That would (kinda) solve the problem for now; but the deeper
underlying problem is that I think we're reaching the limit of what
we can sensibly do with Git :)
This was only ever a stop-gap mechanism while we implemented
proper packaging for the docs; unfortunately, like many systems
that work "well enough", we never got to replacing it.
Personal admission: it was actually my personal goal during my year
on the board to make this happen, but I never got to it ;)
So: what do we need?
1. I think the procedural obstacles to getting every writer and
translator access to Koji are probably bigger than we want to
handle. We therefore need to stand up a build system of our own.
Ideally, this would be a Koji instance of our own: the benefit of
Koji is that it insulates the build process very well from issues
that might be specific to people's own machines. If that's too much
work to pull off in the short term, we should simply create a build
server with current publican and publican-fedora installed on it,
and access granted to anyone in the docs-publishers group. Packages
built on this machine would be placed in a repo.
2. We would need to modify the staging server that currently pulls
our docs.git to instead install packages built on the build
server.
I think that if we pull together, we should be able to get this up
and running reasonably soon. Who's interested in collaborating on a
project like this?
Cheers Rudi
I am! I don't know if I can, time-wise and programming language-wise,
but that's not what you asked.
