site deployment?

[lukewpatterson]

Couple of questions:

Does it support site deployment?
How chatty are the deployment commits? i.e. is the deployment one big
commit or does it need multiple commits?

Hi

This wagon can be used to deploy a site inside an svn repository, but
i don't have an example of this as i prefer to update site manually.

During the deployment there are a lot of commits, and i can't really
do anything about that - maven opens and closes wagon connection many
times during the deployment process and i have to commit on each close
least i will loose some information. This is the "feature" of the maven
+wagon behavior and all wagons based on the version control will
produce many separate commits.

The example of this is http://code.google.com/p/assertions/source/list?num=25&start=127.
r127 is done manually as i perform some post-processing after the site
is generated, and r115-r126 are the result of the release:prepare and
release:perform with this wagon.

Thanks, Oleg. Great work on this. I'll give it a try.

It's good to know the background reason why deployments span multiple
commits.

I tried the other two competing wagons, but it seems they are stuck in
the mud:

wagon-scm - "Wagon SCM does not automatically create missing
directories during deployment" http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-297
wagon-svn - "doesn't use auto-props" https://wagon-svn.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4

A little warning on autoproperties and site deployment - if you have
svn:eol-style set for .html files then site deployment will probably fail
with infamous "svn: Inconsistent line ending style" because some maven
plugins used in the site generation still produce files with both cr and
cr+lf line endings. See, for example,
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPIR-178 (this one is fixed) and
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JXR-85 (not fixed yet).

Removing (or not configuring in the first place) svn:eol-style settings for
.html and .css files "fixes" this problem, but I still prefer to commit site
manually.

Thanks for the heads up on eol-style issues

Sounds like I might have to throw in some antrun with FixCRLF

notes from the field:

for site deployment it looks like the deploy plugin is getting smarter
in its wagon interaction, not sure when it got better, but I just
deployed a site with maven-deploy-plugin 2.5 and it only needed one
commit
