2 Jahre, 5 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I'm still busy with the documenttion about permissions. OMG! Lino is such a big beast! Explaining everything is such a huge task! More than a full-time job! And it's a quite fascinating job, by the way.

Turns out that the developer guide is still very chaotic here!
2 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I extended the [url dev.lino-framework.org/discover.html Discover some demo projects] page.
2 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I used Joy's last report to fix several bugs in the documentation

2 Jahre, 11 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I reviewed the [url cosi.lino-framework.org/about.html About Lino Così] page because somebody on Mastodon asked for a software "to print your invoices".
3 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I reviewed the developer guide for Redwan and after feedback I received some weeks ago from Fabien. We no longer let newbies install a "developer environment" and then throw it away to install a "contributor environment", we simply let them install a contributor environment directly.
3 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : The book isn't yet building correctly after my recent changes. I am working on it.
3 Jahre, 8 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Also the hosting guide should have the "four big top-level" sections (Topics, Tutorials, Recipies and Reference) inspired from [url docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/#how-the-documentation-is-organized].
3 Jahre, 8 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I made a few top-level structure changes in the Developer Guide. The whole book is the "Developer Guide".

4 Jahre, 2 Monate ago von Luc Saffre Antwort auf Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Bullshit. The code snippets aren't executed all before their output is being tested. It was because I had moved one code snippet down in the document. Now it's fixed.
4 Jahre, 2 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) (1 Antwort) : doctest docs/rstgen.rst is still failing because -as i learned today- the output of the code snippets in a doctest are being evaluated after having executed them all. I am still confused about what's going on there.
4 Jahre, 2 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I converted [url atelier.lino-framework.org/rstgen.html rstgen] docstring docs to prosa syle.
4 Jahre, 5 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I reviewed the [url dev.lino-framework.org/dev/translate/index.html How to contribute translations] page.
4 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I reviewed the Basics page of the User Guide. Maybe this causes minor issues in build docs for other repositories. Didn't yet test them all. Will fix them later.

4 Jahre, 10 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Uff, I finished to fix the warnings. See [url luc.lino-framework.org/blog/2021/1202.html my blog] for details.
4 Jahre, 10 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : inv bd currently has warnings in the book because the latest sphinx version is more sever about duplicate references.
4 Jahre, 11 Monate ago von Sharif Mehedi about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : combining /specs/search with /plugins/search has a drawback, that is: /specs/search uses lydia as demo projects where as /plugins/search uses noi1r. As far as I can see, it is not possible to load two sites on a single script, for django.setup() is idempotent, meaning - once (django.setup is) called...
4 Jahre, 11 Monate ago von hannes about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Added some improvements to mailing part of Hosting Guide (mailman2).
4 Jahre, 11 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I reviewed the general structure of the [url hosting.lino-framework.org/ Hosting Guide]. Don't forget to pull before you edit it.

5 Jahre, 3 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Most options of the tasks.py were actually already documented. I now updated the whitewall tutorial to link to the right place.
5 Jahre, 4 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I am almost done with the documentation about notify (for this time).
5 Jahre, 5 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I moved some content: the Developer Guide (docs of the book repository) is now published under a new [url dev.lino-framework.org/], and I moved the chapters about Lino from the Community Guide (cg) to a new repository "lf", which is now served at www.lino-framework.org. Th cg doctree no longer expla...
5 Jahre, 5 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I found yet another missing piece: we must differentiate between the Community Guide (cg) and the User Guide (ug). I now created the latter. It is hosted on [url gitlab.com/lino-framework/ug]. They are similar in that they both are docs-only repositories (they don't define a Python package) and are ...
5 Jahre, 5 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Seems that I started a next avalanche of changes in the docs. The "documentation framework" starts to meet my expectations, now I started to care about the content: a common standard for structuring the docs and reduce redundant explanations. I moved the "User Guide" section from book/docs to cg/doc...
5 Jahre, 5 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Wow, I had changes in almost 40 repositories today. They all have the same commit message [url luc.lino-framework.org/blog/2021/0427.html]. (I don't not recommend for my exotic practice of referring to a blog entry in a commit message... but today I would have taken half an hour more for these commi...
5 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : The docs about Lino Tera were still missing after the fire at OVH. Now I restored them, but they are multilingual (en, de), and I did not want to have the German docs under their own domain name. Now they are using the same method as for www.saffre-rumma.net, where [url tera.lino-framework.org/de de...
5 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I did a [url www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/builders/index.html#module-sphinx.builders.linkcheck linkcheck] run for book. It contains 260 broken links. Repairing them all would be an interesting PhD research project. Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux... But there are some false alerts among them:...
5 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I committed my work of today. See [url luc.lino-framework.org/blog/2021/0401.html].
5 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Thanks and congratulations to Charles who once more identified a flagrant missing piece in the Lino documentation: the [url www.lino-framework.org/dev/layouts/index.html Introduction to layouts] page gives only a very basic example of a detail layout. It doesn't even introduce tabbed detail views. ...
5 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I hope that I finally managed to get "pp inv clean-b bd pd" to fully pass on my computer again. The first time since the fir at OVH. There was a series of technically irrelevant issues because some URLs have changed.
5 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I updated two pages in the Hosting Guide: Dovecot and Postfix.
5 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Okay the system dependencies are now done. Now it says "warning: term not in glossary: Lino application". Haha, of course, the Community Guide is not available, and probably other intersphinx dependencies as well. So I need to migrate the CG first...
5 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Okay, not the pipelines on GitLab are asking "Configuring slapd. Please enter the password for the admin entry in your LDAP directory. Administrator password". That's because one of the environment variables need to be set.
5 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : The latest pipelines (and failures) are shown here: [url gitlab.com/lino-framework/book/-/pipelines]
5 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : Yes, I moved the book repository from GitHub to GitLab. In your local copy of the repository you must do: $ git remote rm origin $ git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:lino-framework/book.git
The test suite and the docs build don't yet pass on GL. I will continue on this in my next session...
5 Jahre, 7 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I plan to move the book repository from GitHub to GitLab now soon (in 15 minutes). All contributors will need to update their 'remote' setting. I will write detailed instructions later.
5 Jahre, 8 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I worked on spesc/lino.rst and decided to convert the settings package of min1 into a simple settings module. Because a settings package has the irritating side effect that Site.project_dir points to the settings/ subdirectory of the project dir while the manage.py file stil is in the "real" project...
5 Jahre, 11 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I had a look at Imail's shared table with issues in the docs. Couldn't reproduce everything. Saw other solution than he suggessts. Wasn't always sure whether I understand what he wanted to say.
6 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I reviewed the docs regarding data migration. Far from being done, but at least some vision for the general structure.
6 Jahre, 6 Monate ago von Luc Saffre about #40 (Improve documentation about Lino) : I added a page [url community.lino-framework.org/volunteers.html Lino needs volunteer contributors] to the Community Guide. This is just a beginning, please give your feedback.
