It doesn't get published, only built and stored as artefacts – though it's mostly a demonstration of what could be done. The main issue with using GitLab pages is that publishing wipes out the deployment every time, so we cannot have things like "publish the API reference for master under unstable/ and the API reference for for each branch under branchname/ and then publish the test suite coverage under coverage/". The only way to achieve this would be to build the API reference then push it to some other repository, and have a CI hook that deploys everything. This would allow building different versions of the API reference, and additionally have things like coverage (per branch) and a simple website. I've started looking into this, but it's kind of complicated, as it requires creating a new `glib-docs` user and repo; generate SSH keys for it; and then have the CI infrastructure store the SSH keys as secrets and use them during the CI build. Alternatively, we'd need a place accessible from the CI infra to copy our files into, that would get published automatically on our web servers. Ideally, this would also serve as the replacement for developer.gnome.org. Ciao, Emmanuele. -- https://www.bassi.io [@] ebassi [@gmail.com]
