Christian Berendt b7c8b5e746 install-guide: move note into file and include note from file 
The "Default configuration files vary by distribution." note is
duplicated in a lot of files. This patch moves this note into a separate
file and includes this file in all files using this note.

OpenStack Manuals

This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.

For more details, see the OpenStack Documentation wiki page.

It includes these manuals:

  • Admin User Guide
  • Architecture Design Guide
  • Cloud Administrator Guide
  • Command-Line Interface Reference
  • Configuration Reference
  • End User Guide
  • Heat Orchestration Template reference
  • HOT Guide
  • Installation Guides
  • Virtual Machine Image Guide

In addition to the guides, this repository contains:

  • docs.openstack.org: www

Prerequisites

Apache Maven 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 different manuals are in subdirectories of the openstack-manuals/doc/ directory.

DocBook guides

For example, the root directory of the OpenStack Virtual Machine Image Guide is openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide.

To build a specific guide, look for a pom.xml file within a subdirectory, then run the mvn command in that directory. For example:

cd openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide/
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/image-guide/image-guide.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

openstack-manuals/doc/image-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/image-guide/content/index.html

RST guides

Then, you can see that the openstack-manuals/doc/user-guides is the RST based guide, So we can't use mvn command. You can use tox to prepare virtual environment and build it:

tox -e docs

The root of the generated End User Guide HTML documentation is:

openstack-manuals/doc/user-guides/build/html/index.html

The root of the generated Admin User Guide HTML documentation is:

openstack-manuals/doc/user-guides/build-admin/html/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.
