Scripts for making changes to the ovn website

The scripts require python 3.7+. Dependencies can be installed by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

This is the main script in this repository. The script takes as an argument an OVN branch number, such as "22.03" or "23.09". The script then generates appropriate OVN website content for that particular branch. The script uses /tmp/ovn-website-workdir/ovn-website as the location for the OVN website. It is up to the caller of the script to commit and push these changes to an appropriate remote and/or create a pull request.

Rather than actually updating website content, the script works by regenerating content appropriate for the branch on every run. This makes it work both for new and old branches alike. When a new release is made on a branch, run

./update_website.py <branch>

And the script will detect the new release and update the release pages appropriately.

The script can also be used to update the support status of old branches on the OVN website. Like when a new release is made, you can run the script on an old branch, like

./update_website.py <old_branch>

If any old releases' support status has changed, then the pages for those releases will be updated to reflect this.

This is a convenience script that can be used to automatically run update_website.py on all supported branches. A potential use-case for this script is to run nightly in order to keep the support status of released branches up-to-date on the website.

• Add an option to update_website.py to automatically create a github pull request with the ovn-website changes from a script run.
