Amarnath Beedimane Hanumantharaya commented on COUCHDB-1787: ------------------------------------------------------------ Hello Robert, yeah am participating for the first time!! so what are the pre-requisite to be known before i start with the main problem(code)? to be frank i known nil about Apache server. > Automate release process documentation > -------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1787 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1787 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build System, Documentation > Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber > Labels: gsoc, gsoc2015, mentor > > The release process today contains a large number of manual transformation > steps. > Fixing this will make the release process significantly easier for release > managers, as well as less error-prone. > Ideally the output formats (NEWS, CHANGES in source tree, and HTML snippets > for http://couchdb.org/ website and http://blogs.apache.org/couchdb ) can be > auto-generated from either the .rst files in share/doc/src using sphinx's > .versionaddded/changed tags, or potentially from commit messages if this is > appropriate. > CouchDB documentation is generated today from restructured text using python > code, and rolled into the release documentation during `make distcheck`. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
