[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-18590) Split /discovery/ staging site into 3 sites: Core+Central, EA, and Discovery

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18590?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13010788#comment-13010788 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-18590:
------------------------------------

Problems with this change, which need to be solved to make the above proposal possible:

a) will no longer be able to generate a self-contained discovery site which references all the pieces of content for easier *offline* testing, because now we need to generate 3 different URL patterns, rather than one folder. I suppose we could create a tree of sites:

/discovery/staging/luna/ [*directory.xml]
/discovery/staging/luna/central/ [composite]
/discovery/staging/luna/earlyaccess/ [composite + properties file]

b) to insert Central TP into the /updates/staging/luna/ site will require either COPYING the whole target platform, or linking to it; linking won't work because the composite*.xml is generated dynamically by a script that looks at the folder contents. We could however create a subfolder /central/ under the /luna/ folder, but that's still a different URL pattern

c) will have to revisit how the publishing process for Central and EA content happens, since we're now pushing two different sites instead of one combined one; affects jobs which call promote.sh AND release guide steps
