Build website with Jekyll

[jacobwgillespie]

This depends on #433 getting merged first.

• Removes unused image, JS, and CSS assets
• Replaces Slick (the image carousel) with an updated version on a CDN (mainly for https support)
• Optimizes image assets to reduce bandwidth
• Adds Jekyll with templated release notes, homepage, and appcast (for app updates)
• Integrates with automated Travis builds

@radiant-player/radiant-player-mac this is ready for review

[jacobwgillespie]

If you'd like to test this, try running ./scripts/build-website.sh then cd website/_site and check out the results.

Just a thought - as this is triggered by Travis, does this mean it'll automatically deploy after any commit to master?

[jacobwgillespie]

Yes, that is correct and is by design. For the website, any commit to master will sync gh-pages with the website. It is limited to the master branch, so other branches won't go to gh-pages. I think this is the behavior we want for the website.

For automatically building the app itself, that will have some different logic (based on tags, so that when we tag 1.2.3 it will build and deploy 1.2.3, but only on that specific commit).

Seems to be a merge conflict in index.html. Let me know when that's sorted and I'll check it out.

And don't forget to port over the PR from last night as I think it's included in the "old" section ;-)

[jacobwgillespie]

Okay, merge conflicts are resolved and this should be good to go

[chrismou]

Yo - haven't forgotten. Just getting a ./scripts/build-website.sh: line 5: bundle: command not found error, which I'm guessing is something to do with not having the right gems installed, maybe.

Trying to work it out now. If it is specific ruby gems that need installing, will these need specifying in the travis config?

[jacobwgillespie]

Bundler is assumed to exist already (it's commonly installed with ruby) and is preinstalled on Travis. On your local machine, you can gem install bundler to grab a copy.

[jacobwgillespie]

Oh, and once you have bundler installed, you run bundle install to install the other dependencies. Anyways, again this is something Travis does automatically.

[chrismou]

Spent the past 2 minutes trying to work out what that notification sound was - turns out it was GitHub telling me you'd replied. This is what happens when I don't have music playing 😧

OK, will try that and report back shortly!

[chrismou]

Oh and I went through the changelog - nice one logging the ticket. I'll push that up too when I'm done with this.

[jacobwgillespie]

I just rebased this - you may need to re-pull

[chrismou]

Will do 👍

I have a favicon.ico file to contribute once this PR is merged. :)

[chrismou]

Only issue with the build process was @options[:href_ignore] will be renamed in a future 3.x.x release: http://git.io/vGHHy -- not sure if that's a Jekyll thing though

Aside from that, seems to be looking good. Though I'm making a mental note to rewrite that carousel to be pure CSS - the performance of that slick slider is awful.

[jacobwgillespie]

That's the html test tool - we can fix later I think...

Merging!

@andrewnorell, ready for the favicon!
