Lukas Theussl commented on MSITE-533: ------------------------------------- First commit at [r1055047|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1055047&view=rev], open for review. > make site:stage a local file deploy > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MSITE-533 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-533 > Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: site:deploy, site:stage(-deploy) > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Lukas Theussl > > As I understand it, site:stage is supposed to be a local preview of > site:deploy. However, the site construction is very different in both cases: > site:stage changes the <url> pom element of each reactor project and > generates the site directly at the final target (staging) location. > Unfortunately, this suffers from a couple of bugs, in particular wrt relative > links in multi-module builds, which is potentially confusing for users (and > certain developers...) if they find that the staged site is different from > the deployed site. site:deploy OTOH generates each site into its own target > and then uses wagon to copy the single sites to the final destination. > I also don't see why SiteStageMojo extends SiteMojo, staging shouldn't have > anything to do with site generation. IMO site:deploy, site:stage and > site:stage-deploy should all do the same basic thing: take a pre-generated > site directory and copy it to some target. The difference is only in the > target location: site:deploy goes to distributionManagement.site.url, > site:stage goes to stagingDirectory on the local file system, and > site:stage-deploy goes to stagingSiteURL. > Since site:deploy supports a local file copy, I propose to replace site:stage > by such a local deploy. This would make site:stage and deploy equivalent, > reduce confusion and maintenance efforts and make site:stage a true preview > per definition.
