If I am correct, according to the attached diagram, when I build a Hippo distribution by running the commands: "mvn verify" and "mvn -P dist" any bootstrap content such as Freemarker scripts and images are NOT included in the tar.gz distribution. If not, how do I make it so that it is?
Thank you in advance for answering.
Thanks for responding. Indeed, your answer seems in accord with Hippo documentation on the matter (with the possible exception of the above diagram). I had earlier created and deployed a distribution, but later repeated the process after having made changes to the bootstrap content (dev server). But these changes were not reflected on the production server, despite setting "repo.bootstrap=true" in setenv.sh.
Have I missed something?

I noticed that upon redeploying the updated distribution to the production server the MySQL database grew in size, so evidently new stuff was successfully transferred, despite the fact I couldn't see it in my browser (presumably because I hadn't followed the steps necessary to force Hippo to reload).
A question: Given the above observation, is it possible that simply emptying the production database would also result in Hippo reloading the complete distribution, and therefore present the website in its most recent form?
Thanks,
Chris.

I am also not sure how to interpret the red boxes in the diagram, but
bootstrap content is just included in the tar.gz.

I have a basic grasp on the concept of bootstrapping, also the general purpose of a repository. But I have been struggling to get to grips with these constructs in the context of Hippo CMS, and this has proved a handicap to building and deploying a Hippo distribution (hence my post). Any chance of expanding on the Hippo documentation on the related subjects of repository and bootstrapping?
Thanks & regards,
Chris.

Thank you for the links, I will do a little more reading. The challenge I'm facing is not a show-stopper - simply working to grow my working knowledge of Hippo, to grasp its architecture and exploit its many features.
The Hippo documentation is, largely, very good: both extensive and detailed. If I've had a frustration it has been following the many documented steps, in an intuitive and sequential manner, to achieve an objective (a production website). The trails, whilst helpful, are not complete instructions. This means jumping around a fair amount, in and out of trails and task specific, stand-alone documents.
An alternative approach:
1) Create a visual index page in the form of a flow chart.
2) Diamond nodes represent implementation options/decisions (e.g. MySQL database on the production server).
3) Rectangle nodes represent necessary steps (e.g. configure JNDI data source), and contain a hyperlink to a specific page in the Hippo documentation.
4) Possible routes to a production website (the usual objective) differ, depending on various implementation possibilities.
5) Like any flow chart, depending on route, not all steps are followed. Still, all necessary steps are included.
Do you think this intuitive approach to navigating (complex) documentation has merit?

Chris.
