Remote path '/var/www/domains/springframework.org/static/htdocs' is no
longer hard-coded in docs/build.gradle, because (a) it will be needed
in two separate locations as schema uploads are developed, and (b) this
value should be easily editable during local testing.
:docs:uploadArchives symlink creation now checks to ensure that
any existing wildcard (e.g., 2.0.x) or 'latest-ga' symlinks do
not point to targets with greater lexical value than the version
being published. If so, the symlink will not be overwritten.
EXAMPLE
Given an existing docs/ directory listing as follows:
1.0.3.RELEASE
1.0.x -> 1.0.3.RELEASE
2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
2.0.0.RC1
2.0.x -> 2.0.0.RC1
latest-ga -> 1.0.3.RELEASE
Upon publishing 1.0.4.RELEASE, the directory listing will update as
follows (asterisk indicates added / changed entries):
1.0.3.RELEASE
* 1.0.4.RELEASE
* 1.0.x -> 1.0.4.RELEASE
2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
2.0.0.RC1
2.0.x -> 2.0.0.RC1
* latest-ga -> 1.0.4.RELEASE
This functionality worked as described prior to this change.
However, it would break down in the following scenario. Imagine the
existing directory listing had been as below, following the release
of Spring Integration 2.0.0.RELEASE:
1.0.3.RELEASE
1.0.x -> 1.0.3.RELEASE
2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
2.0.0.RC1
2.0.0.RELEASE
2.0.x -> 2.0.0.RELEASE
latest-ga -> 2.0.0.RELEASE
Note that latest-ga points to 2.0.0.RELEASE. Prior to the changes
in this commit, if a new GA on the 1.0.x line were to be published
the latest-ga symlink would have been incorrectly updated:
1.0.3.RELEASE
* 1.0.4.RELEASE
* 1.0.x -> 1.0.4.RELEASE
2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
2.0.0.RC1
2.0.0.RELEASE
2.0.x -> 2.0.0.RELEASE
! latest-ga -> 1.0.4.RELEASE
! indicates the mistake. We want latest-ga to point to the latest GA
release at all times. This now happens, such that the directory
listing would be updated as follows:
1.0.3.RELEASE
* 1.0.4.RELEASE
* 1.0.x -> 1.0.4.RELEASE
2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
2.0.0.RC1
2.0.0.RELEASE
2.0.x -> 2.0.0.RELEASE
latest-ga -> 2.0.0.RELEASE
Note that 'latest-ga' remains unchanged.
This same logic applies when updating wildcard links. In the rare
case that a 1.0.4.RELEASE were published *after* a 1.0.5.RELEASE,
the wildcard symlink will not be updated. It will remain pointing
to 1.0.5.RELEASE.
.gradle scripts once in gradle/ dir now live in shared buildSrc/ dir.
Some hard-coding of Spring Integration specifics still remain and will
be removed shortly.
