Description

Git web site publishing to be done via .asf.yaml only as of July 1st.

How to publish via .asf.yaml:

Publishing via .asf.yaml is described at:
https://s.apache.org/asfyamlpublishing
You can also see an example .asf.yaml with publishing and staging
profiles for our own infra web site at:
https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-website/blob/asf-site/.asf.yaml

In short, one puts a file called .asf.yaml into the branch that needs to
be published as the project's web site, with the following two-line
content, in this case assuming the published branch is 'asf-site':

publish:
   whoami: asf-site

It is important to note that the .asf.yaml file MUST be present at the
root of the file system in the branch you wish to publish. The 'whoami'
parameter acts as a guard, ensure that only the intended branch is used
for publishing.
