Hi, I've been writing a new script for generating the release notes, the feeds and some other things. I'd like to put it in place on the live site soon, so that I can use it to update the site for the boost build release. It should now be easier for you to regenerate the release notes. You'll need python and quickbook on your path. Then run: python build/build.py update from the root of the beta site (you can actually run the script from anywhere, you just need to get the path to 'build.py' correct). There are some other commands, but they're probably not very interesting. You'll need to commit all the changes this makes. If something goes wrong, just commit the quickbook files, and let me know so that I can investigate. I'll still handle all of this if you wish, but it should be easier for you if you want to. I'll update the instructions on the site soon. Daniel

Awesome! A couple of requests: 1. Add a README file that describes the purpose of the script and how to use it 2. Call it something less generic (at least until it becomes more so ;->) -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

I added a very basic README, I'll add more detail later.

There's no danger of that happening, it has a very limited use. I renamed it 'site-gen.py'. It's not meant to be installed anywhere so the context should make it clear that it's for the boost site. It only generates a small part of the site, but I haven't got a nice name for the subset.

Thanks. Even a bad name would be better than the possibility that someone will expect it to generate the whole site. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
