OpenStack Manuals
+++++++++++++++++
This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.
For more details, see the `OpenStack Documentation wiki page
<http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation>`_.
It includes these manuals:
* Installation Guides
* Cloud Administrator Guide
* High Availability Guide
* Security Guide
* Virtual Machine Image Guide
* End User Guide
* Admin User Guide
* Training Guides
In addition to the guides, this repository contains:
* docs.openstack.org: ``www``
* tools for gating tests prior to merging documentation in this repo
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 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/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide/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 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.
