Here is a brief explanation of how it works.
You should have write access to /home/groups/m/ma/maxima/ at
shell.sourceforge.net and to the Maxima CVS repository (i.e. you should be a
developer of Maxima project at the SF).
DO NOT edit the .html files in /home/groups/m/ma/maxima/htdocs since they are
generated automatically. The sources are stored in the CVS module 'site-xml'.
Page template is a .xsl file; the .xml files are being transformed using .xsl.
Please, ensure that your changes are valid XHTML 1.0 Strict or at least
well-formed XML (you can check it by the special tools like xmllint or
xsltproc or by opening XML files in a web browser with built-in XSLT
processor, e.g. Firefox).
At shell.sourceforge.net, you should get XML files from the CVS repository.
Note that only anonymous access is available from SSH and the developer CVS
repository isn't well synchronized with the anonymous one, so you have to
wait some time before doing 'cvs checkout' at shell.sourceforge.net (consult
the SF docs). After that, you should get XHTML files (using xsltproc command)
and move them to the htdocs.
All that stuff (checkout, transformation, copying to the htdocs) could be
performed by /home/groups/m/ma/maxima/getxhtml.pl script. Now it should be
called manually when needed, but I guess we can schedule its execution.
Example session:
# ssh user at shell.sourceforge.net
-bash-3.00$ cd /home/groups/m/ma/maxima/
-bash-3.00$ ./getxhtml.pl
Contact me if there are some problems with permissions on files in htdocs.
