Documentation build issues 

Follow up with Jessica. Any news from RTD on feature adding. 

When the build jobs are failing on RTD can we get feedback in Jenkins?

Branching strategy @Eric Debeau and @Sofia Wallin (all doc project)

Proposing to work together with the integration project to come up with a proposal and bring to the community. 

@David McBride will join to discuss this further. 

Active projects vs maintenance projects. 

Problem statement:

The conf.py with the intersphinx mapping has different settings/configurations. Some projects refer to the latest branch and some stable/Frankfurt. 

After migrating we did see that some projects refers to latest even when choosing Frankfurt on RTD. Could this be because of the configuration or is the configuration based on whether the projects have created a release branch or not?

@Sofia Wallin  From what I learned from Aric, we do not need to change the branch in each repo whenever a project creates their branch. The branch= foo in the conf.py only applies to the default rtd theme, it doesn't do anything for the theme ONAP is using. 

All projects need to have build the stable branch before we can switch the main doc to be the next release branch. 

@Aarna Networks

We submitted and cherry picked the final patches. Sent an email to the team to get the tutorials published on RTD according to the decision taken in December.

These 3 should be moved to the ONAP user guide section as an rst file,

https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/vFWCL+Design+Tutorial

https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/ONAP+Service+Design+%28vFW%29+Tutorial

https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/ONAP+Service+Deployment+%28vFW%29+Tutorial

 

But the AWS specific tutorial will remain on the wiki,

https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DW/Instructions+for+K8S+cluster+setup+on+AWS





@Eric Debeau presented local documentation testing. We will document a basic for version for local RST rendering. Further extensions will be available if needed/wanted (such as spell checker + Linter) but this requires a more extensive set of tools. To be presented in the PTL call for feedback.

Status Notes: Eric has all information and will put it to Wiki, when he finds the proposed location

@Sofia Wallin to create a wiki page and send to Eric

DOC Local environment to write and test RST files

Eric requests the team to try the instruction before bringing it to the community.

Many links ara managed in RTD

  • local links within a repo

  • inter-project links using inter-links from sphinx

  • links to code repo

  • external links to web sites

There is a problem when a documentation linkes to a repo => the branc is not indicated. As result, the link points to the latest release

Propostion to provide guidelines to be then presented for PTL



Many links are broken => need to include a test in JJB and provide information about broken links

Feedback has been given, positive output. Next step, bring to PTL
