Christian Berendt 495f8199f8 [install] move OS_IMAGE_API_VERSION variable into "Create OpenStack client environment scripts"
The installation of the image service is not optional, because of that
it is not necessary to manually add the OS_IMAGE_API_VERSION variable to
the OpenStack client environment scripts after the installation of the
image service

OpenStack Manuals

This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.

For more details, see the OpenStack Documentation Contributor Guide.

It includes these manuals:

  • Administrator Guide
  • Architecture Design Guide
  • Command-Line Interface Reference
  • Configuration Reference
  • Documentation Contributor Guide
  • End User Guide
  • Installation Guides
  • Networking Guide
  • Virtual Machine Image Guide

In addition to the guides, this repository contains:

  • docs.openstack.org contents: www

Building

Various manuals are in subdirectories of the doc/ directory.

Guides

Various guides are in the RST format. You can use tox to prepare virtual environment and build all RST based guides:

tox -e docs

You can also build a specific guide. For example, to build OpenStack End User Guide, use the following command:

tox -e build -- user-guide

You can find the root of the generated HTML documentation at:

doc/user-guide/build/html/index.html

Glossary

Apache Maven must be installed to build the glossary.

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 Leap:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/building/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/devel:tools:building.repo
zypper install maven

To build the glossary, move to doc/glossary, then run the mvn command in that directory:

cd doc/glossary
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

doc/glossary/target/docbkx/webhelp/glossary/openstack-glossary.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

doc/glossary/target/docbkx/webhelp/glossary/content/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 checklinks - to run the tests for working remote URLs
  • 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 -e checklang - to build translated manuals

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