Benjamin Gilbert c7c7b202dd Don't delete old releases from the website
It's convenient for old releases to be available indefinitely so that
deployment scripts can retrieve a particular qualified version.  This
won't affect the disk space requirements of the repository, since the
old packages will be in the Git history anyhow.

Move packages to a subdirectory of the site root to avoid causing
permanent clutter.

# OpenSeadragon
An open-source, web-based viewer for zoomable images, implemented in pure JavaScript.
See it in action at http://openseadragon.github.io/.
## Stable Builds
Stable builds of OpenSeadragon releases are available
[here](http://openseadragon.github.io/releases/).
## First Time Setup
All command-line operations are scripted using [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) which is based on [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/). To get set up:
1. Install Node, if you haven't already (available at the link above)
1. Install the Grunt command line runner (if you haven't already); on the command line, run `npm install -g grunt-cli`
1. Clone the openseadragon repository
1. On the command line, go in to the openseadragon folder
1. Run `npm install`
You're set... continue reading for build and test instructions.
## Building from Source
To build, just run (on the command line, in the openseadragon folder):
grunt
If you want Grunt to watch your source files and rebuild every time you change one, use:
grunt watch
The built files appear in the `build` folder.
If you want to build tar and zip files for distribution (they will also appear in the `build` folder), use:
grunt package
Note that the `build` folder is masked with .gitignore; it's just for your local use, and won't be checked in to the repository.
You can also publish the built version to the site-build repository. This assumes you have cloned it next to this repository. The command is:
grunt publish
... which will delete the existing openseadragon folder, along with the .zip and .tar.gz files, out of the site-build folder and replace them with newly built ones from the source in this repository; you'll then need to commit the changes to site-build.
## Testing
Our tests are based on [QUnit](http://qunitjs.com/) and [PhantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/); they're both installed when you run `npm install`. At the moment we don't have much in the way of tests, but we're working to fix that. To run on the command line:
grunt test
If you wish to work interactively with the tests or test your changes:
grunt connect watch
and open `http://localhost:8000/` in your browser
