Apache Infrastructure Website

This is the source of the Apache Infrastructure team's website, found at https://infra.apache.org/

How to build the Infra Site:

This builds the website and puts its pages in site-generated/

# Fetch the repository containing the plugins:
git clone [-depth 1] https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-actions

# Fetch this repository
git clone [-depth 1] https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-website
cd infrastructure-website

virtualenv $venvname
source $venvname/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

git pull origin master

# Edit all the markdown! (infrastructure-website/content/pages/)

# Run Pelican build:
pelican content -e PLUGIN_PATHS='["../infrastructure-actions/pelican/plugins"]' -o site-generated $FLAGS

# $FLAGS are optional flags:

Preparation

The gfm_reader.py script points to a specific directory on bb-slave1 for loading the libcmark-gfm.so and libcmark-gfmextensions.so libraries. The path should be adjusted for your local installation.

Run build_cmark.sh to build the two libraries. It is then helpful to create a directory (say, build_cmark/lib) with two symlinks from the .so to the longer, version-specific libraries that the above shell script builds.

Preview PRs

To stage a preview of what a PR would result in, be sure to name your branches using the preview/$foo syntax, for instance preview/cleanup-dec-2021. This will auto-build and -stage your changes and make them available at infrastructure-$foo.staged.apache.org, e.g. infrastructure-cleanup-dec-2021.staged.apache.org

Note that underscore is not allowed in DNS, so should not be used in the branch name.
