This patch reviews the "Answer to the debconf" things in every service, so that they look the same. It also adds links to the debconf chapter, so that users can navigate more easily in the doc. It also changes the titles of the debconf chapter so that they match the text in each chapter. It also documents the fact that python-argparse should be installed manually on all Wheezy setups, which is an issue that has been reported by some users, and which wasn't documented. The patch also extends the explanations about the meta-packages. This patch adds a lot of <informalfigure> tags that were missing as well. Finally, the patch also moves the explanation about remote MySQL setup from the nova installation procedure to the debconf-dbconfig-common section of the debconf chapter, which is a much better fit. This is my last clean-up work, I believe. Change-Id: I5a85f39e49786ae90cc0afbf13b94baf486408f4 backport: havana

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 15 and later:
yum install maven3
Building
The different manuals are in subdirectories of the
openstack-manuals/doc/
directory.
For example, the root directory of the OpenStack User Guide
is openstack-manuals/doc/user-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/user-guide/
mvn clean generate-sources
The generated PDF documentation file is:
openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide.pdf
The root of the generated HTML documentation is:
openstack-manuals/doc/src/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide/content/index.html
