Description Vladlen Popolitov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-04-04 12:59:04 UTC
After commit 1971d0d1ff1d9b059eb15377e08c41b397b5a1ed, the website
content still builds fine in CI (no errors), but the live site at
www.freebsd.org does not actually get updated.

Several later doc commits also pass CI but similarly do not appear
on the website.

It looks like CI can build the site successfully, but the final
deployment to the web server is not happening.

There was a hugo upgrade recently. Possibly CI is using the newer
hugo version, while the server that does the final website build
is still on the old one — so the build passes but nothing gets
published.

Could someone take a look?

If the cause isn't immediately clear, maybe we should revert that
commit temporarily while investigating? That would restore normal
website updates in the meantime.

That's correct.

Website builder have been upgraded to hugo 0.159.2,1


$ curl  https://www.freebsd.org/TIMESTAMP

$ curl  https://www.freebsd.org/GITREV

It's good to check everything to ensure this upgrade didn't break any other parts of the website.

If necessary, we can revert this upgrade as well.

Regards,

It looks like everything works.
Last commits applied.
I saw pages in 3 languages - they look correct.

The commit 1971d0d1ff1d9b05 did changes,
that require huge 0.158.

I build website locally with hugo 0.158 to test changes,
it works. I do not know, could it break with 0.159.
