[PATCH v2 0/2] Build all docs in a single manual |
Date: |
Fri, 8 Jan 2021 16:14:14 +0000 |
Changes from v1 up top since they're minor:
* rebase to account for two new manpages
* patch 1 fixes the accidental omission of one of the
new manpages from the meson.build list
* patch 2 has been reviewed already
Summary of the patchset:
When we first converted our documentation to Sphinx, we split it into
multiple manuals (system, interop, tools, etc), which are all built
separately. The primary driver for this was wanting to be able to
avoid shipping the 'devel' manual to end-users. However, this is
working against the grain of the way Sphinx wants to be used and
causes some annoyances:
* Cross-references between documents become much harder or
possibly impossible
* There is no single index to the whole documentation
* Within one manual there's no links or table-of-contents info
that lets you easily navigate to the others
* The devel manual doesn't get published on the QEMU website
(it would be nice to able to refer to it there)
Merely hiding our developer documentation from end users seems like
it's not enough benefit for these costs. Combine all the
documentation into a single manual (the same way that the readthedocs
site builds it) and install the whole thing. The previous manual
divisions remain as the new top level sections in the manual.
thanks
