Introduction

These instructions are for everyone writing the newsletter, basically from nothing to something. This article is part of the DeveloperWiki.

Instructions

  1. Get most recent version of the newsletter: git clone ssh://archlinux.org/srv/projects/git/newsletter.git/
  2. Create directory for the new newsletter, in the following format (YYYY-MM-DD)
  3. Copy previous newsletter and css file into the new directory (newsletter-YYYY-Mon-DD.html and arch-styles.css)
  4. Update all the sections in the newsletter, this should be pretty obvious.
  5. Commit all the changes: git commit -a -m 'very short message of changes' && git push origin.
  6. scp newsletter-YYYY-Mon-DD.html to archlinux.org:/srv/http/html/static/newsletters/.
  7. Edit /srv/http/html/static/newsletters/index.html, update "The latest update" link, and add a new link at the bottom that both point to the new file.
  8. Announce on frontpage news.
