rabbitmq.com

This repository contains source code for rabbitmq.com content.

All changes that need to be deployed right away need to be committed to the live branch.

Changes which should be deployed when the next patch release (a.k.a. stable) of RabbitMQ ships should be committed to the stable branch.

Changes which should be deployed when the next minor release (a.k.a. master) of RabbitMQ ships should be committed to the master branch.

Branches

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.

Development environment

Running a Local Copy

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-pygments

to 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 graphviz

If 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.atom

On OS X

Using Homebrew, you can install the necessary parts with:

brew install python
pip install lxml markdown

Using the system Python, you can install the necessary parts with:

sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install lxml markdown

Modes

The 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.
