Hereby I introduce a ''Development Status'' page, where the
current phase of the release cycle can be marked and similar
status information is published. This page also includes
the Changelog (from the file NEWS). Since updates must
be checked into Git and then pushed to our website,
such status marks are documented in the history.
Some notes regarding the phases of the Release cycle
were also added to the Release checklist.
+ some additional links resources and documentation tweaks
- comb through the Website, starting at the frontpage
- add a **news** entry to confirm this major upgrade step (C++23)
- improve the wording in various overview pages
- adapt the ''release checklist'' to align it with **git-flow**
- reorganise the image folder(s) on the website
- the animated beating heart is back ;-)
On the Website, there is a set of interconnected pages related
to compiling from source, the Debian package and our DEB depot.
Although these pages have always been superficially kept up-to-date,
the overall presentation feels dated and generally not well organized.
During the last weeks, I have almost entirely rewritten all those pages,
added information about the (now reworked) DEB package, explained the
alternate ways to build from a Debian source package (notably the
`mk-build-deps` for handling the build dependencies, which effectively
the only method which always worked during the last years, since our
DEB package was totally outdated)
Furthermore, I have tested most of the build steps with the current
source trees, repositories and package definition, and finally I
have also updated and polished the front-page of our DEB-Depot
(-> see commit on the depot-Branch)
Wheew ... quite some work done!
Some sections of the Lumiera website document meeting minutes,
discussion protocols and design proposals from the early days
of the project; these pages were initially authored in the
»Moin Moin Wiki« operated by Cehteh on pipapo.org at that time;
this wiki backed the first publications of the »Cinelerra-3«
initiative, which turned into the Lumiera project eventually.
Some years later, those pages were transliterated into Asciidoc
semi-automatically, resulting in a lot of broken markup and links.
This is a long standing maintenance problem problem plaguing the
Lumiera website, since those breakages cause a lot of warnings
and flood the logs of any linkchecker run.
- most notably the NOBUG logging flags have been renamed now
- but for the configuration, I'll stick to "GUI" for now,
since "Stage" would be bewildering for an occasional user
- in a similar vein, most documentation continues to refer to the GUI
* rfcs are now all stored in the rfc folder (formerly hold the final rfcs)
* a new rfc_final folder is created
* the state folders (rfc_final|pending|parked|dropped) now contain
symlinks back to the rfc pool
