Create new website for geos - libgeos.org

[robe]

The job under pramsey's account on osgeo6 that builds the nightly snapshots and doxygen builds is broken.

I suspect it might have been broken by my OSGeo6 upgrade to stretch last month. The tar for example is complaining about -f switch not valid without a file name. I rhink this is a behavior change in new tar.

The doxygen piece I haven't checked. Might be a failure in geos.

Okay issue is because we require cmake now and script was using configure.

But aside from that switching to cmake doesn't work either because the cmake on OSGeo6 debian-stretch is 3.7.2 which is lower than our required 3.8.

Given that I really did want to move all stuff off of osgeo6 anyway and start building project specific containers, I think best course of action is to just move this work to another box. Debating if I should just move to debbie and change the paths accordingly. the geos.osgeo.org just redirects to trac.osgeo.org/geos. Alternatively I could build a dedicated container for geos to have a proper site for geos and any other task stuff such as the snapshots and dox build. I was itching to do that cause I really want project focused vms/containers rather than everyone sharing OSGeo6.

As was decided on mailing list we will build out a new site.

The primary site url will be ​https://libgeos.org #which is already purchased by OSGeo

The site will be hosted on GH Pages -- how we push to GH pages will most likely be done via GitHub Actions and Github Actions will also be used to publish the doxygen docs.

As mentioned here - ​https://github.com/libgeos/geos/issues/471 we also should have a citation file. We should have one in the repo too similar to what GDAL has - here - ​https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/CITATION
