Rationale
The content design document describes the purpose of this page as:
C.1 BuildStream download page
The Download page is the central reference not just to download the outcomes delivered by the project, but also the associated metadata. It will also have structured and direct references to all the information required to have a smooth deployment/installation experience.
The structure of this unit will consider:
Versioning.
Platforms where BuildStream is expected to be installed.
Deployment mechanisms/technologies.
Complementary plugins and tools required for the deployment/installation/usage of BuildStream.
Additional content units that any user needs to consider.
Critical path design to ensure that the journey through BuildStream contents takes place in the pre-established order. This consideration applies in fact to, at least, every unit that is part of the critical path of any considered target audience.
Content structure and description
The download page has basically two sections:
-
Current major release -
Table with the following columns: -
Version (link to the release announcement) -
Platform -
Links to download form and hashes - Can hashes be published as stated in this guide?
-
Instructions: context and link to the right page/section of the instructions for the specific platform/deploy method.
-
-
Additional notes: metadata and any other neccesary information to access to what is required and all the considerations that needs to be taken into account by a user with no previous experience in BuildStream
