Goal:
Designers and testers need a copy of the documentation that is
contemporary with the code being worked on or tested.
Assumptions:
A git clone of starlingx/docs can be read as is, or can be easily
transformed into a readable form.
Solution:
1) Add starlingx/docs to the repo manifest.
- When a designer pulls new software, he/she also pulls new
documentation at the same time.
- If a designer elects to work with a snapshot of the code for an
extended period without pulling software updates, he/she continues to
have access to the documentation of the same vintage.
- This facilitates concurrent update of software and docs.
- Does the designer need to read raw rst, or can he transform it to
something he can use a web browser on to facilitate navigation.
2a) CENGN build publishes a versioned link to docs that matches the build.
- In raw rst form, it might look like
https://review.opendev.org/gitweb?p=starlingx/docs.git;a=tree;hb=<sha>
- Can we publish a similar link to docs.starlingx.io to get a
formatted web page matching a specific sha?
2b) Can and should CENGN run the software that transforms the the docs
git into web form?
- Assumes internal links can be version qualified, or must be relative.
- Feels like CENGN would be displacing docs.starlingx.io
