This is the https://octave.org website development repository.
The development and deployment workflow in short:
-
The website development repository is located at:
-
Static HTML pages are generated from these repositories and deployed at
- https://octave.org (Digital Ocean)
- https://gnu-octave.github.io (GitHub Pages for testing)
-
For testing changes, updates to GitHub Pages happen automatically by pushing to the respective repository.
-
The deployment on Digital Ocean https://octave.org has to be done manually.
- Login to the Digital Ocean server with root permissions.
-
cd /var/www/www.octave.org/ rvm use 3.3.1 git pull bundle install bundle exec jekyll build chown -R root:www-data * chown -R root:www-data .* - Changes are now live on https://octave.org.
The static website is build to the
/var/www/www.octave.org/_sitedirectory and served from there to https://octave.org.

Duplicate another post in the subdirectory _posts and adjust the filename,
especially the date.
Be sure to choose the correct categories!!
categories: news release is reserved for release announcements, those posts
are also displayed inside the Octave GUI. Consider choosing another category
like categories: news or alike for less important news.
To build the static website offline, you need to install Bundler. For Debian/Ubuntu please perform the following setup fist. For other Linux distributions this command might change.
sudo apt-get install bundler
From now on, everything is handled by Bundler. Install all required dependencies for the static Octave website by running
bundle install
from within the checked-out website development repository.
For the responsive webpages, we internally use the Foundation 6 framework. All necessary files are already included inside this website development repository.
All relevant information for Bundler to build the static website are located in
the files _config.yml, Gemfile, and Gemfile.lock. Typing
bundle exec jekyll build
from the repository root directory will build a complete static website
into the subdirectory _site using this information. This directory is
ignored by Mercurial and will be created on first build.
Especially for development, it is beneficial to watch the changes locally before pushing any changes. Jekyll provides a local webserver by typing
bundle exec jekyll serve
and rebuilds the whole static website automatically, as it monitors any file changes.
