Gathering the metadata of repos and projects requires a significant number of HTTP calls and is therefore slow and expensive. When hacking on www-generator.py the ability to skip these calls can save a lot of time allowing much more rapid iteration. So add a persistent cache for this data, using the percache Python module. This is mostly run in the gate, where the cache will be deleted on each run. Documentation contributors running this locally may occasionally need to manually remove the cache file, although governance data generally changes slow enough that this is expected to be a rare corner case. As noted by the comment in _get_official_repos(), in the future we may add support for loading governance data from a local repo, thereby skipping the need for slow HTTP calls. But for now this is a simpler solution. Change-Id: Ib52171625e37169d00da03f436b58456c103b04d

Building
Various manuals are in subdirectories of the doc/
directory.
Guides
Some pre-requisites are needed to build the guides. If you are using
a Linux operating system you can generate a report of missing local
requirements with the bindep command:
$ tox -e bindepAll guides are in the RST format. You can use tox to
prepare virtual environment and build all guides (HTML only):
$ tox -e docsYou can also build a specific guide.
For example, to build OpenStack Virtual Machine Image Guide, use the following command:
$ tox -e build -- image-guideYou can find the root of the generated HTML documentation at:
doc/image-guide/build/html/index.htmlTo build a specific guide with a PDF file, add a -pdf
option like:
$ tox -e build -- image-guide --pdfThe generated PDF file will be copied to the root directory of the generated HTML documentation.
PDF builds are accomplished using LaTeX as an intermediate format.
Currently, you can generate a PDF file for a limited number of guides.
The supported list is maintained in the
tools/build-all-rst.sh file.
If you get the error message
make: xelatex: No such file or directory, it means your
local environment does not have LaTeX installed. Read Getting LaTeX and Install
dependencies for building documentation for instructions.
Testing of changes and building of all manuals
Install the Python tox package and run tox from the
top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of the
OpenStack CI jobs.
If you like to run individual tests, run:
tox -e checkbuild- to actually build the manual; this also generates a directorypublish-docsthat contains the built files for inspectiontox -e checklang- to build translated manualstox -e linters- to run the niceness tests, for example, to see extra whitespacestox -e linkcheck- to run the tests for working remote URLs
The tox command uses the openstack-doc-tools package to
run the tests.
