GeoServer Website

http://geoserver.org

This repository contains the source for the Github generated GeoServer home page.

Developing

The site is built with Jekyll. To perform a single build of the site:

jekyll build

The site contents will result in the _site directory.

Jekyll can also be run in "watch" mode for development:

jekyll serve -w

The site contents will be served at http://localhost:4000.

Releases

When a release is performed the site contents are updated to reflect the new release. Below is the process of updating site contents for a stable release.

1. Update release/stable/index.html with the details of your new release. The the version tag in the page preamble to the current version, and the jira_version are required. This is the number after fixforversion in links to that version on Codehaus Jira, for example, https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS/fixforversion/20940 for 2.7-RC1 has jira_version of 20940.

2. Copy stable to the appropriate version number (so your blog post has something to link to). For example if the version is 2.5.2 make a copy using:

    cp -R release/stable release/2.5.2
   

3. Update the release/2.5.x/index.html with the next jira_version from the roadmap on Codehaus Jira. This is the number after fixforversion in links to that version, for example, https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS/fixforversion/21000 for 2.8-beta has jira_version of 21000.

4. Update _config.yml and update the stable_version property to the current version. This change will be reflected on index.html and download/index.html.

5. Update the ``download/index.html` by adding your new page to the list.

If performing a maintenance or development release, repeat the above process replacing "stable" with "dev" or "maintain" accordingly.

If creating a new branch, change the entries for "maintain", "stable", and "dev" to reflect the new branch identities.
