This will both + offload the datatracker webserver and speed up retrieval of static files. + + By default, all external static assets (such as jquery, bootstrap, + font-awesome, qunit, select2) are served via CDN, while the datatracker's + own static files are not. It is expected that the more stable datatracker + static files will be migrated to be served via CDN also, over time. + + This release also adds support for easy update of external javascript, font, + and css libraries by means of a new management command 'bower_install' which + makes use of the 'bower' package manager. Use of this management command + requires that bower be installed on the development platform. + + When deploying this and following releases, a new action is needed in order + to make the appropriate static content available for serving via CDN: + + After checking out the release and creating the symlink to the new release + in the datatracker deployment directory, it is now also necessary to create + a new symlink within a directory which is served through the CDN: + + $ ln -s /a/www/ietf-datatracker/$releasenumber/static/lib /www/www6s/lib/dt/$releasenumber + + A note about that has been added to the README file in the datatracker + deployment directory. + + -- Henrik Levkowetz 06 Aug 2015 10:40:46 +0000 + + ietfdb (6.3.0) ietf; urgency=medium **Active area, directorate, team, and area group pages**
