6.2 Uploading website

Overall idea

The website is generated by converting the Documentation/*/web.texi files to HTML, and reorganizing the resulting files into out/website-root/. This is controlled from toplevel GNUmakefile and Documentation/GNUmakefile.

To build the website, run make website. This leaves the website in out/website-root/.

The website is deployed onto lilypond.org in the following steps:

• Run the manual job to build the website, either for the merge request you want to deploy or for the latest pipeline on master at https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/pipelines, by clicking the play button.
• This runs make website and stores the result in a website.zip artifact.
• On lilypond.org, the downloader https://gitlab.com/lilypond/infrastructure/-/blob/master/website/main.go is run every 2 hours, from a systemd timed job. If a newer website.zip is found, it is unpacked into the website directory on lilypond.org.
