Consolidation of kde domains to the main server? (was: Re: Structure of our websites (in CVS + on the servers))

[Jason Bainbridge]

I agree with that totally, but to do so would require the extra level of abstraction within CVS I described in a previous post.

So the www module would look something like:

/www
    /apps
         /kate
         /all other apps
    /developer
    /home
    /multimedia
        /noatun
        /all other multimedia
    /printing
    /style
    /templates
    /usability

With 'home' housing all of the main kde.org, then the cron jobs for each of the sites could be updated so it grabs the source for the site plus the style & templates directories. To accomplish this on the server side you would probably need symlinks as well eg. /www/usability/templates would need to point to /www/templates but that's a no brainer.

Then if we really must have access to the sites from http://kde.org/path/to/site then they can just be setup as re-directs to http://site.kde.org.

Does that sound anything like a viable plan?

I agree that far, that everything should be using the same templates, and 
should be all in the same CVS tree.  But I don't see the point of moving 
everything off of ktown onto the Trolltech-run www server, or alternately 
moving www onto ktown.  Either way creates a single point of failure for 
group communication.

Do we all agree that it's practical for the different sites to share code 
via cvs, even while being hosted on different servers?
