The Docutils web site, <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/>, is maintained automatically by the docutils-update script, run as an hourly cron job on shell.berlios.de (by user "felixwiemann"). The script will process any .txt file which is newer than the corresponding .html file in the project's web directory on shell.berlios.de (/home/groups/docutils/htdocs/aux/htdocs/) and upload the changes to the web site at SourceForge. For a new .txt file, just SSH to <username>@shell.berlios.de and

cd /home/groups/docutils/htdocs/aux/htdocs/
touch filename.html
chmod g+w filename.html
sleep 1
touch filename.txt

The script will take care of the rest within an hour. Thereafter whenever the .txt file is modified (checked in to SVN), the .html will be regenerated automatically.

After adding directories to SVN, allow the script to run once to create the directories in the filesystem before preparing for HTML processing as described above.

The docutils-update script is located at sandbox/infrastructure/docutils-update.
