6 How to update gnulib manual on www.gnu.org
7 ------------------------------------------
9 1) You need a non-anonymous checkout of the web pages directory.
11 $ cvs -d :ext:jas@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/gnulib \
14 2) Get familiar with the instructions for web page maintainers.
15 https://www.gnu.org/server/standards/gnu-website-guidelines.html
16 especially the note about symlinks.
17 Some of this page may also be relevant:
18 https://www.gnu.org/server/standards/README.webmastering.html
20 3) Assuming GNULIB_CHECKOUT refers to a checkout of the gnulib dir,
21 and GNULIB_WWW_CHECKOUT refers to the other directory created above (1),
24 GNULIB_WWW_CHECKOUT=`cd $GNULIB_WWW_CHECKOUT && pwd`
25 cd $GNULIB_WWW_CHECKOUT
26 tar -cf html-CVS.tar manual/html_node/CVS manual/html_node/.symlinks
27 cd $GNULIB_CHECKOUT/doc
29 ../build-aux/gendocs.sh \
31 --email bug-gnulib@gnu.org \
32 -o "$GNULIB_WWW_CHECKOUT/manual" \
33 gnulib "The GNU Portability Library"
34 cd $GNULIB_WWW_CHECKOUT
38 Run 'cvs diff -u' and verify that the output looks sane.
40 4) Commit the modified and the new files.
42 5) Find the files which have not been overwritten (because they belonged
43 to sections that have been removed or renamed):
48 Remove these files and commit their removal to CVS.
49 For each of these files, add a line to the file .symlinks. This will
50 ensure that hyperlinks to the removed files will redirect to the entire
51 manual; this is better than a 404 error.
53 There is a problem with 'index.html' being written twice (once for POSIX
54 function 'index', once for the table of contents); you can ignore this issue.
56 Note: For updating the www.gnu.org pages of *other* GNU packages, package
57 specific scripts can be used, or build-aux/gnu-web-doc-update may possibly
