To publish from trunk/site-author/ Do once: # Create $LENYA_DOCU/deploy.svn.settings file. These credentials # are needed by forrestbot so that it can do your 'svn add' # and 'svn commit' etc. to the lenya/site/ repository. # The deploy.svn.settings file looks like: # Make changes to sources, and then test, then commit. # Use the forrestbot to build and then deploy to svn.apache.org ... forrest -f publish.xml build # ... verify files in build/lenya-docs forrest -f publish.xml deploy -Ddeploy.svn.commit-message="my commit message" Now the files are in SVN at lenya/site Periodically the real website files are updated from there. You do not have to do anything else. ---------------------- Note: The first time that you deploy, it will need to do a long svn checkout first. FIXME: That commit message technique does not work. The second word is treated as an ant target to be called. Just leave it out and forrestbot will use a default message.
