Package not accessible via public-repo by "doc" abbrev

[joewiz]

Where is the problem

In the generated package's expath-pkg.xml file.

What is the problem

The same issue I fixed in eXist-db/shared-resources#37 affects the documentation app. Its @abbrev (in expath-pkg.xml under package/@abbrev) used to be "doc", but it is now "exist-documentation".

As a result, the build step during which xars are fetched for the autodeploy directory (https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/blob/develop/build.properties#L33), or calling ./build.sh download-xars (https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/blob/develop/installer/apps.properties#L2), will fail to download the documentation app. Here's the relevant portion of the log from ./build.sh download-xars:

download-xar:
    [fetch] Getting: http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/apps/public-repo/pkg.zip?abbrev=doc&zip=yes&processor=4.5.0-SNAPSHOT

The public repo responds to this request by build script with a 404 error and <p>Package file not found!</p>.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how we should address this in the mavenized build process now used for the documentation app... But you might see how I distinguished between the package "app" name and "abbrev" name in build.properties, build.xml, and expath-pkg.xml.tmpl in my PR that fixed this (again) in the shared-resources app: https://github.com/eXist-db/shared-resources/pull/37/files.

Please provide the following

• exist-db version: 4.x.x-develop
• documentation version: 4.0.3

so to keep this inline with the maven world which might come to exist in the near future, i would suggest fixing build.sh download-xars instead of changing the artifact-id in @abbbrev

While, I remember @dizzzz having strong feelings about not wanting the docs on his exist-instance. Given that we haven't fixed the update cycle of exist-db.org and keep trailing I vote to revisit his objections once the exist-db.org update woes have been addressed.
