MartijnVisser opened a new pull request, #29294:
URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/29294
## What is the purpose of the change
The ASF actions allow list dropped `burnett01/rsync-deployments` 8.0.5 on
2026-09-17. Since then every "Build documentation" run ends in
`startup_failure` and no Flink docs have been published to
nightlies.apache.org. This is the third time in a year this action broke the
docs upload, so this PR removes it and runs rsync on the runner. A bump to
9.0.1 would only move the date: 8.0.5 had no expiry either when it was pinned
in June.
## Brief change log
- `docs.yml` and `docs-legacy.yml` upload with `ssh-agent` and `rsync` in a
run step, with the same switches, paths, secrets and host key handling as the
action. The step is inline so it does not depend on files in the checked-out
release branches.
- The build runs as root in Docker and the upload now runs as the runner
user, so the build step makes `docs/target` world-readable first.
## Verifying this change
`docs.yml` does not run on pull requests, so only a manual or scheduled run
after merge exercises it.
- The ASF allow list check (`apache/infrastructure-actions/allowlist-check`)
fails on c8fb3fb0973 because of the 8.0.5 pin and passes on this branch.
- I ran the upload steps from both workflow files as a non-root user against
a local sshd, on a tree built as root. All 8 cases pass, and dropping the alias
check or the chmod fails one case each.
- flink-kubernetes-operator and flink-agents run the same commands on
`ubuntu-latest` with the same org secrets: 51 of 52 scheduled runs green since
the secrets were updated on 2026-08-30.
