Building the Site

The site is automatically built by Apache Buildbot when changes are pushed to the asf-site branch. Buildbot runs source/generate.py to generate the HTML files from templates.

To build manually (for local testing):

cd source
python3 generate.py

This generates content/index.html and content/downloads.html from templates.

Releasing a New Version

1. Edit source/versions.json:

{
  "versions": {
    "v10": {
      "version": "10.2.0",
      "date": "February 1, 2026",
      "branch": "10.2.x",
      "description": "Latest features and improvements"
    }
  },
  "news": [
    {
      "date": "February 1, 2026",
      "text": "We are releasing version <strong>v10.2.0</strong>!"
    }
  ]
}

2. Commit and push the changes to asf-site. Buildbot will automatically run the generator.
