This repository contains source code for rabbitmq.com content.
There are a few noteworthy and long-lived named branches in this repository:
| Branch | Description |
|---|---|
| live | The current version of the website. This must represent whatever's deployed to www.rabbitmq.com. |
| stable | Changes to the website that will correspond to the next point (maintenance) release of RabbitMQ. This gets merged into live when the release occurs. |
| master | Changes to the website that will correspond to the next release of RabbitMQ. This gets merged into live when the release occurs. Normally this should represent whatever's deployed to next.rabbitmq.com. |
| stage | The staging version of the website. Only relevant while a release is being prepared, it acts to snapshot master in case changes are made to that during the release process. |
The site requires Python and Python XSLT support for development, and assumes Apache is used for deployment. For simple development on Debian-based systems, it is enough to run
sudo apt-get install python-lxml python-markdown python-pygmentsto install required dependencies and then
./driver.py [www|next|previous]from the base of the repository to run a local version of the site, with page regeneration on reload. The site will be available at http://localhost:8191. Note that using driver.py the site will not feature:
- Any release artefacts (this includes the web versions of the man pages)
- The blog
The script diagrams.py generates PNGs from graph descriptions embedded in files. Generally you don't need to run this, since we check the PNGs in, but if you do want to use it, you'll also need dot:
sudo apt-get install graphvizIf you want the site/news.atom feed generated, you can run the following command:
xsltproc --novalid site/feed-atom.xsl site/news.xml > site/news.atomUsing Homebrew, you can install the necessary parts with:
brew install python
pip install lxml markdownUsing the system Python, you can install the necessary parts with:
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install lxml markdownThe website also has the concept of being deployed in modes. The three modes are:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| www | This is the "normal" mode. You would normally deploy from the live branch with this mode. |
| next | This is the mode for next.rabbitmq.com. This mode has the home page and download page chopped down, no blog or search, and a watermark. You would normally deploy from the master branch with this mode. |
| previous | For previous.rabbitmq.com. The website is reduced in the same way as "next", but this mode is meant for previous releases rather than future releases. |
You determine which mode you are using with an argument to the driver
or deploy scripts. Modes are implemented with the <x:modal/> tag and
the $page-mode variable in XSLT.
