<b>Announcement:</b> Gnucash-htdocs Repository Will Be Regenerated Next Week

<b>Announcement:</b> Gnucash-htdocs Repository Regeneration Complete

<h2>Gnucash-htdocs Repository Will Be Regenerated Next Week</h2>
<h2>Gnucash-htdocs Repository Regeneration Complete</h2>

<p>The gnucash-htdocs repository is growing rather large fairly rapidly.
This turns out to be due to the compiled docs that are included in it.
To remedy this we will move the compiled documentation into its own
repository and rebuild the gnucash-htdocs repository without the
compiled docs. This will reduce the repository from over 800Mb to
less than 30Mb.</p>
<p>The gnucash-htdocs repository has been successfully split
into gnucash-htdocs and gnucash-htdocs-docs. The first is to be
used by anyone that wants to alter the content of the website,
the second will only be used by the documentation release manager
to update our binary versions of the GnuCash guide and help manuals.</p>

<p>At the same time we will also deprecate the use of the "trunk"
branch as main branch in that repository and instead use the "master"
branch which is a more common habit in the git world.</p>
<p>As said before if you have a clone of the gnucash-htdocs directory
from before February 13th you will have to reclone the new repository.
If you still have commits that had not yet been pushed upstream you
can follow <a href="http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git#Conversion_Notice">
these instructions</a> to move them over to the new repository.</p>

<p>The side effect is that existing clones of gnucash-htdocs will
no longer match with the history in the new gnucash-htdocs.
<em>If you have a clone or fork of the
current repository you will need to delete it and re-clone from the
new one. </em> If you have local branches which you want to transfer
to the new repository, it's fairly easy, and instructions have already
been added to <a
href="http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git#Conversion_Notice">the
Gnucash-Git Wiki page</a>. <em>You can make the process much easier by
keeping your clone/fork current with the base repository this week.</em></p>

<p><em>Timing:</em>the rebuild is planned for next Thursday, February 13th
around 6-8am PT (9-11am ET, 2-4pm UTC). During that time the gnucash-htdocs
repos on both code.gnucash.org and github.com will be unstable. So avoid
that time frame to push or pull any changes.</p>
<p>Also remember that the primary branch is "master" from now on.
The "trunk" branch has completely been removed. Please don't push
to that branch anymore.</p>
