What is the process for creating the > documentation here? Is it done automatically by some cron job? gtk-doc.sgml? there's no such file, did you mean gtk-faq.sgml? that is part of the gtk+ module so it gets shipped together with gtk, and given the right sgml tools, also gets build together with gtk. i currently have two scripts hooked up via cronjob on gtk.org. one reinstalls gtk-web using a copy of install.sh, the other updates the faq+tutorial using db2html, sgml2html and a copy of online_faq_fix. both are triggered after gtk-web commits. i'm afraid there're no other formal processes beyond this... ;) > When releasing, do we run the last_10.pl script? not, that i'm aware. and i guess Matthias also doesn't run it after a release. > When do we run the update_mirrors.sh script? Do we even use it any more? hm, i guess only Owen would know. looks like it updates mirrors_list.html in gtk-web, which actually gets installed as http://gtk.org/mirrors_list.html. however no gtk.org page currently links to that list... > Who uses the install.sh script?
