James E. Blair 79807e11a1 Change mycloud.com to example.com (RFC2606).
From RFC2606:
   To reduce the likelihood of conflict and confusion, a few top level
   domain names are reserved for use in private testing, as examples in
   documentation, and the like.

Currently the documentation contains URLs that point to mycloud.com,
which is registered and not affiliated with OpenStack.  It's better
to use example.com which exists for this purpose.

Building the docs

Dependencies

Sphinx

You'll need sphinx (the python one) and if you are using the virtualenv you'll need to install it in the virtualenv specifically so that it can load the nova modules.

pip install Sphinx
Graphviz

Some of the diagrams are generated using the dot language from Graphviz.

sudo apt-get install graphviz

Use make

Just type make:

% make

Look in the Makefile for more targets.

Manually

  1. Generate the code.rst file so that Sphinx will pull in our docstrings:

    % ./generate_autodoc_index.sh > source/code.rst
  2. Run `sphinx_build`:

    % sphinx-build -b html source build/html

The docs have been built

Check out the build directory to find them. Yay!
