Here are the instructions I sent David Fifield when he asked about editing the website. I hope they are useful for you too! --Roger See the Makefile.local file in your website/trunk/ directory. Uncomment TORGIT and point it to a tor git. Then apt-get install wml and (alas) probably a shocking number of other debs. Then you can type 'make' and it will build the website for you locally. It's probably a smart move to see whether 'make' works before you svn commit any changes to the wml file. You can edit docs/en/pluggable-transports.wml (and that is the right source file to edit, not the html). But go take a look at that file. You'll notice it has a bunch of tags like . If you're just bumping version numbers, you probably just want to change the definition of those tags. They're in include/versions.wmi (Every once in a while you may need to edit pluggable-transports.wml too -- generally when you change the file name so drastically that just changing the versions.wmi tags isn't enough.) If you want to push your locally built website to the remote webserver, run the ./publish script in website/trunk/. It will rsync everything over, and then it will ask www-master.tp.o to run its trigger-mirrors script which causes www-master to rsync to all the servers in the www.tp.o rotation. To push the website, you'll need to be in the torwww ldap group (which is separate from whether you can commit to svn). Alas, https://www.torproject.org/dist/ isn't in version control. You write to it by ssh'ing to www-master.torproject.org and going to /srv/www-master.torproject.org/htdocs/dist/ and then sticking your stuff there. When you want it to go live, you run ./publish from your local website checkout, which will trigger the trigger-mirrors run. (It's possible that you can simply run /home/mirroradm/bin/trigger-mirrors on www-master too, but I've never tried.) Weasel has hopes that somebody will write some scripts to make maintaining packages in dist/ less awful -- automatically check that they have signatures and that the sigs match, that the items on the website are in fact in dist, only allow certain people to put files in certain places, etc. One day! :)
