to visit jira which I try and avoid as
much as possible :-).
Suggestions:
1) create
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/staging
writeable by *all* committers
svn cp http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk \
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/staging
vi infrastructure/trunk/subversion/authorization/asf-authorization
svn commit infrastructure/trunk/subversion/authorization/asf-
authorization
ok
2) create an svn:externals on
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-
publish
like this
website-staging http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/
public/staging/site-publish
so that you can see the work-in-progress at
http://incubator.apache.org/website-staging/
perhaps http://incubator.apache.org/~website-draft-staging/ would be better
3) instead of sending documentation patches, people who are helping
with the documentation work on the staging branch
ok
4) set up svnmerge.py for staging/ and trunk/
* see http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py
* make sure to block the revision from step #2!
looks good
5) propose documentation changes on the mailing list
* get diffs
cd incubator/trunk
svnmerge.py --bidirectional diff > ~/staging-diffs.txt
# or use -r to get only a few revisions
* send diff to mailing list for discussion and lazy
consensus approval
ok
6) merge
cd incubator/trunk
svnmerge.py --bidirectional avail
svnmerge.py --bidirectional # or use -r12345,...
svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt
cd ../staging
svnmerge.py
svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt
bit uncertain whether a single set of drafts will work but willing to
give it a go
so, ok by me
