User:Vladimir Panteleev/Website staging
The dlang.org staging area provides a controlled environment for building the latest version of dlang.org from GitHub, previewing the website, and uploading it to the live website.
Rationale
(As discussed in issue 14427)
- Removes requirement to install software to fully build dlang.org (e.g. kindlegen)
- Removes requirement to use a Posix OS (completely building the website is currently impossible on Windows)
- Removes issues due to environment (wrong/incompatible software versions, e.g. rsync)
- Removes bottlenecks on Jan (dlang.org system administrator) to add users or resolve permission issues
- Removes upload bandwidth bottleneck for slow connections
- Fixes users having to upload the entire site because timestamps don't match between users' local copies
Usage
- If there have been some significant changes in the build infrastructure which might cause a dirty build, run:
ssh dlang@k3.1azy.net run/clean
This will delete all intermediary files and force clean all repositories (incl. dub stuff). - Run ssh dlang@k3.1azy.net run/update
- Browse to http://dlang.k3.1azy.net/ and make sure there are no glaring problems.
- Run ssh dlang@k3.1azy.net run/upload
If you already have access to dlang.org, send your public SSH key to User:Vladimir Panteleev to get access.
