We use Middleman to generate the website content. This requires Ruby. It's highly recommended that you use something like rbenv to manage your Ruby versions. The website content has been successfully generated using Ruby version 2.2.2.
Install bundler if you don't already have it:
gem install bundler
Install gems required by website (includes middleman):
bundle install
Middleman includes a server that can be run locally. When making changes to the website it is usually good practice to run the server to see what the changes look like in a browser.
bundle exec middleman
Now visit http://localhost:4567/ to see the website in action.
The static content can be built with:
bundle exec middleman build
This will produces the content in the /build directory.
The static website content is located in another repo:
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/datafu apache-datafu-website
In the apache-datafu-website folder, delete the old content, which we will be replacing with new content:
cd apache-datafu-website rm -rf site
Now copy the built content to the apache-datafu-website folder, replacing the old site folder:
cp -r ~/Projects/incubator-datafu/site/build site
Check what has changed:
svn status
If you have added or removed files, you may need to run svn add or svn rm.
Once you are satisfied with the changes you can commit.
