Since feed generation is usually unnecessary during development (and can
produce potentially-confusing warnings when SITEURL is not set), running
"make html" will now skip feed generation by default. Feed generation
settings have been added to publishconf.py so feeds will be generated
when the site is published.
Also corrected some URLs in pelicanconf.py.
- if the output directory does not exist the 'make clean' command fails,
which also means that the 'make html' command which would otherwise
create the output directory also fails without generating the output
After waiting for pelican and server to come up, if either one has
died then give a more helpful message and clean up. Previously did not
check for this, so script informed user that everything was running even
if one or both parts failed for whatever reason.
This is meant to provide a little more user-friendliness
in those cases where user has a develop_server.sh in project directory
but forgot to (re)install pelican, activate relevant virtualenv, etc.
as well as other unforeseen situations where one of the processes does
not start.
Three changes:
1. Fix inconsistent "pwd" behavior by using make's $(CURDIR) builtin.
2. Change bash shebang to the more-portable form.
3. Tell users when Pelican and SimpleHTTPServer have been backgrounded.
Restore "make serve" to a non-backgrounded SimpleHTTPServer process and
give the develop_server.sh its own make target at "make devserver".
Add a few missing make targets to the help list and re-order targets for
consistency. Add note to docs regarding how to stop the devserver.
This script and the small changes to quick start's makefile make for easily launching and killing of pelican --debug --autoreload and SimpleHTTPServer.
This is extra useful for working on templates.
Certain configuration options are more useful in production than they
are in development. Some examples might be absolute URLs, external
analytics service identifiers, Disqus comments, etc. This version of the
quickstart script creates two configuration files: one for development
and the other for use when publishing. In addition, the related docs
have been expanded considerably. Last but not least, the quickstart
script will now detect whether there is a project folder associated with
the currently active virtualenv (if any) and use it by default.
