OpenStack High Availability Guide
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This repository contains the OpenStack High Availability Guide.

For more details, see the `OpenStack Documentation wiki page
<http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation>`_.

Prerequisites
=============

`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
documentation.

To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later::

    apt-get install maven

On Fedora 20 and later::

    yum install maven

On openSUSE 13.1 and later::

    zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/building/openSUSE_13.1/devel:tools:building.repo
    zypper install maven

Building
========

The root directory of the *OpenStack High Availability Guide*
is ``doc/high-availability-guide``.

To build the guide, move into the directory ``doc/high-availability-guide``,
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory::

    cd doc/high-availability-guide/
    mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is::

    doc/high-availability-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/high-availability-guide/high-availability-guide.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is::

    doc/high-availability-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/high-availability-guide/index.html

Testing of changes and building of the manual
=============================================

Install the python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
gating jobs.

If you like to run individual tests, run:

 * ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests
 * ``tox -e checksyntax`` - to run syntax checks
 * ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - to check that no deleted files are referenced
 * ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these
tests.
