This is the GIT repository for the Website of project Maxima https://maxima.sourceforge.io
You are welcome to keep a mirror of Maxima's Website in you own site or to use it as a template for your own Website. To do that, you just have to retrieve this repository somewhere in your own site. It will work without any additional configuration or external files.
A copy of this repository will even work locally in your computer, even if you don't have a Web server installed. This could be a handy way of keeping a local copy of all the information in the Website. All you need is a Web browser. Simply point your browser to file:///dir/index.html, where dir is the name of the directory where you retrieved this repository.
You can help us by correcting any typos you find, translating pages to other languages or adding new pages. Just copy the page you are going to modify or translate to your disk, edit it and send the result to villate@fe.up.pt.
If you are a member of the project, you can also commit your changes directly into the Git repository. If you are not a member but would like to have write privileges to help improve the site, ask villate@fe.up.pt or other project administrators to give you access.
After committing any modifications to the repository, the Sourceforge Web server pages must be refreshed manually by copying any new files and updating changed files in the Web server. If you are not a member of the project, the project administrators will do that once they become aware that the repository has changed or you can request a Web server update in the mailing list.
If you are a member of the project and you use Linux, you can update the pages in the Web server using rsync. First move to the directory where you have your copy of the Web repository, make sure you don't have any additional files or changes that have not been committed, and then issue the following command:
rsync -avz --exclude "ext" --delete * username@web.sf.net:/home/project-web/maxima/htdocs
Where username should be replaced with the username you use in Sourceforge. In addition to rsync, you can also use sftp or scp to copy files to the web.sf.net; if you use one of those programs instead, make sure you send any new files, update the files that have changed and delete the ones that have been removed from the repository.
Big external documents should be archived in the subdirectory ext/, which is not under version control. If you add any files to that directory, use the following command (or equivalent) to copy them to Maxima's Website:
rsync -avzu ext username@web.sf.net:/home/project-web/maxima/htdocs
