Philipp Ottlinger updated RAT-287:
----------------------------------
Priority: Critical (was: Major)
> Migrate site build to new yaml-based operation
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-287
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-287
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: site
> Affects Versions: 0.14
> Reporter: Philipp Ottlinger
> Priority: Critical
>
> TL;DR: if your project web site is kept in subversion, disregard this email
> please. If your project web site is using git, and you have not deployed it
> via .asf.yaml, you MUST switch before July 1st or risk your web site goes
> stale.
> Dear Apache projects,
> In order to simplify our web site publishing services and improve self-serve
> for projects and stability of deployments, we will be turning off the old
> 'gitwcsub' method of publishing git web sites. As of this moment, this
> involves 120 web sites. All web sites should switch to our self-serve method
> of publishing via the .asf.yaml meta-file. We aim to turn off gitwcsub around
> July 1st.
> ## How to publish via .asf.yaml:
> Publishing via .asf.yaml is described at:
> https://s.apache.org/asfyamlpublishing
> You can also see an example .asf.yaml with publishing and staging profiles
> for our own infra web site at:
> https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-website/blob/asf-site/.asf.yaml
> In short, one puts a file called .asf.yaml into the branch that needs to be
> published as the project's web site, with the following two-line content, in
> this case assuming the published branch is 'asf-site':
> publish:
> whoami: asf-site
> It is important to note that the .asf.yaml file MUST be present at the root
> of the file system in the branch you wish to publish. The 'whoami' parameter
> acts as a guard, ensure that only the intended branch is used for publishing.
> ## Is my project affected by this?
> The quickest way to check if you need to switch to a .asf.yaml approach is to
> check out site source page at https://infra-reports.apache.org/site-source/ -
> if your site is listed in yellow, you will need to switch. This page will
> also tell you which branch you are currently publishing as your web site.
> This is (should be) the branch that you must add a .asf.yaml meta file to.
> The web site source list updates every hour. If your project site appears in
> green, you are already using .asf.yaml for publishing and do not need to make
> any changes.
> ## What happens if we miss the deadline?
> If you miss the deadline, don't fret. Your site will of course still remain
> online as is, but new updates will not appear till you create/edit the
> .asf.yaml and set up publishing.
> ## Who do we contact if we have questions?
> Please contact us at us...@infra.apache.org if you have any additional
> questions.
