Website deployment issues

[UlisesGascon]

Seems like #831 and #832 are not yet in the production website, looking at the logs we might need to re-include the netlify integration?

Quick Update: I reconnected the Repo at netlify but we are not able to deploy yet.

I need to get the build process running with Node v12 (at least).
The last successful deployment was build with Node v8 which isn’t available on netlify.

I try to get this builded locally and open a PR.

Besides that:
Invites for the yeoman team at netlify are on their way to both of you @JoshuaKGoldberg and @UlisesGascon

Phew. What a ride.

First things first: The main branch is live:

But I had problems to understand why npm install failed locally as well as on netlify with the Node versions it used to work.
There were node-gyp issues which I thought were caused by dependency updates.

Turns out: It was caused be a Python version mismatch.

I fixed that on the netlify side by setting the needed python version via environment variable:

Going to document the needed versions this in the readme.

The build setup needs a complete rewrite. But that’s a whole different story 🙈

Maybe also relevant: #833

Confirmed that the website is live deploying and re-building quickly from changes. 🚀
