Cuberite Forum

I was wondering if the web pages need to be in the main repo. Can't we split them off into a separate repo? They are somewhat disturbing when viewing the history using gitk or similar tools.

Looking at the documentation at https://help.github.com/articles/user-or...ect-pages/, it appears they have ot be in the main repo unless we want to rename the main repo which would break a lot.

I don't think so. How does GitHub know that it should serve mc-server.org pages from the MCServer git repo? There has to be a settings somewhere, so we just make that setting point to another repo.

Yep, it's very easy to change AFAIK. I think you just need to make a repo of a special name and dump the files in and it should all work.

How about we try that for cuberite.org first, and then switch mc-server.org, too? What do I need to change on the DNS side of things?

GitHub knows to serve MCServer pages from the MCServer repo because it has the same name as the organisation. the problem we have is that the special name we need is what you chose for the main repo.

I have successfully tried this on the cuberite.org domain, it is currently hosted in the cuberite.github.io repo (the repo name is somewhat arbitrary, it just needs the .github.io suffix)

So I propose we move the main webpage away from the C++ source code repo.

I was wondering, with the old wiki we had a problem with the pages being crippled by spambots. How about if we created a separate repo for wiki.mc-server.org and do wiki-like pages in there, information-wise, but the changes would go through the normal GitHub process of pull requests? It will probably be a bit more involved to make changes, but we'd get rid of the spambots.

I have a PR open with a new webpage. I will add the robots.txt
