rs.gbif.org

GBIF Repository of Schemas hosted at https://rs.gbif.org

Build

The repository can be built locally.

git submodule update --init
./sync-extensions.py

(NB if an additional release of eml-profile is required, it should be added with a command like git submodule add --name eml-profile-X.Y https://github.com/gbif/eml-profile.git schema/eml-gbif-profile/X.Y.)

Deploying

Deployment to rs.gbif.org uses rsync:

  rsync -nrlv --checksum --delete --exclude '.git*' ./ user@static.gbif.org:/var/www/html/rs/

This happens automatically for commits to the master branch, and by a daily cron trigger, on the Jenkins build server.
