[gst-devel] web site release structure

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

Hi,

I was looking at the /releases dir on the gstreamer site and maybe it
could do with some cleaning.  My goal would be to lay down a common
structure for putting stuff there for each version as we go (gstreamer
source, rpm's, deb's, prerequisite rpm's and debs for users and
developers) in a common tree for each release.  I'm willing to do that
this weekend.

Here's my idea :

/releases
	/0.2.1
		/src
		/redhat
			/gst
			/gst-devel
			/prereq
			/prereq-devel
		/debian
			/gst
			/gst-devel
			/prereq
			/prereq-devel
	/0.3.0

/redhat
/debian


The idea would be *all* of the packages we ever use as prereq's in /redhat
or /debian and link to them from the relevant dirs in the releases dir.
That way we minimize disk space use while keeping it flexible.

We could also make /latest link to the latest release dir and /next to the
next release dir (read: development dir), so that we can make links to
these in the wiki and not have to worry about updating them.

Let me know if it's worth my while to do this ;)
