This all requires quickbook and python on your path. Working on the live site directly, so check the changes before checking in. The site is checked out from:

​https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/live/

Cycle start

• Copy template from feed/templates/boost_x_xx_x.qbk to feed/history/boost_1_50_0.qbk (using the appropriate version number).
• svn add that file.
• Edit file to use the correct version number.
• Run site-tools/update.py.
• svn add the new release notes file created in users/history/.
• Check the changes are okay (dev.rss should be the only updated feed, also some changes to generated/state).

Updating release notes

• Edit feed/history/boost_1_50_qbk (using the appropriate version number).
• Run site-tools/update.py
• Check the changes are okay (if there are no status changes then only the release notes html page, the dev.rss feed, and files under generated/state should be updated).
• Check the changes in.

Add documentation to site (beta and final, requires ssh access, and write permissions for site)

• ssh into the site
• Download the boost_version.tar.bz2 file using wget.
• Expand using tar -xjf.
• Move to site using sudo mv boost_version /u/grafik/www.boost.org/archives/live/
• Store the compressed file: sudo mv boost_version.tar.bz2 /u/grafik/www.boost.org/archives/live/zipfiles
