Do we still want to do that for Python 2.6 and 3.0, and if so, how do
we go about doing that? I have this feeling that building the
documentation is much different now than in the past, and I don't
really have a good feel for how it's done now.
If you think we should release separate downloadable documentation
and
can help integrate that into the release project, you just might be a
Documentation Expert <wink>. Please let me know if you can help.
There is almost everything ready for doing this. There is a "download"
page in the HTML docs (that at the moment contains nothing).
If you tell me where the downloadable files will be on python.org, I
can
add them to the "download" page and you only need to build the docs
and
put them in that location. I've just added a "dist" target to the Doc/
Makefile, so a "make dist" should place all needed files in the Doc/
dist
directory, from where you can copy them to the desired location.
Benjamin has hacked on the release.py script to build and sign the
documentation. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it does a
'make html' and exports that.
Given the above, we should change that to 'make dist' and update the
PEP to describe scp'ing them to dinsdale:/ftp/python/doc/X.Y using the
templates on this page: http://docs.python.org/download.html
I notice that for 2.5, we zip'd and tar-bz2'd them. Do we want to
also support tgz? We'll have to hack the release script to build the
doc zips. I'll try to test drive this whole process soon.
Thanks!
