lfdocs-conf 0.9.0

Linux Foundation DocsConf

The purpose of this project is to allow LF projects a centralized location for storing common project configuration.

To use this a project should create a conf.yaml file in the same directory as their conf.py. The minimal configuration for conf.py is:

from docs_conf import *

The minimal configuration for conf.yaml file is:

---
project_cfg=myproject

Docs will load default configuration for ‘myproject’ from this package if it exists, otherwise it will load basic configuration from Sphinx defaults.

Configuration precedence for configuration is as follows:

1. project/conf.py

2. project/conf.yaml

3. docs_conf/defaults/{project_cfg}.yaml

4. docs_conf/defaults/default.yaml

5. docs_conf/__init__.py

conf.py structure and documentation:

http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/config.html

TODO

• [ ] Define the minimal set of config values to release initial version.

  These can probably come from ODL/OPNFV site conf.py files.

• [ ] Use sane defaults, and don’t error out if something is not set.

  We must import each config cleanly (if it doesn’t exist, set None or something; like the function dict.get()).

• [ ] Create own documentation for project detailing use of ‘conf.cfg’

  file as some values will require subkeys given that they’re dictionaries or expect a list of tuples.

• [ ] Setup and document section. With the documentation organized by section,

  the config should also contain these section and look for their values under them.

  Sections:

  • general (aka sphinx)

  • project

  • i18n

  • html_output

  • apple_help

  • epub_output

  • latex_output

  • text_output

  • manpage_output

  • texinfo_output

  • linkcheck

  • xml

  • cplusplus

• [ ] Configure pre-plugin sections, and reference by plugin listing.
