Hey everyone!
Docs are being converted to a new build engine called Antora. A preview
is already available in staging at
docs.stg.fedoraproject.org
<
http://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org>. Please note that the design is
still being finalized. We will switch the production instance on 1
August 2018. To prepare we need to take several actions and that
includes asking you to merge some PRs that will reorganize your docs
repo to work with the new tool. Your content will not be modified. The
content will continue to be in AsciiDoc.
To accomplish this, we are requesting that you observe a freeze between
Friday 27 July and Sunday 29 July during which the following steps will
be done:
1. All existing content needs to be converted to the Antora structure
(
https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/template/branch/antora). Someone from the
Docs team will send you a PR during the freeze.
2. Please don't modify your repository during the freeze. We encourage
you to merge any complete PRs before the freeze. PRs opened during the
freeze will need to be restructed to the new repository structure after
the freeze before they can be merged. The only PRs you should merge
during the freeze are the ones filed by the team converting your repo to
Antora.
3. We will not be rebuilding the production site after the freeze starts
until 1 August. The stage site will be built to show the new builds so
you can check them after the freeze.
4. The site will be deployed to the stage instance,
docs.stg.fedoraproject.org <
http://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org>.
5. At the end of the freeze, a confirmation will go out that
contributions can continue. Periodical rebuilds of the stage site will
continue. Production will get its first update on 1 August.
I will be available on IRC (asamalik), Telegram (@asamalik), and email
during the freeze for help. Although I’m in Europe, I’ll do my best to
be available even later in the evening for our US-based contributors.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hey Adam, I forgot to reply here. Thanks for your help working on this.
Keep us posted for how things go with the migration. We will keep an eye
out for an updated production site. :-)
