How to publish the Rat website

 The {{{https://creadur.apache.org}Apache Creadur}} project, the community
 that develops {{{https://creadur.apache.org/rat}Apache Rat}},
 hosts its website on the
 {{{https://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html}ASF Content Management System}}.
 {{{https://maven.apache.org}Apache Maven}} builds Rat, and generates this
 subsite. Here's (one way) to work with these systems.

* Developing Content

 Build and generate the site using Maven the usual way

+------------------------------------------+
mvn clean site
+------------------------------------------+

 Make your changes to the <<<site.xml>>> and/or <<<.apt>>> files then launch
 a server on <<<localhost:8080>>> using

+------------------------------------------+
 mvn site:run
+------------------------------------------+

 Review {{{http://localhost:8080}<<<localhost:8080>>>}} using a browser, and do more edits.
 You'll see your changes as soon as you refresh the page.

* Committing and Reviewing Content

 As soon as your changes look okay locally on <<<localhost:8080>>>, commit them.
 {{{https://ci.apache.org/buildbot.html}Buildbot}} will automatically
 notice the commit and create a staging site to look at
 {{{https://builds.apache.org/view/A-D/view/Creadur/} https://builds.apache.org/view/A-D/view/Creadur/}}
 which is always up to date (within a couple of minutes of any commit).

 Need to make changes? No problem - go back and repeat the cycle as often as you like.

 Happy with changes and ready to go live? Then read on...

* Publishing the Site

 The publishing process updates the main site with any changes committed since the last
 time the site was published.

 Publishing is a multi-stage process with a mixture of automated
 and manual processing. End to end, the process is slow - perhaps
 taking 30 minutes but close supervision is not required.

** Deploy the Site Locally

 Rat declares a local directory (<<<stage>>>) for Maven
 site deployments. To avoid excessive numbers of commits, the
 local directory needs to remain ignored by <<<subversion>>>.
 As well as being the target for <<<mvn site-deploy>>>, this is also
 the origin for publication.

 Triggering the automated publication pipeline is a two phase process:
 Maven needs to deploy the latest site locally and then
 <<<scm-publish>>> pushes this content into version control.

 If you prefer to be prompted to type your subversion passphrase, edit
 <<<~/.scm/svn-settings.xml>>> to include

+------------------------------------------+
<svn-settings>
  ...
  <useNonInteractive>false</useNonInteractive>
  <useAuthCache>false</useAuthCache>
  ...
</svn-settings>
+------------------------------------------+

 Run both steps together using

+------------------------------------------+

mvn site-deploy scm-publish:publish-scm

+------------------------------------------+

 Publication is slow, and the plugin may wait silently for up to
 30 minutes - so please allow the build enough time to complete.

** Automated Staging of the Site

 The content committed by the Maven <<<scm-publish>>> plugin
 triggers a staging build on
 {{{https://ci.apache.org/}<<<https://ci.apache.org/>>>}}. To
 follow its progress, open the
 {{{https://ci.apache.org/builders/creadur-site-staging}creadur
 site builder}}.

 When this builds has completed successfully, review the content
 staged on
 {{{https://creadur.staging.apache.org/rat/index.html}
 <<<https://creadur.staging.apache.org/rat/index.html>>>}}. If
 this looks fine then publish the staged content using the
 {{{https://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html}ASF Content Management System}}.

 Propagating the content to {{{https://creadur.apache.org/rat}production}} may take a brief while (maybe
 30 seconds) so please be patient a little longer.

* Troubleshooting

  * If you have issues with 'mvn site' failing try running 'mvn clean' then 'mvn install' before going back and running 'mvn site' again.

  * If you experience an Out of Memory error <<java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space>> when running 'mvn site' try setting 'export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m'
     or for Windows 'set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m' first on the command line (or in your profile) and then try 'mvn site' again.
